Why would I want to play with tony the tiger and kung fu panda? lol, im not 8 fucking years old and this shit isn't the golden compass.

Lol. I agree. We have the ability to make realistic models with darker, grittier color palettes. Why don't they?

Edit: corporations don't make arbitrary decisions about things like this. Somewhere along the line it has been tested and proven that more people will want a cartoonish theme. My guess is that parents will be more apt to let their kids play the game if it looks like Nickelodeon made it.

In conclusion, kids ruin everything.

Can tell the angry people in here read little to nothing about the game so far.

EQNext is going to be a disappointment for the old EQ players.

Prepare yourselves as i was unprepared...

It has nothing in common "to WoW" ????

I dare you to prove to me that EQnext would be the SAME GAME if WoW had never launched??? ( oops, that would require thinking)

What a broad statement. The MMO genre would not be the same without WoW, as much as it is a convenient game to bring non-hardcore gamers into the MMO world.

Would there have even been an EQNext if WoW hadn't launched? Who knows? How in gods name would i prove to you something that was permanently affected back in 2004? You are silly. Take some more lithium before you blow a fuse.

Might as well give it a try. If I tried Rift for 10 mins, then I'm willing to try what might turn out to be a decent EQ game.

Simply put, no game is ever going to have that captivating feel like Everquest 1 did. Everyone says UO was first, which I don't deny, but Everquest 1 was by far the best MMORPG for it's time.

No game is going to have that feeling for YOU. There will be a whole new generation of gamers whose minds are blown by EQNext. You only lose your MMO virginity once.
