EverQuest and other MMORPG's are supposed to be about saving the world and vanquishing evil. But since you share a world with hundreds of other people with their own desires, said evil always has to reappear a few minutes later. So its less like being a fantasy adventurer and more like being a social worker.

Hence, this is why some of the MMORPGs are now changing how the zone looks for each individual player. In EverQuest 2, for example, when you complete a quest, that NPC might not be available/visible to you anymore. This won't be true for players who haven't completed the quest. Similarly, in DDO you would complete a series of quests and the zone would change to reflect your progression. Other players, of course, would not see this change until they had also completed the quests. So it's kind of like a single player game in a mmo.

Of course, the reason these things aren't normally shared is because it might block off portions of the content for players who might have the desire to play it, as you state.

Will wait for the reveal to pass judgement.

I've never trusted mmorpg.com's opinion on anything. In general those guy kind of suck.

My friends and I used to joke and call this game NeverQuest. Truthfully though there are a lot of quests that have more of a bearing on your charcter's progression. That is to say, WoW has a ton of quests but most of them don't really mean anything except a little xp and a little bit of coin. In EQ some of your best armor, weapons, and class essential items come from quest.

Been playing ESO beta and Wildstar beta, and honestly, between to two, even though they play completely different, I think I'm going to skip out on ESO. I've played every other ES game, and loved them to death, but ESO itself, is just meh. Wildstar on the other hand, is insane. It's so unique. Yes, it looks like WoW kinda, but plays completely different. Has one of the most unique combat systems, the classes are already very well balanced, and fun. The biggest thing for Wildstar so far, is that you literally have like 5 to 7 skills by level 10, so you're not running around, casting the same spell, at the same boars, over and over.

All in all, EQNext is going to be awesome, it has to be. Especially if they bring back anything old school about EQ.

Other than this video (that says nothing about EQ3), I'm not seeing a video about the game. Am I missing something?

Nope, things are under tight lock and key as far as visuals and gameplay. I think there is a big reveal coming Aug 1st?
