anyone else excited?

Not really.

With SOE lately It might be very dumbed-down f2p game, so not really interested with that.

If I will be proven otherwise then nice, but I don't hold my breath.

atm it seems like there promising eq1 and eq2 hybrid with forgelight graphics... and i have noticed alot of new console games using forgelight... hmmm maybe another console everquest failure game?

EQnext is about the only game I am looking forward to.

NOPE !

I have 2 accounts in eq2 and soon i will have none as SOE has really done an amazing job of turning me away.

Most people i feel just waltz through gaming trying to attain levels as fast as they can that they never really pay attention to what they are playing.Well i do pay attention and what i see is a lot of laziness and cheap attitudes by not  only SOE but other devs as well.

I have not seen one single content addition in my entire time in EQ2,it is just maps and more zones and more mobs,nothing ever changes.All SOE has done is try to streamline their games into an even simpler mode,so looking to the future,i see no future for SOE.

Smedley has already confirmed cash shop for the future so this alone means i wouldn't touch a SOE game even if it was the best game on the planet.I do not like a developer especially Semdley purposely trying to gouge more money than it's worth.IMO this shows absolutely no respect to the customer who is putting food on their tables and literally making them rich.

What io have seen from  SOE in EQ2 tells me the NEXT game will be nothing more than the same old same old with a different skin.

If word came out that Semdley had nothing to do with NEXT and it was perhaps the naughty dog division making it AND it had no cash shop ,i might give it a whirl.What makes cash shop even worse from a SOE game is that you will not only have a cash shop as F2p games have,but i am sure they will also attempt a sub fee as well.

Not so excited about EQNext.  If I was that excited about it I would be playing EQ2 or EQ2X.

I don't like SoE's approach and model for F2P on many levels.  I don't like how expensive their cash shop is, and I don't like how they, like Turbine, put some of the nicest stuff in the store as an exclusive.

I don't like how SoE seems to chase the latest thing willy nilly in an effort to garner more subs (sparkly vampires anyone).

If EQNext turns out to be a good game, then I'll play it.  But I'm in no way getting excited for anything SoE has in the works or is currently publishing.

that is exactley how i feel lol but i still have hope :( but for now im reinstalling the #2 to my 2nd favorite game and seeing if there has been any imporvement in a year ffxiv... im prepared to be disappointed again

I was until I heard it was going to have a cash shop.

is that true can u find the link for that so i can cross it off my list now

Wait is this a stand alone new everquest game or something they are trying to incorporate into the existing title. Either way EQ is the only thing keeping SOE floating.

very little updates so might be 2013 late.

its an all new game

EQnext will have a cash shop?

if so, then nope.avi not interested. 

Always interested in an Everquest game. I will reserve "excited"  until we learn more. If they go the F2P route I will leave it alone.  Havnt heard if it will be or not but wasnt some SOE rep recently cheerleading about the F2P payment model?

Free2play will turn me off if thats the route they go, if they have a minor cash shop like in eq2 now I will give it a go, I have so far loved all the eq games.

What is there to even be excited about?  Has any information been outed on it yet?

Yeah, I know John Smedley has on multiple occasions.  With Planetside 2 being free-to-play and DCUO going free-to-play, it's no surprise that they'd talk it up, though.

I doubt ill touch any other sony game. Look what happened to EQ2 it actually had challenge when it first came out now its butchered. With items in the cash shop that will kill mobs for you. I have little faith for any other everquest game they put out. Everquest was a good franchise let it rest in peace.

Barely any information to really get me excited, but I look forward to any quality game. I am a little skeptical because of SOE and there stance towards f2p now, might just ruin the game. 

There isn't enough news/info out there to be excited about yet.

Looking forward to it hopefully, but it's just to far from release to know if it'll be worth getting excited over.

Sure.....Everything is rumors, till its not....They talked about ftp, but it doesn't mean it's decided.

If it is pay to win....No.

If GW2 works, they could go that route, which I am more inclined to like.

I prefer paying a sub myself, then I know what I am paying, and I don't like a cash shop with anything other than vanity.
