hmm
considering WoW is a Clone of Everquest. so Everquest 3 is going to be a Clone of itself?
EQ3 could clone WoW in the same way every other MMO has between 2006 and 2013, and still are.

Free to play is the ruin of many games. Planetside 2 numbers just plummeted after the first 3 months. Guild Wars 2 was the same.
Subscriptions are great for one great reason, great content and great community. Never have seen that with a F2p game.
If this game is F2P and has wow like graphics. I'm out.
EQN will be P2P at launch.
Its a full fledged MMO. Not a browser base game as someone suggested.
Its been in development for ~5 years, with a retooling(seems they are using the same assets, but the game design changed) of the game happening ~2 years ago. They said it would launch this year, which it could, because I've heard their E3 showing was extremely polished. I doubt they need a year plus long beta like ESO. I bet the game goes quickly into beta in August, with a December launch. It could actually already be in Beta with select EQ/EQ2 players being the testers. Also, allegedly parts of its systems have already been tested in EQ/EQ2.
Two of the big gaming sites (I think MMORPG.com and maybe tentonhammer.com?) picked this as their best in show at E3 so that's a pretty good sign.
Unfortunately they were both hamstrung by an NDA and couldn't talk at all about why they liked it ...
Was it even at E3? I did not hear that it was?
For those waiting on the announcement, here is a decent piece to read while you wait.
2. Grouping Must be Encouraged and Soloing Must be Discouraged.
5. Quests Should Be Rare and Special
8. No Easy Travel
do not get me started on the similarities between GW2 and WoW they are extremely similar
Exactly my complaints with F2P, it just attracts kids, idiots, and encourages publishers to nickel and dime the player with micro transactions.
I really do not understand how the action combat phenomenon has come into being? To me, being able to run around while you are casting does very little to increase the enjoyment of the gameplay.
I do not expect someone who actually enjoys GW2 to understand where i am coming from. There is definitely a group of people who is sick and tired of the WoW forumla (do not get me started on the similarities between GW2 and WoW they are extremely similar), and they are tired of everything being spoon fed to them.

Source?
Bull. Quests should be fairly common to provide a framework for players to work with. Remove the majority of the quests and you've just guaranteed the game to be nothing but tedium and grinding. Yay, I just killed 10 wolves and have 10 pelts! Now what? Sell them for a few coppers and repeat until I get a group? Boring.
Pass.
