Everquest Next reveal today

No proper gameplay footage yet, game is a good 18ish months away from launch I think. There is footage (no mob AI, high level pc's, vortex stuff turned 'up high' apparently) - just google eq next gameplay footage.
 
hmph. they have a wallpaper that recreates the original box art.

Fironia Vie is now wearing blue leather and carrying a bow. She's quite ugly also.
Al Kabor is now white and carrying a sword.
The Bard lady is now playing a giant hammer instead of the lute. She's also been to stripper class.
The halfling has transformed into a Kobold or Ratonga.
Trolls are now Orcs
Ogres are now Kerrans
Dark Elves have grown horns and forgotten magic
Barbarians have shrunk

I find SOE's use of micro-transactions to have really elevated them to another level of greed. I find it pitiful and pathetic.

They are streaming some EQN content, and actually want people to upgrade (pay) for a "deluxe stream" to be able to use "epic emoticons" in the chat window.

It's sad, really sad, to see the path down which they have gone fully revealed.

EQN might be FTP, but you will pay for every last little thing. Expect to pay a small fee per chat window opened, per mile your virtual character travels, and every time you log onto a server...
 
Im a die hard eq2 fan and have Beta access to this now but good Lord, no point its gash in its current state. As FoxEye says they have become the biggest micro transaction whores of any game i have ever, ever seen in 20 years.

I have zero interest in it anymore. Maybe come back to look in a year to see how its going but now its just not even worth disk space.
