Yep, cjguy. From what I have seen and read I have ABSOLUTELY NO interest in EQNext. The action is too arcadey and to me at least, it looks lie they are following in the moldof all the types of MMO's that have come out since WOW's success. Just too much like the others. Now, I am not one of the grumpy old men who think it will suck if it is not punishingly hard with stiff difficulty, etc. but it just looks too far off of the EQ mark, whatever that is. I should just shut up I guess. We allhave opinions but currently I have zero interest and will not be playing it unless it proves me wrong and ends up being a desperately needed breath of fresh air for MMO games. And it just doesn't look like it is to me. Looks like another watered down experience throwing out a few changes they think are innovative to the formula every uses to build their MMORPG's nowadays. I could go on a long rant about on the rails guidedby the nose progression that makes alts an exercise in tedium, but I have done it before and am almost sure to do it again, but that is for another thread. And by golly it is hard to type rants on this tablet, so I will REALLY shut up now lol.
Sorry for the typos but its is too much trouble for me to correct them from my tablet without my keyboard dock...which is lying too far out of reach of my hospital bed right now, :)
