Tad10,
Can you back this up instead of being a twit and just saying that you're right in regards to Everquest Next being FTP? See I can actually cite my information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EverQuest_Next

If the game launches with a subscription model then it sounds like you're full of shit. This doesn't guarantee I'm right, but in light of the limited information at least it's information contrary to whatever the fuck you're saying.
Just told you how they are using storybricks and dcuo combat.... want me to tell you how storybricks also plays into the faction system with shitty errands and collect quest?

Wikipedia entry is bullshit. Smedley stated back in 2011 or 2012 that he's moving everything to FTP and he has.
It is same ftp system as ps2. Only difference is it uses a very poor version of valve workshop

Well he was quoted saying that Everquest Next will be Pay-to-Play October 18th, 2012 which is AFTER you're claiming he moved everything to FTP. Show me one link, one quote, anything after Oct. 18th that points to it being FTP.
Also, if this game fails and Wildstar is successful (Wildstar is actually half decent) then it will be the deathnail for this industry because they'll go back to believing WoW clones is where it's at - except you need shitty cartoon graphics too.

Eh, I think it's exciting that a big company (regardless of reputation) is dedicated to doing something 'different'. The only other big Western MMO on the horizon, Wild Star, looks to shamelessly be WoW 1.5.
That 'different' could very well end up being implemented very shitty, but I don't think that takes away from the first point.
Well its got a few new things but it's mostly just a combination features people liked from rift/tor/gw with eve backing

Dude I told you it was likely they were using DCUO-like combat, go back a few pages.
@Convo yes I know, I'm letting myself get trolled.

Teekey, read the last end of my post right above yours in re: to Wildstar. It's decent (up to lvl 6) but if that game turns out to be the most successful of this generation of MMORPG's then I fear that it may be the deathnail for innovation. The genre may stagnate even more than it has over the last decade.
...can't we get back to games including features such as taming dragons, poisoning cupcakes, mounted combat, awesome realistic fully tiered economy, incredible housing (castles sold for over $3,000 USD when the dollar actually meant something), great resource system and so forth - all of which Ultima had in 1997.

Mostly because of the secrecy. If the radio silence is under the pretense of not tipping their hat to the competition, it gives me a glimmer of hope that it's something that does not currently exist. Having said that, I'm aware that most of it is hype, and I don't mind it. I'm not so angry at video games that I can't enjoy getting a little happy about the thought of a game that brings something new to the table. I won't be heartbroken if it doesn't, but I can enjoy the ride, right?
Does that also mean there's at least mildly interesting crafting then cause from what I know the economy is good due to crafting being good.

This interview makes me hopeful. They refer to the world as a persistent virtual world/virtual life with heavy sociability. Let's see if they blow it by selling server transfers.
