I enjoyed what I saw, caveat being if they can execute on all their grand ideas successfully. I don't mind the stylized art direction at all even though I tend to prefer a more realistic style. The artistry looks good, pixar-esque, and was impressed by the facial expressions.

I'm in the same boat. Really need to see a lot more than a basic tech demo. Hopefully we get some more answers throughout the course of the event.

Discarding combat mechanics and such, I kinda wish that EQ:N had this art style instead of the Disney look. Though the human female seems more Bioshock Infinite than WoW. The Lion however...

If they can manage it, I think it's going to be badass. I never expected this to be the second cumming of Jesus and I still really don't, but for they've shown I enjoy every bit of it.

Instead of commenting further on what I did or did not see today I want to share a hope. Sitting here watching Lord of the Rings this evening with my family, we were commenting on how you could nearly escape into this world and story. I felt this was true about EQ and Norrath. However they did it, you felt like you could easily be swept away into the game and I hope whatever EQNext does, I hope they create a world you can be swept away. I think they are trying to do that and I believe they'll take feedback into consideration with this so I hope plenty of you get into the beta.

For those wondering about multi-class progression:

Alright....time for a new, bright direction my friends. What we need is a kickstarter to develop a Disgaea MMO !!! Get in line, first 1,000,000 donators recieve a stuffed prinny.

(seriously though, fuck me why do they have to go almost the opposite direction of 1 of my 3 key areas of importance....their only saving grace will be to not have levels BUT have AA's!! Splendid idea indeed, pay me money SOE for I will save your game)

Okay, for those concerned about everyone can just be every class:

So how do you discover new classes in the world? Read a tome?

McPherson: In any number of ways. It could be that you need to go and help a hermit, who happens to be a high level wizard. He has issues, you need to help him, and he may have a storyline we have created for him, but the emergent AI in the surrounding area influences the majority of that, so it's never the same content you have to go through.

Butler: There could be a class that's unlocked by unlocking a combination of classes.

McPherson: Right, the assassin trainer won't give you the class until you're a really high level rogue and you've done a whole bunch of things. And the paladin for example, [Dave Georgeson, Director of Development] mentioned a life of consequence-if you haven't been making the good choices and being an upright and justice influenced person, you can't be a paladin. They won't let you, because the game knows what you're doing. So you have to live-in some of these classes, we restrict it to how you've been acting in the game.

So you may not be able to be everything. Perhaps someone who becomes a Paladin is barred from becoming a Shadow Knight, because their choices took them down a different path, etc. Sounds pretty neat, and actually pretty intuitive. Doesn't make sense to become a Paladin if you've been systematically killing NPCs of the Knights of Truth faction.

Progression is tiered. It is not level based, nor skill based. You're not leveling up by swinging your sword or getting X amoung of exp. Instead they're making it so you move through tiers and gain abilities/spells ( which you have to go and get somehow ) by accomplishing certain goals or tasks. It'll involve participating in certain quests, doing certain tasks, joining rally calls, etc. They are trying something different certainly here.

It is looking like Teso and Everquest Next will launch around the same time.

Makes me think 1 will try to beat the other to launch 1st closer to the date for better or worse even if they are not quiet ready due to each other.
