To be fair, they've also showed us a few prototype character models that they haven't had time to "polish" yet, and some concept art for some of the characters that they haven't had time to prototype yet.
Smed (I think) said they would have a playable demo at SOE Live 2013 back in 2012 (again, I think) but they overestimated how long the development would take, and they might have even had to roll back a couple ideas along the way.
Same here. I enjoy ninja-esq movement in my games. I jump-flipped a lot on my NE druid. EQN movement looks fun, Hardcore parkour ftw.

From EQwire.
"We're betting the company's future on this game. . The last EverQuest game launched in 2005. We've blown up two design ideas over the last four years because they were too 'me too.' It wasn't enough of a change. We settled on a design that, when we looked at it, everyone in the room thought we were crazy. We gave it a week and came back, and we all said 'yeah, we're still crazy, but we can't get the idea out of our heads. . It's going to be the world's largest sandbox game."
And. here's the quote that has everyone losing their minds thinking EverQuest Next will be released this year:
Players will have to wait a bit longer to try it themselves, but maybe not as long as you'd expect. "Players will get their hands on an actual release version of what we're doing late [this] year - and I don't mean a beta," says Smedley.
Don`t argue semantics. This is pure Bullshit.
ROFL. Are you guys gonna keep letting LandSeagull bait you? Jesus christ just ignore the tool.
I fully expect guard-jacen to show up and attempt to ban us for daring to defame his precious.
Surprised he hasn't banned LandSeagull for adding to his workload. If he banned LandSeagull he'd probably never have to ban another person.

Even in that quote from Smed he gives us the wrong freaking year eq2 launched. Seriously.
They think we are fully retarded, and when we toe the line we are proving them right.

If you actually read his quote he wasn't necessarily lying, but itwasdisingenuous because people thought he was talking about Next when he was talking about Landmark.
For maximum pedantic status: It was based on EverQuest but didn't carry the EverQuest titleLegends of Norrath shipped in 2007 if we're being accurate
I don't like the fact that you can't see the results, but I found this survey to be pretty in-depth. Might have been linked already.

Smed lied... period. He also lied about people being able to play the game at SOE Live 2013,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxE9j...tailpage#t=856.
Lying is different from making a mistake. He wasn't touting a playable demo a month before the event as if that would be the big thing to go for - Smed said that it would be playable at SOE Live 2013 a year before. If Georgeson's explanation isn't enough for you, I don't know what is.

It's fairly clear now that the sepration of EGN into EQL and EQN can be considered a third restart from scratch.

Lara Croft, think you hit that right on the head. I have some friends that will be geeking over this when I tell him. I have never gotten into LC but some are religious about it into a scary realm and have to play the latest game.

Think WoW has done a pretty bang up job of it so far and still trying to match a 1 button "I Win" into the game still. They have overly tweaked it and long since ticked off the crafting community long before the High-End Raiding content Guilds ever stepped foot into an instance portal!
----------------------------------
Overly neutral I dont like, but with limited info in the likes of Area 51 isnt helping. I want to see if they break from the grey area and something with good and evil. I get that every race is neut and that Dragons and other mobs are neut or evil/good in their own ways.
But anyone with history knowledge knows that if you keep multiple races together for extended time they have the tendency to become biased towards other races and only deal with it till they are no longer forced to. Maybe they have a plan (BSG), hoping it doesnt end the same.
Any chance that this whole "We scraped" rebuild was after Minecraft or Storybricks was out for a limited time and was gaining ground. I am too lazy to look it up at this time.
------------------------------------
Sidenote, do you think with voxel and storybricks plus the personal tweaks on armor/weapons looks that this model of game could finally allow a true Transformers game? One where you can build and customize your own toon and build other AI cronies, bases and other things to give way to a new Cybertron? Will allow planet layers to adventure.
