I think EQN will be what some people like - same as EQ2 (which I thought was horrid), and GW2 (ditto with some nice art, though not my style). But it's not going to fill the hole EQ classic left, and that's the point people are just now realizing. Mind you, it was never going to do that. That's what it started off trying to do and they scrapped it after 18 months. It was always going to be a marketing circus of showy "features" once they took that direction. Most of it is going to fall short in the same way Black and White and other games before it have, and for the same reasons. But fanbois and fangirls are going to suck it up regardless and argue passionately for it. The rest of us just quietly move on, again.
Apples and oranges, and horses for courses.
