I like that they're asking the fans.

However "the fans" for EQ1 were responsible for voting for a new blue server (end of 2009?), which then got shut down 3 months later in favor of the 1st progression server, pissed off hundreds of people who put weeks/months into their new characters only to have it merge with Tunare...where everyone had about 2500 AAs etc etc [You must be logged in to view images.

The worst part was there was a really great community. I didn't want to play as Swishxxxxxx and quit Live on the spot... oh, and found P99 a few months later [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hopefully they'll take the fans input as a marker but not rely on it completely. Personally I think having a SOE account should be required to vote on that poll, else people will troll it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Fans are idiots when it comes to game design.

Honestly, EQNext looks like WoW and seems to play like WoW as well. They were saying that EQNext would be more like EQ1 than EQ2 and that just isn't the case so far from what we have been shown.

The first time I saw a video for it I thought I was looking at footage for Blizzard's new MMO, not the new EQ.

I'm keeping an open mind as more information comes out, but my opinion so far is that this game is not a step in the EQ1 direction, but further down the rabbit hole.

EQ Next was designed to be basically wow in the eq world. A few years back they stopped and redesigned the project but you can clearly see the old wow like design.

I never liked contested content in EQ. Hopefully they can get it right in EQNext. Remove static spawn points, static spawn times, and static zones. I've read some stuff on EQNext that leads me to believe they are doing exactly that. Dungeons will appear randomly in random spots, close up after so much time, maybe open back up somewhere else later and be a different layout. Here's to hoping for random everything. Give me a sense of adventure and mystery to the world, never knowing what is around the next corner.
