Best of Show: Everquest Next
Say what? You thought this one wasn’t at E3? Well, really... it wasn’t in any official capacity. But we were treated to an early look at what SOE has planned for the game’s unveiling in August and we were quite simply blown away by every little detail we saw. This is going to sound like a cop-out, but we can't say why we are choosing EQN as our Best of Show because we've been sworn to secrecy until the big debut in August. What we can say is that we saw grand plans for the world's largest sandbox and it was more than enough to stand head and shoulders above any game we saw at E3. When Sony pulls back the curtain later this summer, you will not be disappointed. EverQuest Next is this year's E3 Best of Show, and in just a couple months you'll all understand why. We promise.

This is all I need next gen, PS4 version seems to be a no brainer hnnnnggg

My two worries about sandbox games:
1. They always seem to be clunkier and less polished than other games. MMOs already have an issue with polish to begin with.
2. MMO players are some of the worst people in the gaming community. Great people exist within the MMO community, but there is a lot of outright toxic folk who make themselves the head and face of the community. MOBA players are made up of ex-WoW trolls. Now think of that sort of community in a game world where they can do anything they want. I don't want to be in that world.
So you have to start putting in mechanics to limit assholes. Then it becomes less sandboxy, but more tolerable. It's a delicate thing to balance.
I am curious to see the actual game and how they handle these problems.

Etiolate: I think youre basing this on your limited experience with MMO communities (GW2, late WoW?)
Yeah that art is so fugly compared to

the EQ art never did it for me anyways
Though this will be their best chance to better realize it in-game.
They should have killed the giant WoW shoulders on that new art though. Come on now.

I hope the ingame art isn't cartoony and they are sticking to a somewhat realistic look.
Having a sandbox fantasy game is exactly what this genre needs. More dicking around, more community.

SHUT UP ABOUT THE SHIT ART YOURE RUINING MY DREAM :-\

That's got a style to it that is pretty old school fantasy, but it kind of lacks something that makes me think of the game itself rather than old school fantasy art.
See the real difference between GW2 art and EQ art is that ANet's ability to transfer their concept art into in-game visuals is top notch. However, like I said, this will be SoE's chance to perhaps do that themselves. (As long as its not like that revision shot.) I actually think going with a Conan the Barbarian look for the game would work well with the sandbox nature. EQ may be too colorful for that though.

This won't save MMO's. It'll be f2p within a year of release.

The thing is, everyone's got those now. Even the pencil and paper RPGs like Pathfinder are going that route. Oh, wait, no, it's because it came from pencil and paper RPGs with Warhammer.
"world's largest sandbox"
Oh thank goodness, that's what MMOs really, really needed. Bigger worlds. I recall walking across the Desolace this one time thinking, fuck I'd enjoy this shithole so much more if only it was bigger, with more, larger, empty, vast distances to cross.
Fucking dumbass pieces of shit. The worlds are too big to begin with.
Do you ever say anything positive?

I think it's launching F2P. Most of SoE's stuff is F2P now. Nobody is launching as a sub based MMO anymore.
