EverQuest Next is the planned next game in the EverQuest franchise of massively multiplayer online role-playing games, a successor to EverQuest, EverQuest Online Adventures, and EverQuest II.
 
The developers have stated an intention to return to a style of gameplay more like the original EverQuest, while retaining the advances in MMORPG design that have developed in the years since that game first launched.

Hopefully they get back close what EverQuest1 was and what made it great.. But add stuff that has came in over the years.

I think Everquest-style games are irrelevant in the current market. There are just so many things that are core to Everquest that embody everything wrong with the MMO genre that you couldn't really make a new one good without destroying that Everquest "feel."

This looks rather good.

Oh and being free to play helps a lot.
