Everquest Next
One of the grandpappies of the MMOs of today, the original Everquest helped popularize the genre alongside Ultima Online and introduced a lot of things that are common in MMOs today. Now, after nearly sixteen years, a sequel and a whopping twenty-one expansions, the series is looking to tread new ground with Everquest Next.
Calling Next an ”ambitious” game would be selling it short. According to the developers, players will be able to mix and match classes and change the world in a number of different ways, as enviroments are fully destructible, choices players make having lasting consequences and players being able to make their own content.
If it works well and lives up to the lofty promises, Everquest Next could be an incredible game and possibly the next step for MMORPGs. Here’s hoping it works out.
Everquest Next has no release date yet, but here’s hoping we get our hands on it in 2015.
