No you ain't it will be free lol. Literally at least that is the plan. It's going to be f2p like Planet side 2.
Since they're just now opening these positions, I guess we're looking at something like 3-5 years before release As long as they do it right...
EQ Next gets another redesign.

I hope Sony pays attention to some of the comments in that thread. Like about running thru a zone, having no idea what's coming up next and then sometimes getting wasted by a high-level mob that just happens to come across you.
I agree that was part of what made the original EQ so addicting.
It's also the kind of challenge that current MMO players might not be able to stomach so maybe there's no hope for an EQNext with that kind of flavor.
I'd love to see another EQ game without maps... maps are the worst
