Everquest Next - Preview @ Forbes

Forbes posted a preview of the EverQuest Next Landmark saying it's much more than a world builder.

EverQuest Next Landmark is a full MMORPG experience.  This may seem difficult to take in, considering that it’s also sort of a precursor to another complete MMORPG, EverQuest Next.  It boils down to two full MMORPGs with the same building blocks but different focal points.  EverQuest Next Landmark will be deeply based in creative, building, and exploratory experiences whereas EverQuest Next itself will feature story driven aspects and progression.  While these are completely dissimilar titles, they will share many of the same underlying systems.

“EverQuest Next is more of a focused narrative with story arcs and rallying calls, emergent AI pushing things around,” says Georgeson.  “Landmark is very much an exploration in creativity and making things that are cool to show off to other players, but a lot of the systems developed for EverQuest Next will be put into Landmark.”
