Everquest Next (eingestellt)

With Everquest Next, Sony Online Entertainment wanted to open a new chapter in MMORPG history. Following the legendary Everquest and the sequel Everquest II, EQ Next was supposed to be not just an evolution, but a revolution, a reinvention of the genre. They planned an MMORPG with never-before-seen features: NPCs should be able to respond appropriately to various situations in the world. The environment should be destructible, and the freedom of the players should be nearly limitless. A ‘Next-Generation’ MMORPG, indeed. The development of Everquest Next was officially discontinued on March 11, 2016.
