What features do you hope Everquest next has?

rungard

1) improved faction system from eq, with npc factions that you can actually join and advance in.

2) City building with player owned/ guild owned shops, castles, towers, mines, and even dungeons.

3) concentration on the first person perspective to make soemote really shine

4) integrated voice chat with modulation

5) multiple screen support to put all your equipment, chats etc on the other screen so you have the primary screen for the game.

6) Some kind of awesome good vs evil openworld pvp system, though i wouldnt hold my breath.

7) A giant dungeon underneath the entire world that is filled with all kinds of catacombs and has randomized scripted content all through out it.

8) no raid2win like in previous eq games. It can have raiding but raids should give guild level rewards not player level rewards

9) focus on small group content, preferably three players for a more intimate gaming experience.

10) Lot and lots of wilderness filled with randomized scripted content. Like a caravan of orcs or  goblin adventurers out in the middle of nowhere. No static spawns.

i have a lot more but ill leave it at that.
