    I think it'll just be Everquest with a subtitle of some sort. Or "Norrath" might be fitting.

    Where did you hear they are "starting new" lore wise?  And what exactly do you mean by that?  Are you saying they are not tying the game and it's lore to the other EQ games in any way?

     

    ill have to dig it up one of smeds many tweets.  

    It means the game will not have to follow the lore already written in EQ and EQ2 I.E the moon exploding crap or all that has happen in EQ (EQ has lore written for like expansion 25 already and they're on like 19).   It's still norrath and im sure the NPCs will have the same names or some of them.  Frankly it seems to be hes making.

    Dune.

    It will also be the biggest copyright violation in gaming history.

    I actually really like the idea of them just naming it EVERQUEST - I think it would make quite the bold statement that they do in fact intend to bring back the general style and feel that the original EQ presented. It's been 14 years and I still miss that game. I also like the names Everquest: Return to Norrath and simply Norrath. As stated though I'm sure they'll keep the name everquest in the title. Realistically though I bet they'll be super boring and name it Everquest 3.

    I hope they have the name EverQuest in the final name. It has such memories for me.

     

    I think it would great for them to call it EverQuest: The Lost Revenue

    Everquest Sons of the Profit (j/k). 

    Hoping it's something paying tribute to EQ1 and shunning EQ2, like

    "Everquest : Phoenix", or

    "Everquest: The Second one, no EQ2 didn't count."

    "Everquest: Now With More Brad McQuaid"

    "Everquest: Return of the TRAIN!!!"

    Dunno bout you guys but "EverQuest Next" actually sounds cool.

    They should change the name entirely. Everquest is fitting for a themepark quest grinder, not "the biggest sandbox in the history of gaming". Of course it won't happen since EQ is the brand name.

    They'll most probably get real creative and call it Everquest 3...

    I had no idea that EQ was a quest grinder.

     

    Everquest Next is fine with me.

    Everquest - The New Game Enhancements... it has a certain familiar ring to it.

    Everquest Nah.

    If the TCG game wasn't already named by it, EverQuest: Legends of Norrath would have been a good title (Or EverQuest: The Legend of Norrath) or even Legacy of Norrath: EverQuest. But hell, EQ:Next works for me :P

    keeping the word Ever quest out of the title may not be such a bad concept, EQ can keep alot of the newer players away from the game as they associate it with a old game they have heard about but probably never played themselves. 

     

    kEEPING EVERQUEST OUT OF THE TITLE WOULD BE A DUMB MOVE, THE TITLE ALONE WILL SELL LIKE HOT CAKES.
