"youll get your hands on a version of the game this year, dont mean a beta" Epic troll, Smed.

He and SOE successfully bamboozled us into thinking the game was almost completed, while SOE kept telling us how far along the game was.

But all he did was swindle us and not lie, because Landmark is coming out this year. How lame.

Touche, SOE. Everquest Next will release Christmas 2014, is my guess.

Bumptastic for Smed trolls

Yeah, I don't like marketing tricks like this from Dev bosses. We see too many of them and it shows contempt for us, the people who discuss, buy and play their games.

Some people who were deemed "Haters."

Tried to warn you of this stupidity. Thinking that an MMO could be developed so fast was pure ass-hattery.

Quite frankly stop buying into Smeds BS. Then maybe you won't be disappointed again in the future.

To paraphrase last night's 'Wilfred'

"NEVER.TRUST.SMED".

We should have that made up into a bracelet and distributed widely.

I'm not exactly sure what to be disappointed about here, it's essentially Minecraft, but a tool to use to gauge player impulse, which gives far better developmental foresight than the typical method, surveys, polls, forum postings, etc.... As for Smed, come on, it's Smed, being Smed

I guess we have to find something to talk about.. this topic is as good as any I suppose..

The fact the game is a year or 2 away from finishing? When SOE kept raving how far along the game was? Some people thought we'd be playing the real EQN this winter

Yeah, think we all out grew the complaining about SOE tactics ages ago and have become numb to it, though it is nice to see a new generation of SOE complainers have risen up to take our place.  Devs being devs i guess. Either you hate a game or you love it.

Who said it was a year or two away? You're making the same mistake those you're white knighting here did. Assuming or expecting anything in terms timescale of playable MMO's. Especially when there's been no mention of a release prior. You're going on vague information, IE something eq next related will be playable "playable" say it again "playable"....

My advice, go with the flow, also ignore the marketing.

This is the best advice, also ignore wild speculation by other players on here
