New EQ 'EverQuest Next' Unveiled
by Alice O'Connor, Aug 09, 2010 7:00am PDTSony Online Entertainment has discussed the new instalment in its MMORPG series EverQuest during its 2010 'Fan Faire' event, Eurogamer reports, and given the first in-game look at the new game it's currently referring to as 'EverQuest Next.'
SOE president John Smedley described EverQuest Next as a "reboot" more like the original EverQuest than its sequel, boasting a new "distinctive" art style.

Slides snapped by EQ2 Wire."We want to make something that still keeps the flavour of the original and the lore and the core tenets of it, but we want to make something that is truly next generation," Smedley explained. "We want EverQuest players and EverQuest 2 players to feel like they're at home, but a new home, one that's really awesome."
Sony Online Entertainment continues to work on supporting and expanding the franchise, announcing a new EverQuest expansion named 'House of Thule' over the weekend and launching a free-to-play version of EQ2 last month.

"The United States is structured in such a way that despite being seamless, each area was still called a state. "
WoW uses zones as geographical markers - lines on a map - as well as to divide the world from a difficulty level standpoint in a logical way. If WoW had no lines on the map, it would seem to me that describing your location would get a bit more tricky.
