EverQuest Next

EverQuest Next was a planned massively multiplayer online role-playing game , meant to be the successor to Everquest, EverQuest Online Adventures and Everquest II.

We are remaking Norrath unlike anything you’ve ever seen, but you'll recognize it." During Sony Online Entertainment Live, John Smedley mentioned that EverQuest Next will attempt to keep the free-to-play model for as long as possible. Purchasers of the $99.99 Founders Pack or the $59.99 Explorers Pack were allowed into this alpha testing as part of the game developers goal of "making development a collaborative process". In August 2014, at SOE Live, the EverQuest Next team revealed three new classes: the Tempest, the Cleric and the Elementalist.
