SOE Live will be at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas this August, featuring new information on the next EverQuest.
Fans of Free Realms, PlanetSide 2, and other Sony Online Entertainment titles will be pleased to learn that the company will be hosting a major community event this year.
Billed as SOE Live, the event is a community gathering where gamers and developers of SOE-branded titles meet. Activities include developer panel discussions and game-themed live events. The event will be held from August 1 to August 4 at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the US.

EQ next will hopefully stay true to the original. No easy mode, hand-holding wow imitation please. Make it difficult in places with genuine penalties for failure.
Not sure if they'd get away with making it like that after all the MMOs of recent years have spoon fed players to the point they expect everything to be given to them.
SMED is the man I hope they show some screenshots I love planetside 2 Waiting for anything on EQ Next for the past 3 years.
Very curious to see where they go with a third EQ, after having sunk hundreds of hours into the first two. The MMO landscape has changed a lot in the last 8.5 years.
1 Like Meh, EQ3 has been in development for so long they would have to do something pretty awesome for me to still be interested in it.
