If we go by what Smedley says..
EQNext will be a console / PC title, with forced PVP and a cash shop.
Just let it all out.

Yea I cant see them being stupid enough to say goodbye to such a large portion of potential customers.
Seems too dumb even for soe.
(My son speaking to his Japanese Grandmother) " Sorry Obaba, I don't speak Japanese, I only speak human."
I agree. I have yet to stick with a F2P / cash shop MMO for more than 3 weeks.

I doubt there will be forced pvp unless they allow players to become monsters which would be cool .
Ihope its true and PvP be forced on all servers i love seeing all drama here on mmorpg.com and ragequiters:P
well other than the console/cash shop bit..
Bloody awesome..
Do not stand behind Bill Murphy.
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.
Ye me neighter, but to be honest it was because they were themepark and became boring after 3 weeks. It would happen cash shop or not. As someone who have never ever bought a single thing from cash shop and was completely fine, I dont mind cash shops that much *shrugs*

…and if you get pked you have to walk back 10 miles to retrieve your corpse..
…and the pker will still be there to kill you again and again..
…and then, like a wimpo, you have to call you buddies to help you. Help, help, hep m’please.
If I want a world in which people can purchase success and power with cash, I'll play Real Life. Keep Virtual Worlds Virtual!
Uhh, why exacty? Bill has a pretty good reputation and a great taste in games. His opinion is pretty respectable in my book
It seems clear to me he was replying to the notion that games need to be hard for the reward to mean anything, NOT to PvP.
Oh god!!! Why oh why do I click on links.... *sigh*
My day is now ruined...
Funny you mention MJ and CU. We knew more about CU during the Kickstarter than we know about the 2013 E3Best of show champion: EQ Next...
