Why do we need another EQ Clone?

This is just another EQ clone (like WoW).  Just this companies own version of it.  Why on earth do we keep getting fed this type of game?  Its been what, 15 years since EQ was released?  This game is version 123124143 of EQ (which is what WoW is).

    I find most people who think EQ and WOW have much in common never really played them both.

    But this title is likely along the lines of modern theme park design, which compared to EQ1 is actually very dissimilar.

    They were both a model, as they were very sucessful and define innovation. they were both médiéval fantasy and wow surely took some idea from eq but to be a model you also need to be very unique.

    Skyforge is nothing like EQ.  If you played EQ before 2004 you wouldn't compare it; completely different styles of games.

    Played EQ1, EQ2, WoW and I do not see how this game is that similar to them.  Defiantly not a clone of EQ1.

    Oh wait, maybe I figured it out.

    Both are MMOs, both have characters you can play, both have skills.  Hmmm, I guess they are clones after all. - sarcasm off

    Anyway OP, bad troll attempt.
