An Everquest game WILL be made. Whether it is NEXT or not. This is inevitable as if its going to rain on the earth even the deserts get rain though sparesly. My prediction is, if it gets started from scratch, there wasn't much assets to throw away anyway. The Research and developement would have paid off. The engine and tech will have been "reborn" much fitted for it's eventual release in 2020. Everquest and Everquest 2 was set for a 15-30 year plan with expansions pumping out and improvements made. It would be wise for Daybreak to release another EQ mmo now but if not now then somewhere 6-9 years down the line. But they will i can sense this franchise not going away...
We have to see farther than what the next year or bi annual thinking can bring. The EQ brand is all Daybreak has in the mmorpg scope being Daybreak's only fantasy mmo. Could they actually create another franchise after spending so much time putting it into Everquest?
They're in the process of making other games as well, not to mention currently profiting off of others that they've released since EQ2. They just know how much they will make with EQNext what with the hype still going on from the first two games that after all this time their old fans will go for it no matter what, and if they were to scrap it at this point, it would just upset a lot of those fans that play their other non EQ games.

You're right. I think a lot of people would play a new Daybreak fantasy mmo seeing how many of H1Z1's fans are coming from PS2 up until when it becomes part of the all access plan.
