Third person only?

Is this going to be third person only? I really really hope there is a first person view as well... both are cool in different situations.

    we dont know.. they have only shown the 3rd person camera in the vids as far as i know.. but they have not given us any details.

    They showed Occulus Rift use in the Black Box video, so it would seem that there has to be a first-person option, right?

    We're not sure if the camera used was even the character's one I think.

    In a lot of footage the camera doesn't move when the character does.

    I hope for  a 1-st person view with scroll to 3rd person. It's so much more immersive ~

    good point, although on his screen it wasn't 1st person

    I love 1st person, but the other views in EQ1 are useful if you get blocked by the terrain, even the overhead view.  The follow cam is my favorite for screen shots.

    Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

    I'm guessing it's designed to be 3rd person but you can roll your camera back into 1st person if you want.

    All EQ games have had fpv, okay you couldn't see your hands but they had it.

    EQ, EQ2, Vanguard, and probably others all seem to have a first person rendering option. I'm not sure if EQ2/Vanguard had it at release though.

    Be neat if they kept it in.

    I usually play in 3rd person but having a FPV is always nice (sucks GW2 doesn't have it). I plan to get a Oculus Rift so I hope they have FPV.

    This is something I think the combat style may influence in a negative way. Just about every MMO I've played with combat like this was strictly third person. GW2 and NW being two examples. I'm thinking about skills like the whirling tank skill and how would that work in FP view? I hate those types of attacks BTW...

    would be pretty dizzying executing that whirlwind attack in first person
