The same tools used by SOE to build EverQuest Next will be available for fans to play with.
Landmark players will gain increasing access to many of the same tools that SOE is using to construct the game world of EQN. Not only will Landmark give players access to these world building tools, SOE will provide specific guidance on what we want help building. Through this collaborative approach, EQN may eventually represent the largest overall collaborative development effort in the history of online games. For anyone who has ever thought about becoming a game developer, here is your chance. Together we will build extraordinary things.
Landmark will launch this winter as a "Free To Play. Your Way." offering and the first step in a multi-phase release strategy. It will serve as the gateway to EQN and as the collaborative building hub where SOE will guide the development of selected structures and environments for inclusion in EQN. No formal date is set for the launch of EQN. Additional information, assets and answers to frequently asked questions can be found at www.everquestnext.com.
