I read about it on eqforums, more up to date posts there regarding it. EverQuest: Online Adventures is the PS2 version of EverQuest, and it did quite well, and is still around. It was pretty fun when I played it back in the day.
The graphics are just too shitty for me these days, but the gameplay on it was awesome. So i am hoping if EQNext is truely going to be console ported like its being said on blogs/forums, then I hope it follows the same model of EQOA.
I would probally get it on the console rather than on the pc myself.
