Only reusable assets would be the characters and props,. Voxel tech won't be usable. I can't see them salvaging too much. The characters didn't get much acclaim, mostly criticism even. And the art style won't fit every project. Also, tech advancements since EQN make it even more unlikely to stick with those old assets. There are newer techniques for better & more efficient results, for practically every aspect.
I can see a Planetside Game much more easily than an EQ3. Planetside seems tailor made for the Unreal Engine. But if it's a BR game then ..LOL.

Why would they use Unreal for a PS game? Seems like they would just modify the game in the existing lightforge engine.

After some Google Fu it looks like they were hiring for a new mmo and shooter set with existing IPs and a completely new project.
Now, with that being said I'm leaning more towards a PlanetSide game since they used a character name from the game and not my account name.
I would find it odd that they are working on a new PlanetSide after they just announced a graphical upgrade and a new faction. I guess we will see what happens.

Only based on the evidence that they are building on Unreal at all, of all their assets it makes the most sense for a shooter/action style game. H1Z1 or Planetside fit the bill best. MMOs aren't really proven on the Unreal Engine.. though I'm sure it could work.
But for a game like Planetside with vehicles & shooting mechanics, that's the Engine's bread & butter.

Right - not saying you're wrong, just saying it doesn't make sense to change engines from one that already works for a proported mode version of an existing game - just seems like a lot more work than necessary. It would make morse sense for a new EQ game, but that would beg the question as to why they wouldn't be using their own homegrown engine for that as well.

They may write EQ on it, but you guys know it'll not even be a game. That's just how bad the genre has become. You don't even think "this is a bad game, I don't want to play it".
You actually think "Is this a game? No, it missed that mark. That's not even a game"
