They already said it was ARAC. As it needs to be in a game with this kind of multiclassing. When being the best warrior might involve having rogue skills and wizard skills and shit, you can't have someone go 'i wanna be an ogre warrior' and then get shat on for it in the long term.

They should take a note from D&D and just make it more XP to level a toon that does not fit class/race that way you are gimped but it is overcome able with effort.

I don't mind that there'll be no hard restrictions for race/class combos, but I do wish/hope that there will be soft restrictions.

Or they go with (3):
Instead of more xp I would prefer the soft restriction to be based having convince a necromancer to actually teach you his tricks. That would require you to start out as another class (i.e. hard restrictions at creation, as the EQN is planned to have through the initial 8 classes) and then developing your character according to your personal goals for that character. "I'm gonna be a troll necromancer" (or ninja) would be your own personal quest without the game having a quest tracker for it. And depending on your interactions with various storybricks would be somewhat different for each player. Which brings us back to EQN being awesome IF storybricks is awesome. We'll see in 2015!
Gotta love fast travel accessed by tokens. That's one of the lamest fucking mmo concepts I've ever heard of.

There's a new video producer's letter up. Not going to bother posting it; it's not worth the effort.
This upcoming month, they're going to talk (and they said 'talk,' not 'show') about the building tools for EQNL, there'll be a new lore ebook, and they're having a livestream to talk about the roundtable.
*sigh*I'm still excited about the game's potential, but Christ are they bad at the PR end of things.

Dr. Neir:
There are even more ways to teleport for non-gating classes.
This is a nice one:Bulwark of Many Portals :: Items :: EverQuest :: ZAMInstant gate clicky, summoned by Mages (and tradable off course). This one requires no reagent, it is a random summon from the Cauldron of Many Things that mages can summon. They are not even Lore so you can have more then one in your inventory (do not stack though).
There is also the Veteran reward AA 'Throne of Heroes", ports you to the Guild Lobby, I think it is the 10th or 11th reward though. Recast an hour or so.
There is another clicky that teleports you to the roof of Gyrospire beza, but currently that quest is broken:Gyrospire Relocation Research :: Quests :: EverQuest :: ZAM
And then there are the Primary and Secondary Anchor devices that you can buy for loyalty points at the Loyalty vendor in PoK, which will teleport you to your Guildhall or House. They are on separate timers, and from the housing area it is a short walk to the Guildlobby.
Chasing some of those clicky items is part of the fun I am still having in EQ. Much more fun this way then simply opening up the whole world the same way for every class.

Having now had the opportunity to dump a few hours into voxelcrafting, if the popularity of Minecraft is any indication, I expect Sony will make a mint off of this game.
I've never played Minecraft and don't intend to, but I had a pretty decent collection of legos when I was little, so I'm not surprised that I enjoy this shit.

This is why we can't have nice things. Flex, give poor Jeffy back his combat doc. He'll need that in the next year or so.
