While they may only give you stealth of shadows for being a tier 5 rogue, I have a feeling that soe would give out a dps ability like double backstab instead. Maybe not for all the classes, but at least for some.

nope. Different gear means different abilities. If you're rocking elvish ranger armor you have different abilities then me in my qeynos armor. It seems yo be mtg as noted earlier by lithos or lenas
I think eqn will be huge. As I said before reveal eq1 only folks may hate it but whatever

I think you're wrong. They are heavy into uniqueness. Hardcore people will be known
So 5 item slots with one of them being a weapon. That leaves 4 other spots for gear which can have different abilities on them. 8 total abilities on your hotbar with 4 from from your weapon and the other 4 can be enhanced by the abilities on your gear maybe?

Nothing on this specifically, but devs stressed mob AI. Not shown on combat demo at reveal - mobs were stupid.

Given is a bad choice of words. Have access to would be better. It is sounding like gear will only be for looks and what abilities/spells you can use. So higher tier gear will have better abilities/spells, right?

That's actually what I've wanted to hear from an MMO for a really long time. I want somewhat unique spells that are either crafted or found again, god yes.
I know eventually most people will have everything but that's still awesome. And the fact that you can change classes anytime you want means you don't have to make fucking alts so you won't have to do it all over again.

I thought I remember him saying you could add to gear in like a gemming sort of way to add str, int, etc.

Ok so the battle scene at 53 mins into EverQuest Next Worldwide Debut: P2 was pretty awesome looking. The two minutes before that looked like crap though. None of the group of mobs that were engaged attacked the player first and some of them just stood there until they died. I'm sure, or I hope, they address that. Because up until they attacked that Vortex Lord or whatever it was seemed like some really simple easy shit.
Also, last question I'll ask...did anyone address what happens when a player dies?

1) Enemy AI was not turned on for the demo, hence why the goblins just stood there
2) They aren't talking about death penalties yet, but they did say there'd be one
mob AI was off for those fights, and death penalty has not been worked out yet. Possibility for harder ruleset servers either way.
They haven't talked at all about how they're handling death, I dont' think they know themselves
