TBH, it sounds like they are using the triple class from THJ, and going for a harder difficulty.
The casual dad server is going to remain the untapped approach in all of this. You could solo everything in THJ with the right class combo's, and duo everything no matter what you picked.

Allowing for something outside The Vision to exist and charge money is better than what we had before. Full stop. I wish the THJ crew had done things above board so they could have been the ones doing this, but that's how the cookie crumbles.

If it flops it will be the only shot they take in this direction. If it is successful they will be open to doing more. It's always all about the $$$, and always will be. I am hopeful that it doesn't suck and makes money for that reason.

I hear it has an NDA that says you can't even talk about being in the beta. That's what they are saying on Reddit anyways.

You can leave the dificulty set to 0 if you want to just stroll around I'd imagine.
In the discord the dev Ailia was answering questions the other day, some of these might already be in the FAQ.
Things like research & poison making are gone and there's a new poison system,
every class vendor sells all spells for the class,
2H is the most popular style in testing with dual wield 2nd,
some class self-only buffs are permanent (yaulp/frenzy),
cleric has the most new spells of any class,
aa's are autogranted for some things like innate crit,
arrows/throwing weapons aren't stackable,
all armor & weapons that are equipable are upgradable even player crafted ones except stackable/no-rent items,
you get aa xp and normal xp both at 100% all of the time and there are custom aa's.
DT removed from the 3 planar fights, their mechanics tweaked
Alternate ways to upgrade items to help with last few ranks to +10 your equipment
Upgrading gear reduces weight
Map is in among other QoL features
I never played THJ so can't say how much of this is same/different.
In addition, when you merge armor it reduces its overall weight. Supposedly once you get towards Max status, each piece weighs less than 1 lb. And the Monk's AC bonus and all that jazz is only tied to equipment weight not bag weight. So that's very important.

Producer's Letter:
Hail Legends! The time has come, and we are beyond excited to open the gates and start bringing players into the EverQuest Legends Beta Test! The response to EQ Legends has been overwhelming. We currently have almost 35,000 Beta signups so far, and that number continues to grow rapidly each day. In order to keep the EQ Legends Beta Test orderly, we will start with a few hundred people at first and then add more over the coming days and weeks. Participants are being selected at random so everybody will have an equal chance of getting in. Please be patient as this process unfolds. Also, please bear in mind that EQ Legends is focused on being a place for casual players to experience and enjoy the game at their own pace and in their own way. There is no right or wrong, or better or worse, way of playing EQ Legends. For those of you that are EQ veterans, or hardcore gamers, we’re happy to have you but we ask that you show kindness and be welcoming and supportive to newer or more casual players. Remember, everybody playing EQ Legends can eventually see the entire world and get all the good gear regardless of play style. So let’s help them out along the way. Finally, I want to take a moment to give a heartfelt “thank you” to the Game Jawn development team, who have worked harder than anybody could believe to bring EQ Legends to life. Their talent, passion, and commitment to this game have been awe inspiring and I can confidently say that the results are outstanding. You are in for a big treat. I’d like to close this first Producer’s Letter with a note from Secrets, who is the lead engineer and CEO of Game Jawn: “The development team at Game Jawn has put an enormous amount of effort and creativity into the making of EverQuest Legends. We’ve taken the original EverQuest we love and reimagined it as a completely new and redesigned game with tons of new features, gameplay systems, and quality of life enhancements. The support and feedback we’ve received from our fans and the EQ Legends community so far have been amazing. We’re thrilled for everyone to witness the game for the first time.” See you all in Norrath soon!
