I'm an original EQ player and I'm hyped for the game beyond most people, but if you actually read those 'Best of Show' articles... they don't have anything about the game itself. Apparently they were sworn to secrecy by SoE so they can announce it all at SoE live in August.
Now don't get me wrong, I've been watching all the interviews, and I hear whispers of great things. So much that they don't even want to talk about it yet because they don't want any competitors to know what they are doing. Particularly referring to sentiments from this interview:

I think giving Best of Show to a game and you can't explain why, is a little messed up. Still though, my EQN hype level is maxed out. Hoping for a real massive sandbox without the 'rails' of questing in theme park MMOs.
PS: I bet Titan was delayed because even Blizz wants to see what SoE is up to with EQN!
