Minecraft killer.

Ohhhh Turkish.

You beat me to it.

 

Agree. If it delivers what it promises, or a good part of it, it will be an excellent game, and possibly also a WoW killer for some players, but it doesn't look like a Minecraft killer and just being able to dig holes doesn't make the two games similar. Heck, I have been able to dig holes for more than ten years in Magic Carpet, Lemmings, Scorched Earth and I guess it was possible in many other games I didn't play, but I wouldn't call them "Minecraft killers".

There's a lot more to it than that lol.  You can also build, destroy, and it's not just digging a hole, its blast away the earth under you anywhere you go.  ( Except Starting cities of course, they would be torn to shreds lol.

Yes, I got it, but despite even strong similarities about building, destroying and digging wherever you want, they still are radically different games. Minecraft is like a giant, almost unlimited Lego box and it focuses on single player building activities, even if players can hare many activities, Everquest remains a MMORPG, focused on multiplayer RPG experience, where building (and/or digging and/or destroying) can even become the most important activity for some players, if they so choose, but it isn't by default, and even if it becomes so, it still must take into account interaction with other players, that in Minecraft is optional and far different.
