Landmark is not quite the same as Minecraft, while both games feature worlds built out of voxels, EverQuest Next Landmark's are considerably smaller, and consequently the world has a much more organic, natural appearance. The fact that Landmark doesn't restrict itself to using large cubes for building allows for greater flexibility, we see asymmetrical, rounded boulders; rock pillars;metal that has been worked in various ways; different types of stone and items of varying thickness made from them; and numerous other possibilities. Using the game's tools and materials, it looks like it will be possible to construct some impressive-looking structures and landscapes.
The developers of EverQuest Next will be looking out for the best creations in Landmark and incorporating them into the main game, with rewards on offer for those whose content is featured in this way. You'll also be able to craft items and sell them on Sony's Player Studio service for real money,like in Linden Lab's user-created virtual world.
The combination of EverQuest Next and Landmark is a genuine step forward for massively multiplayer online games, in which players will have as much -- if not more -- opportunity to shape the world and the experience as a whole as the developers will. Landmarks beta testing has been amazing so far and will only get better.
