SOE noted that throughout the tester, it will continue to "make adjustments and optimize system performance." In other words, throughout both Alpha and beta, the system requirements are subject to change.
During a Reddit AMAA yesterday, SOE boss John Semdley said EverQuest Next, which Landmark ties into, will launch "likely sometime next year."
He also mentioned in the thread that the developer will support Oculus Rift "in some way shape or form," and "probably for no other reason then it's really damn cool and programmers love that stuff."
