Daybreak Games Company, formerly Sony Online Entertainment, has announced that its MMO spin-off EverQuest Next: Landmark will be going offline next month.

This was after long deliberation by the company, which announced the decision on its website. “Since Landmark first entered Alpha, we have been impressed by the creative talents in this community. You pushed the boundaries of what Landmark could do, and we are grateful for the time and energy you shared through your creations in this game.

“Beginning today, Player Studio items will no longer be available for listing or for purchase in the Landmark Marketplace. Landmark will also no longer be available for purchase. All items in the Marketplace with a Daybreak Cash price will have their price reduced to 1 DBC.”

Fan servers and emulators will not be allowed by Daybreak so this is pretty much the end for EverQuest Next: Landmark. Daybreak Cash will still be available in your wallet in the meantime.

If you’ve yet to hear of it, EverQuest Next Landmark is is the companion game to the highly anticipated upcoming MMO, EverQuest Next. EverQuest Next Landmark will be a sandbox-survival/building game in the same vein as Minecraft.

In the video above EverQuest Next Landmark producer Dave Georgeson gives us a look at some footage we can expect to see from actual gameplay. With this video we are able to glean some insight into the speed with which players will be able to get off the ground in terms of building houses, towers, archways, and a number of other potential structures.

Not only is the star-off speed on display, but we also get a feel for world, the game mechanics, and how the player will be able to explore and interact with the EverQuest Next Landmark world.

As of now Sony is selling invitations to the game’s alpha test phase, which will go live in February of 2014.
