Game Info: (Not much yet)
EverQuest Next is NOT EverQuest 3 or a direct continuation of the gameplay style of any EverQuest title. It uses EverQuest lore and a setting that will be familiar.
The official site is everquestnext.com/
It is farther along in development than the lack of info would indicate, they're being very secretive.
It incorporates Storybricks AI who go on to call EverQuest Next “the biggest sandbox ever designed.” Storybricks Presentation
A good collection of info known so far is at EverQuest Next - The Story So Far
Also EQNWire for any news that sneaks out.
Most likely(Definitely?) some method of Free 2 Play.
Even vaguer info:(Grain of salt)
"Wait until you see spellweaving in the next EverQuest," Georgeson teased. "I've said too much but you've never played a game like it. I can promise you that.
"Players will get their hands on an actual release version of what we're doing late [this] year - and I don't mean a beta," says Smedley.
"you have no idea just how far we are going to make them important. Oh yeah. You will both be very happy." Smedley regarding factions
"if they want linear and coddled then they can play a lot of other games." Smedley on sandboxiness
The end result is "an MMO you've never played before," he told me. "It's a completely different critter." Georgeson
So has anyone seen it, is it all hype?
EverQuest Next was at E3 though it was behind closed doors and only shown under NDA. Some people seemed impressed enough to give it best of show.

What's it look like!?
Who knows! A little dragon concept art.

And they hired an artist to redo the Original EverQuest artwork, it is not from anyone working on the game so not representative of how it will look necessarily.

It uses the Forgelight Engine like Planetside 2.Everquest Next has a lot of what I like to call “completely original ideas” in it.And that’s why we’re not really tipping off our competitors to what we’re doing right now.
We want a nice big comfortable lead before we tell people what we’re doing and that’s why we’re in a black box right now. Dave Georgeson, Curse Interview

Spoiler:
Say what? You thought this one wasn’t at E3? Well, really... it wasn’t in any official capacity. But we were treated to an early look at what SOE has planned for the game’s unveiling in August and we were quite simply blown away by every little detail we saw. This is going to sound like a cop-out, but we can't say why we are choosing EQN as our Best of Show because we've been sworn to secrecy until the big debut in August. What we can say is that we saw grand plans for the world's largest sandbox and it was more than enough to stand head and shoulders above any game we saw at E3. When Sony pulls back the curtain later this summer, you will not be disappointed. EverQuest Next is this year's E3 Best of Show, and in just a couple months you'll all understand why. We promise.

Spoiler:
We’ve been looking forward to EverQuest Next for quite some time now. Even though our expectations heading into our private viewing during E3 were high, EverQuest Next exceeded those expectations on all fronts.
While we are sworn to secrecy on exactly what we were shown, what we can say is that EverQuest Next was hands-down the best game we had the pleasure of seeing during E3 2013. Franchise fans and MMO gamers across the globe will be able to learn exactly why that’s the case on August 2nd during SOE Live when EQNext is given its grand unveiling.
Trust us when we say that you’ll want to mark that date on your calendar, and be prepared to bask in the warm glow of EverQuest Next in all its glory. In the meantime, kudos to the folks over at SOE for winning our Best of Show award; we’re as excited as you are to witness the impact EverQuest Next is surely going to have on gamers this August!
