Follow that link to see the latest Producer's Letter from EverQuest's Cliny Worley. It really wasn't an interesting read. In short he says, "oh hi! sorry we screwed up a few things, we'll fix that in the future" ... "oh yea, next expansion is in November... and will be a yearly cycle release during november!"
Oh wow that's weird, a yearly cycle release schedule... who was the guy saying that it needed to be changed over a year ago? ME! Who was the one that predicted that would change the release cycle this expansion! ME!!! So, in short, you guys should always listen to my EQ predictions...lol
What does this mean to the gamers of everquest? well it means next year is going to be a LOOONG year. Swapping from 6 month expacs to 12 months means that everything should slow down.... I'd expect to see a Solteris 2.0 raid designed... something that soo hard that it takes the ubers a full 12 months to beat it.
What I wonder about the most is how will SoE keep people interested with events and shit during the year... and with the extra time, what will we be seeing Developers doing with that time? Will they be fixing shit? I doubt it....
Truth is, I'm probably more scared of this change, than I am happy. If SOE keeps dropping the ball like they have been since Omens of War... then I really worry for the future of EQ.... but if they take a card from that uber MMO WoW, then I think we might start seeing an improvement. Either way, it's change, and hopefully it is for the better.

If they guilds stop progressing like they are in solteris now in the future eq is good as dead.
I believe that the dev team wants to make sure that guilds DO keep progressing... they know that if there isn't a constant stream of new raid links trickling through the game chat... people will get bored!
