The plot won't have fucking anything to do with anything that ever happened in the games. It'll just be some generic save the world from an evil wizard dude, probably MAYONG played by Jeremy Irons. Insert random teen hero to represent us as the "player", whose love interest will be Firiona Vie played by some ditzy blonde.

I also expect to see a gnome or dwarf used poorly for comic relief.

That's about it.
Pretty much what I'm expecting. It'll be like how EQ2 was in relation to the original game: no places look the same, completely different characters, not even the same spells, but EverQuest terminology sprinkled throughout. Realistically, they'd be hoping to appeal to an audience much broader than just those of us who played the game, so they won't care if they piss us off. They'll just do a LotR knock-off with EQ names and places and hope to rake in the big bucks.
