Prestige Items in EverQuest are items obtained from higher-end content in the Seeds of Destruction™ expansion and later expansions, as well as most augmentations. Additional items may be marked as Prestige Items at the discretion of the game developers. Prestige Items will only be usable by Gold Members and will not be grandfathered in."
So basically, if you have an endgame character, all of your gear is going to pop-off your character if you decide to go F2P, and Sony can make whatever items they want subscription-only at their discretion. Fun stuff!
You guys forgot to mention that they are updating the stats on over 50,000 items in the game, which is by far the biggest change (and probably why this was delayed).
It's official: EverQuest goes free-to-play
