What can you tell me about EQ2?

[WiseKran]

Having maxed out one char in WoW and getting another to 45, Its time to start a new mmorpg.

I was looking at EQ2, because the first one was so succesful, and I did the trial and the combat seemed pretty good.
No problems running it on Medium settings.  

I just wanted to get some input on it, I think its sort of a hate it or love it kind of game.

What have you heard about it, and does anyone play it?

Grr. Just wait for dark and light. >=(

[WiseKran]

I watched trailors and gameplay videos for dark and light.

Cons.

-Stiff animation
-Random generated terrain
-lack of a solid storyline
-Graphics looked rather intense, like EQ2, but i heard that they dont scale as well for a realistic machine.

Basicly it looks like EQ2, but lacks a storyline and the gameplay doesnt look as nice or fun

DnL isn\'t really for mr good graphics. Terrain isnt random. Theres over 40,000 cities and towns, you build your own house... Theres just so much to do...

[WiseKran]

40k cities/towns?  I want to see that article.


If it truly is the game that your dreams have promised, then I shall get it. lol

Ill wait for it to come out.. Ill read some reviews.. Ill let you play it for a few months.. Ill ask you how it is. Then ill get it if its nuttin but sunshine

Anyways.. this is an EQ2 thread.. so does anyone have experiance with the game or know anythig i should know about it? how is it?

[Efflixi Aduro]

It\'ll be a while till i can play. I need those game cards and those are coming like a couple months aftert the release...

[WiseKran]

How come?

I was planning on that for wow.. But I aksed my mom If i could use her credit card, and she let me.. and every time a charge comes through.. i pay her in cash

[Efflixi Aduro]

my mom just doesnt like the whole idea of paying monthly for a game

when i start working or cards come out i can just pay and she cant do much so ya...

[WiseKran]

My parents were the same way.. And i was stuck for awhile.. then they finaly realised a was a lost cause.. so they gave up trying to stop me. lol

DnL? Link me please.

I don\'t pay for games my self. I usually either spawn them or play a share with a group of buddies. Afterall you usually have a number of character slots and we are never online at the same time. Some work nights and some work days. We have a schedule worked out.
That\'s why PS rocks so hard. No paying :]

EQ2 is a dissapointment form what i hear, although it will definatly take longer than WoW (way longer) to \"max\" out a character.

personally, teh best mmorpg i\'ve ever played was EQ 1, however its went down hill i and i quit playing after 5years of it. Not sure if its gotten better since all the powergamers went to WoW eq2, etc.

personally i\'m waiting for D&D online
