I read a lot about people's experience from 1-20, and EQ2 has a lot of great newbie stuff.
What is the game like 30+? Are the number of quests and solo oppotunities still there? Is the game still "fun"?
Some MMO's gameplay changes as you level up. New abilities solidify roles for certain classes. Group play becomes more important, more complex use of abilities come into play to scale up with the players knowledge of the game. Much of the issues with past MMOs didn't really become evident until higher levels, sometimes much higher.
