One Before Two?Follow

I am a long time FF11 and Diablo player. Recently I upgraded my internet speed, and PC. Also am thinking of taking a break from my two normal MMOs. To explore the world of Everquest or potentially another MMO. From what i'v read, it seems that EQ 2 is more popular then EQ. So I have a few questions about the series. ^^

1. Should I play EQ one before starting later titles? Yes or No, then what brought you to your answer?

2. What is the common base maturity level? Do most of the players you encounter have a very low maturity, like high school kids or is it higher?

3. How much time is usually required to reach higher LvLs in choosen classes? Does it take more then FF11(I think it's far to easy to reach 75), or more like Diablo? What is the TNL for Higher lvls? (guessing TNL applies).

4. What are your goals inside this Everquest world? What do you strive to reach?


Right now, those are the only questions that come to mind. I thank in advance, those you reply. And I am sorry if this post belongs elsewhere. This game looks very interesting and like a lot of fun!

1. Even though the games share a comomon title and lore, they play as two totally separate games. If you start in EQ1, you'll find that there are few players at your level range. Most of the player base is entrenched in the top tier raids.

You will also be disappointed if you spend time on the old graphic engine of EQ1, then come into the light and see the amazing graphics of EQ2.

2. EQ2 is generally a mature crowd. I can't remember tha last time I saw and OMFGLOLOorZ11!!ONE! in chat. There will sometimes be a flare up by some tool, but he is quickly ignored. Folks are friendly, funny, and willing to help out.

3. EQ2 is easier than FFXI, and you could grind your way to level 70 in 2 months or less. Of course that would mean missing all the content, lore, quests, and other special facets of the game. I have been playing since the game launched in November 2004, and have only just recently reached level 69. I play casually, do quests, tried crafting (didn't stick), and mentor my guildmates. That's the satisfaction I get from the game, and that may not be what others want.

4. See #3.
