I play EQII, although I haven't logged on in a week since I enrolled in some classes. If you played it at release, it's a totally different game now. Instead of starting off as just a fighter, scout, priest or mage archetype and then branching off at different levels you now begin as whatever class you want to play. Outside zones are now solo-friednly, with less heroic mobs and less linked encounters, although social mobs still remain. Combat is still sort of frantic button-mashing.
Definitely worth trying, and all things considered probably the best MMO on the market right now. The game looks great, it's polished, has lots of depth and good story-lines, housing, an involved crafting and harvesting system, mentoring...the list sort of goes on and on. Let me know if you decide to pick it up so I can direct you to a server other than the one we play on.
Friday is pay day, so I most likely will be picking up the full regular game to try it out for 30 days.
I downloaded the demo, Play the Fae, and am not impressed with that class, but I notice I am running at about 30-40fps at about high performance so my computer can handle EQ. I will make a thread on Friday after installation.
