returning player questionsFollow

If you restart your old account, your original characters should still all be there, along with all their stuff!

Depending on which package you started wit it might be worth it to you to start with a fresh install in order to take advantage of new zones that you can enter at your level as well as upgraded features that are applied to all characters regardless of level.

Yes the game is still fresh, there are several new playable races as well as new zones added all the time and in addition, older zones are also revisited and freshened up by the dev team.

I recently tried to get back into the game and found a bunch of dead servers with mainly lvl 80's. I think out of about a week playing I passed 3 or 4 people in my level range and that was it. I think most of the people remaining are the people who have lvl 80 toons, not alot of new players joining.

Canceled my account and went back to World of Warcraft. Everquest 2 still runs poorly and apparently is still pretty buggy.

So you claim, but in all fairness fronglo, all of your comments have to be taken with at least a grain of salt... You tend to be very negative about this game - in fact you have been since launch. You have complained about not being able to find a group for as long as I can remember. Maybe we can chalk most or (/gasp) all of your difficulties up to a basic incompatibility between you and the game.

And furthermore, the game runs fine if you load it onto a decent machine. It is neither buggy nor does it run poorly... unless your computer is crap!

Regarding your return to WoW... best of luck there, I'm sure you'll be much happier there...

My computer should be more then powerful enough to run the game. I have 2 gigs of ddr2 ram Athlon 4800 duel core cpu, Geforce 8600gts with 512 megs of ddr3 memory. On default settings it runs choppy and the music is always breaking up. In fact the game did this on my old system when I first played the game shortly after it launched.

I really tried to get back into the game and enjoy it and I just couldn't. Maybe if I had tried another server it would have been better.

People like to make fun of the cartoonish graphics of WOW but when I look at my toons in eq2 and look at my toons in WOW I think the wow toons look better. In eq2 certain outfits don't even fit right on certain models. The water in Eq2 looks like its metalic and the detail just isn't there. I mean you go through places like Antonica and there is just nothing to look at. Its like tehy just took a huge square map and spent a short amount of times adding a couple of hills, caves that lead to no where and a handful of trees. When you go through zones on WOW you can tell they actually took time to make it look like more then a big empty field. I will admit I do like the Guild Hall and

Anyways just saying my piece and yea I tend to be negative.
