I kind of want to try EQ2 out, but I have this weird feeling that it is going to be a lot like SWG.

So, I am going to wait until it gets released and see what the general player feedback is before I plunk my money down.

there are many kiddies who play warcraft 3. many many many. if you've ever even tried to venture into the custom game types you will know what im talking about.

If Patrician and company start playing EQ2 and start up a guild I will probably start a character under an alias to make things as miserable as possible for them.


The sad part is that I don't think anyone thinks you're joking.

So petty.

While I have an active account in EQ still, my wife and I primarily play City of Heroes until WoW and EQ2 come out. I love CoH for the lack of time sink and non-camping. However, I really miss the fantasy theme so I am really looking forward to diving into WoW's open beta (anytime now). I plan on playing a Dwarven Paladin and a Gnome Rogue in WoW.

We have pre-ordered one copy of WoW and 2 copies of EQ2. From what I've read on both games' msg boards, it looks like EQ2 is more time-consuming where WoW is geared for the casual gamer. My wife is leaning towards EQ2, but that could change if the gameplay is more time-consuming as I just mentioned.

It may be a while before we buy EQ2 anyhoo, as we are going to have to buy 2 new computers to be able to handle the EQ2 system requirements (my pc is a 1 gig processor with an Nvidia GEForce2 video graphics card and my wife uses our laptop (2 gig processor with GeForce4 video graphics (pretty sure it cannot be upgraded, thus having to buy another desktop for her). And yes, I have looked at just upgrading the specific parts for my desktop, and it's looking to be less expensive to simply buy a new pc altogether. I'll just use my current pc as a web server or something.

Fortunately, we should be fine for playing WoW. After she gets a chance at playing WoW during open beta, maybe she will want to pre-order another copy of WoW.

I'm all for getting a guild together from the regulars here in either game (depending on which one we can all agree on and which game we are having the most fun with).

Until the open beta starts for WoW, I'll continue to get that lovely tingly sensation of gentle breezes blowing through my spandex in CoH...

I guarantee he's not joking

It would appear as though you can.

Promise? You'd have to give up poker for perhaps hours at a time!

I'd be up for that as long as noone expects me to be particularly competant, knows that I have an early bedtime, and that I'm distracted by shiney objects.

Looks like I'll be playing some over Thanksgiving weekend. I hadn't realized how early the release dates are.

If graphics weren't much of a concern, what would you guys play?

WoW is incredibly easy. People were almost at the level cap in 3 days of the game's stress test opening.


I'll be buying EQ2 so I can follow you guys around and act like I'm cool.

********* They gave free beta accounts to the top ten players on the stress test servers which one: made for a frenzy of leveling and two: got no one, I believe, above the high 30s. The cap at the time was 55 if I remember right. I read accounts of morans taking the week off from work and playing 20 hours straight at a time trying to stay in front.

Came in second, story of my life.

The cap isn't 45 anymore? I made that statement thinking it was.

Caps at 60 now and wont go higher. They wont do Hero clases (the post 60 end game uber classes) until after retail.
