EQ IIFollow

Where ya'll at up in this *****?

$19 for the game + 3 expansions and a month game time.

I heard it sucked, the art was terrible, and it was largely ignored by the original EQ crew it was targeting.

I haven't played it for awhile, but I think it's really the most complete game out there right now. It looks amazing with the right computer, it's solo or group friendly, there's housing, instances, outdoor quests, great crafting, the mentor system is f*cking brilliant, it has the widest variety of races and classes out there and it's really just genuinely fun. If WoW wasn't so accessible I'd probably be playing EQII. Also, DSD and Sick are the best guides you could ask for.

Monks are hella fun to play and solo with. One of my former mains was a monk and I only switched to dirge because our raid force desperately needed one. Dirges are fun too, but there is a lot more survivability with a monk. I still use her once in awhile for farming harder spots. Feel free to look me up.

I agree with this fully, luckily they didn't go through with the fighter revamp, monks are great for soloing and also a good addition to a group.

Haven't played for about three months now, there's still an itch from time to time, I just don't care for the latest expansion whatsoever.

I have a Blackburrow char as well, but I hate soloing all the time... same reason I don't even play wow any more.

Compared to WoW, EQ2 requires careful thought and planning... The older I get the more I just like my games to be easy on the brain.

I have a 80 pally on Nek Server. I have raided just a few times and mostly just solo or group with a buddy. Haven't played in 4 months or so.

Graphics are amazing. Adventuring is neat. Quests are like WoW. Crafting is not like WoW. Housing is cool but completely fluffy and unnessary. Guild halls are a nice touch.

That game has evolved many times over with large changes to pretty much every aspect. SoE is trying to make it into WoW and failing miserably. My buddy and I started on it's release date. He is hardcore, I am just a casual player. He likes the endgame. I haven't seen the latest two expansion endgames so can't comment.

Only reason I play it was due to being hooked casually on EQ1 and the lore, zones, and such.

waiting for SOE to revamp the origonal EQ with WoW game play. origonal zones, origonal classes, origonal lore, just do away with the group mentality. mabe save the top few levels for groups, then dumb them down for solo when a new expansion comes out.

EQ1 has the best world in the mmorpg genre. also the worst playability for the masses who just want to have a little fun after work/school and not necessarily hold down a second job.

EQ2 is on the right track, but way too slow and way too late. they missed the train so to speak. a kinda sorta EQ1 who wants to be kinda sorta like WoW, but doesnt really fit into either catagory completly.

if soe waits too long, blizzard will do a revamp of the graphics in WoW, and not only will it be too late, the lights will go out and the door will close for a long long time.

the pvp games that have launched have been flashes in the pan, every one. bang, then gone.

If you can't easily solo until the last 5-10 levels (depending on class) in EQ these days, you shouldn't even be allowed onto a computer.

I won't.

Jade and I just dinged 70 yesterday and got to see the new expansion(months old, but new to me) for the first time. Also, I have played with an Allakhazam WoW guild on a roleplaying server before and it ended with a lot of butthurt. So not much different from the OoT guild I played with on a PvP server.

No.

Goddammit, BT. Why did you have to link that? I was happy not knowing about mercenaries.

I'll just pretend they're prohibitively expensive and difficult to use.

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!
