Originally posted by Matt_UK I've played EQ up to a 60th level shammy, and i can't think of any reason why i would want to play another game in exactly the same world, with pratically the same races/classes. Ok so the graphics, the politics, and some of the skills are different, but so what? I'll still end up doing the level grind in one zone after another, and probably the same zones as in EQI. Why is everyone raving about this pointless product? Also, the avatar models are the worst i've ever seen. The armour looks painted on. They remind me of the paperdoll in UO 3D, if you know what i mean. Can anyone persuade me to play? Matt
hmmm i actually think that there will be a huge difference between the two games...if not i wont play eq/eq2 lol. i am pretty interested in the political aspect of this game (gaining favor with your cities ruler) and i hope that future expansions for this game might have a more open conflict between qeynos and freeport- kind of like rebels vs imperials in SWG
pennywise
I have amnesia- do you know anything about me?
Lo there do I see my father.. Lo there do i see my brothers and my sisters... Lo there do i see the line of my people back to the beginning.... Lo they do call to me, they bid me take place among them in the Halls of Valhalla, where the brave may live forever....
Well the reason i really want to play EQ2 is because i got into EQ just too late. I got into it right when games like SWG and FFXI were coming out. So i was quickly drawn to these other superior games, because of their amazing graphics and new concepts.
EQ2 gives me a chance to experience the EQ world i missed out on, but at a superior level. I've always loved EQ's ideas, the graphics just always stopped me from experiencing them fully.

Huh? SWG and FFXI are horrible games. EQ1 may not have quite the intense graphics (although I think they are better than FFXI's) but its just a much MUCH better game.
Laying in bed, looking up at the stars, a single thought passed through my head. Where the fuck is my roof?
SWG and FFXI have much superior graphics when compared to EQ. And i never said they were better games. But no i agree, Everquest deffinately has the best system out there so far for an MMORPG, well, UO is pretty sick. But Star Wars Galaxies was really good for a while, i just lost intrest, and well FFXI was a joke for me.
Dont get me wrong Im still getting this game when it comes out and compare it to WoW. But I somewhat agree with the original post. Didnt SOE already let us down with its latest expansions, killing most of the fun after new lands have been added. To me this is just another Expansion but this time you have to start at level 1 again. New graphix is tempting makes you wanna play it bad doesnt it? But then again when i was playing Counter-strike the graphix was horrible but i had fun, then I got bored after 3 years of playing it, Then alot of SKINS came out to make the graphix better realism packs. It was great graphix for a fps game. But all that didnt make me love the game more. So to me SOE is just putting out realism packs to make it look good. The game play will still be the same, hunt camp rinse repeat, which is good if you like stuff like that like me. Hey if we didnt have to camp in EQ i wouldnt have had a chance to reading LOTR book 2 times to understand it .
This is a good game to me but I have my doubts of SOE for a long time.

If you think the game is going to be EQ with better graphics, then you really need to do some research on the game.
No one put me in charge. I am in charge of nothing in EQ2. And I am especially not in charge of trying to convince whiners to play the game. Come on now, check out your first post. You complain about the world, about the races, about the classes, about leveling, you say so what about any changes, you call it a pointless game, and then you go on to trash some of the best graphics in the industry. And then you expect people to try and convince YOU to join in their community? Why should they? The last thing they want to do is hang out with someone who complains about everything and can't even be expected to do their own research. So, I simply suggested WoW where you would probably feel more at home with the kiddies and the cartoon like graphics.
Ouch! I was simply asking a question, and playing devil's advocate a little. If the game is going to be full of boring, lecturing bastards like you then i think i will give it a miss. Lighten up.

Wow dude im with Matt on this one. He just asked a simple question and it sounds to me like you took it personally. I dont see anything wrong with WoW but im certainly not going to trash EQ. WoW graphics are alot warmer than EQ and i like that, but hey mabey somepeople prefer Eq's to WoW fine. But i dont see why the fans from both games have to go around trashing each others and bickering like whiny 2 yearolds. Its the same old my dad can beat up your dad crap. P.S n2sooners lighten up and dont be such a wet blanket you sound like my dad.
Obviously Runescape has nothing to do with EQII but this is what it was like in Runescape when Runescape 2 came out, it was mostly the same except for a few new things, and even no the map was similar, you still needed to get a feel for it to no where you are going!
