Erm first EQ is 5 years old dunno where your decade comes from.Also it has 500,000 accounts that seems to be still happy with the game.
And this is EQ2 which means new engine,new story arc ,new quest and so on.It is meant for people that love the EQ theme and world and want to try it in a new and fresh view.
But hey it might not be the game for you but from all forums seems millions are waiting for it .So EQ theme can't be all that boring to many.
While EQLive is alittle over 5 years old, we all must not compare the two games. It amazes me how many people try to compare EQLive to EQII.
EQII will be a brand new game, not in conjunction with Everquest. If people would stop comparing the 2 and have a positive outlook for EQII, one might be surprised. But until EQII is out for the public, please don't compare the 2 games.
Its a new game, one for many to enjoy when retail is available.

Erm do you think EQ2 would be better known then D&L if it was not a sequel to EQlive?
EQ2 is very popular because EQlive was/is very popular (seems obvious to me lol).
If EQ2 was named medival kings for instance it certainly would not get as much hype as it does now.
There is a lot of EQlive in EQ2.And thats what a sequel is about and thats why its popular.The story continues in norrath with same places ,races,classes and many mobs.Like a sequel should.
What makes EQ2 different(at least i hope) is it eliminates the bad parts of EQ,gives it a whole fresh look and continues the story with more features,more races ,more new mobs and freash quests.
But it certainly has a strong association with EQ,which is one of the most popular mmorpg of all times!
While I'm not saying this isn't this most common case, it isn't the case for myself and several others I know of. Personally I hated EQlive, never liked the game. I was in the beta, played for a couple months after it launched, went back a couple times over the years, never could get into it. The game just never did anything for me. EQ2 tho I'd give my left leg if it'd get me the game sooner. And I think one of the biggest reasons for my switch is they've changed a lot of the things that turned me off of the first one, and the graphics are a helluva lot better.

Well, when you think of the past president of the US, Bill Clinton, a democrat, do you think all future democratic presidential candidates will be just as bad as he was? (He had some bad habits.
) How about George W. Bush? Are we to just expect all future republican presidential candidates to be like Bush? The point here is why are you all using a previous game, EQ and EQlive, a game that's 5 years old, to judge EQ2, a game that is still in development?
Think on it a while. *smooches*

Nice analogy, Like others have said EQL still has a huge following. EQ2 is just geared for those that burned out on EQL. Or want something different for a change.
Btw,even though you are entitled to your opininion. One thing you cannot dispute is Bubba Clinton was the best president the US had since JFK. As far as his personal life. Hes the friggin Pres he should be gettin all the booty. He WAS the pres of the greatest country in the world. If i had it my way he still would be Pres.. Look where the US is today with baby Bush. Less than 4 years the economy and reputation is in the crapper. besides the Reps stole the presidency anyways. Gee, thanks Jebb.
Whether you want to admit it or not EQ2 is a sequel to EQlive.Unlike EA that said UOX is not a sequel to UO,SoE has not hidden the fact that this is a sequel to EQ2.
Of course it will have have changes.Thats the whole point of a sequel to remove the bad points of the original and improve on it.
Just watching that iksar stand next to blackburrows says its a follow up of EQ lol
I mean most of the zones clearly show norrath!And has resemblance to it.
There is no denying that EQ2 has association to EQlive.
Ummm....
You havn't read anything at all about EQ2 have you? You post makes me think not... Let's quote a lil info here:
See? It helps to do a little research before posting... It doesn't just resemble Norrath, it IS Norrath. No one was argueing that EQ2 had NOTHING to do with EQL, the argument was that they are 2 completely different games, not 2 completely different storylines. You wouldn't argue that Warcraft 3 and Warcraft 1 are the exact same game would you? Yes, EQ2 is a sequel, we all know this, hence the ***2***, no one is denying that, what we are saying is the graphics, mechanics and such of the 2 games are different, thereby making it a different game.

"There were much of the beautiful, much of the wanton, much of the bizarre, something of the terrible, and not a little of that which might have excited disgust."
Actually, that can be disputed, and polls show a much different conclusion. Looking back on presidents since JFK, Reagan was ranked highest, followed by Bush 41, Ford, Carter, then Clinton who beat out Johnson and Nixon. As for the economy, we went into a recession in late 2000. Bush has pulled us out of that recession. Bush may not be the perfect president, but Clinton was quite far from perfect himself. Heck, if it weren't for the false bubble in the stock market, we would have spent much more of Clinton's second term in a recession.
Okay, enough politics for me. You can bash whoever you want, I just couldn't let that go without setting the record straight.
Luclin was an add on to the EQ world as it is.Like 2 add on later when expansions were actually yearly!
Second what do u mean completely different world.Most of antontica zones are exactly the same names.Of course the looks will be different.
What do you mean never bothered to know anything of EQ2?please.I heard of it back in 2001 when the laptop of the developer was stolen!!And followed it ever since.
I been posting about EQ2 on this site back in summer last year,so i think its kind of funny for you to think i have no knowledge of the game .
It happens in the future?erm sequels tend to happen in the future
.Before that its called a pre quel.
Game mechanism is different.Been saying it for a while myself.
At least we agree that there is association between EQlive and EQ2 .
Apparently you just don't get it... Let me use smaller phrases...
No one ever questioned that it was a sequel... I was trying to figure out why you felt the need to state this and try to convince us it was a sequel... we never said otherwise...
The rest of my post focused primarily on this statement... Of course it "has resemblance to Norrath" because well... IT IS NORRATH...

Wasn't calling you moronic, was just saying you weren't getting my point, which could have just as easily been caused by the way I worded it, so I reworded it.

EQII is not a Sequel to my understanding the story line is before the gods and the moon (luclin) are descovered so it would be a prequel am i right?
No, EQ2 takes place 500 years after current Norrath time. Luclin exploded, which caused parts of it to rain down on the world, causing major damage, etc etc etc. The Gods have gone into hiding.
