in Everquest II
Im thinking about leaving wow for EQ2. Im wondering if the populations are still high and if it is noob friendly. I havent played this game since its release a few years back.
Also I will be playing on a laptop
AMD Turion 64x2
Nvidia 7150M
2G RAM
I dont care about high settings, but will I at least be able to run medium quality?

Everquest II is still going strong. It's probably more popular today than at it's launch. However EQ2 is an old game and is suffering from a new influx of gamers who are wondering why it doesn't have some of the things brand new MMO's do.
All in all EQ2 is easy to get in to, fun to play and has loads of depth. I recommend getting it.
Good. I am downloading the trial now. I havent played in years. I quit before the first expansion came out.
To answer your questions yes and yes. However EQ2 is a lot different then WoW so come to it with a tabula rasa (Clean Slate). I have been playing EQ2 since release and it is still going strong. You should be able to play at medium settings with a few setting higher. Just turn off enviromental shadows, I do not think they look good anyway.
It is a decent diversion while you wiat for the 2008 MMOs. I am playin gon the exchange server and going to use the sale of my toon to buy a 2008 MMO.
The trial is awful,it really is SOE are really shooting themselves in the foot by sticking with it IMO,but its a great game

I agree on this...they need a new trial in the RoK location...and let them start as Sarnak or Faydark as a Fae...Best of both worlds...hehe
Later
Yeah, the trial is just soooo boring.
The fae trial is even worse!
There are two kinds of people in this world. People who pick their nose.. and liars.
Is the trial different then the regular game? I thought the trial was the in one of the starting areas. I have started a toon in all of the starting areas and I had a great time in all of them.
The trial is the game in extremely easy mode. There's also a few things you can't do in the trial that you can do in the real game itself. Its not bad so much as not a good representation of the actual game.
Incidentally, when you dl the trial, don't think you can only play fae. Your first character has to be fae, after that the choice is yours. Just delete the first character and play whatever you want.
The population of EQ2 is amazing, especially on the antonia bayle server
