Overall my gaming experience and enjoyment with Everquest has been subpar. But hey, I'm glad Sony let me into the beta test so I know better than to waste 50 dollars on what I consider to be almost complete garbage.
Lag = No problem there for me
Graphics = Wonderful graphics, nothing to complain about here really (the models don't suit my fancy but that isnt a big problem)
Yeah when you are going up to level 10 the game isnt that bad.
But after level 10 the grind kicks in. Level 20 it gets really bad.
Then you realize that the game has no diversity. And your doing the same thing's over and over and over again.
And normally it would take you playing 10+ hours to level. Then it turns into 10 days. Then it starts getting annoying. Then you realize that all there is to EQ2 is its pretty graphics.
Then you quit. Or you are are a stubborn fanboy. Or you never played a MMORPG before and your ideals arent exactly as demanding then us who have. Or your like a soccer mom type and wouldnt want to hurt anyone's feelings by unsubscribing or not playing the infamous EQ2.

You know what scares me even worse? Maxing my character in less than a month like I did in SWG. Leveling curves I don't mind it's running into a glass ceiling that I hate. I need a game that offers me a challange for years not one or two months like a certain game coming out right after EQII.
Of course if hitting the max in a couple of weeks then running around ganking lowbies in the name of PvP is your cup of tea then so be it.
The EQ2 fans are really looking forward to this game so no one dare hurt thier feelings!!!! But seriously though, even if the original poster is a moron everyone should admit that its not just 1 persons view point. I lost count of people that said : "Yes the graphics are pretty cool, but there seems to be no fun factor and after you get past the first few levels the game down right sucks." Please don't get me wrong I was really looking foward to EQ2 and was planning on getting both WoW and EQ2. Now however, I'm not so sure. Tons of people are saying that it shouldnt be released for another month or two... let alone rushed to an earlier date. So, will I still get EQ2??--Not now anyway maybe after a few months. Had SOE provided an OB who knows I might actually disagree with posters such as the original. But as they did not I'm not going to blindly spend 50 bucks plus a monthly fee on a game that might suck. I personally dont think that SOE is making an intellegent decesion as of the rush but oh well, screw them for a while I guess. WoW here I come!

Obviously you know nothing of the game coming out after EQ2^^. Had you done more research, you would learn the game starts at Lvl 60. Hmm lets see here, raid content.. instances, battlegrounds as you mentioned PvP and earning a hero status/class. And how about the overall fun factor opposed to work factor? Hmm lets see whats more fun? A game in where you can actually accomplish something and have fun doing it-- or a game in which you have to work(mostly in groups that screw you btw-as eq2 supposedly has no solo factor which sucks). Some might say "well, its more rewarding to get max level" well, this may be true but please... its probably more rewarding to play something that isnt pure grind and actually is fun to play. ---- As the hypocrit I am I still might get EQ2 later if I heard its gotten "better".---
^^^ this is where you need to understand that people are different.
some people like to grind, some people like to reap the rewards of being max level and go from there. its hard to say that wow sucks because its too easy to max level, or eq2 sucks because you never ever get max level unless you play a lot. some people like to grind exp better than others, it's kind of like the coming election.
things are simple, with just one example : if you are for the war in iraq, vote bush, if you aren't vote kerry. not that one thing but whole list can be made, if you like to grind, buy eq2, if you dont, buy wow. if you like pvp, buy wow, if you dont, buy eq2.
things aren't always as complex as they seem. so all the bashing of games on all forums can just end, if you like it, get it, if you dont, then dont buy it dont read about it ect ect. simple as that.

As i have not read most of this topic (read up to pg. 4 and just jumped to this page) i may have missed over some info gone over already. But i can very much assure you that most of these people who say that Eq2 sukz: here is a long list of reason i just copyed and pasted from another WoW (or something else) fan. Just look at some of the people claiming to be in Eq2 beta........OracleP4!!! God, ORACLEP4!!!! How more WoW fan can you get? Me and bobjones had to keep him at bay for what, like two weeks non-stop. He probly hasn't even been to the Eq2 website....ever.
I am in beta, for sure. Here is some detailed stuff only testers would know
1. The first thing you do after aquiring a house in the city is to go get a bank account.
2. The freeport guy in your starting house for the first hallmark quest hates you, but he gets all nice with a sadistic mean streak (i'm assuming the freeport militia had a nice little chat with him )
3. The quest is titled something like: Aquiring your adventure class, and you get it at lvl 9, the qeust gives you about 1/2 a lvl.
4. Some instanced zones in Qeynos include: Oakmyst Forest, The Caves, The Forest Ruins, The Down Below, and i belive that is most of them. Vermin's Syne is not instanced (last time i checked), and that caused much lag due to the 100 so people in the zone.
Okay, now you all know i'm in beta. So if all you haters are really in beta, tell me the server you are on and your characters name, and i will make a character on the server, and you can tell me in-person-in-game that you are the poster of those posts.
But seriously ya all, OracleP4 with a Eq2 beta account. And as i have mentioned before, i skipped from the bottom half of pg. 4 to this page, so if i have missed over some stuff (or the topic has changed direction completely) then plz don't be angry.

I'm not in beta. I have a few friends and guildmates that are though. I've yet to hear anything that would make me wanna play EQ2 nor have i heard anything that would make me play WoW. They both seem to copy EQ for large part so why would i give up the 6 years i've put in on EQ to start all over again? Since beta began i've noticed alot of people that were so hyped on both games have completely lost interest and returned to EQ in hardcore fashion. I will probably eventually end up buying EQ2 and playing it part time (and probably WoW too) but that will be in a year or 2 when the content is there. Whats sad is that I was really looking forward to both EQ2 and WoW as EQ tends to get old after awhile. I'm not sure that either EQ2 or WoW will have enough of a player base to live 2 years though. I only want a good game. I don't care who makes it. So far EQ is the best...
You know what is really kind of funny is if you go over and look on the WoW forums you will not see a lot of EQII fans going over and posting trash like this, however it seems as if their community just gets off on posts such as this. They must be real insecure about their game of choice. Anyway keep posting this stuff guys it just reinforces my opinions of the WoW community.
I wasn't too impressed with your initial review, I guess I had the same criticisms that others had with it. However, I appreciate your further clarifications and critique. I see where your coming from! I have read more than a few others who had simular comments about the game. Some of these people who have been personally attacking you are way out of line and its completely uncalled for. But hey, that kind of behavior is gaming forums are largely based on.
I am still looking forward to EQII and will purchase it. However, I will wait until December or so. I have plenty of other things going on until then and it is probably a good idea to let any MMO settle down for a month before leaping in. Actually some of the scariest comments for me have been the more unspoken ones, like the comments Coldmeat made. Lag, bugs, gaming balance, those things usually get worked out in time. But when I read comments like Coldmeat's, when he said that EQ2 seems to have very little of the 'flavor' of EQ1(lack of landmarks or continuity from the first game, for example), yikes, now that's some disappointing news.
I am not even going to mention WoW in this thread because the comparison comes up in every single thread I read. Which is odd, considering other than the close release date and the fact that these two games are both MMO's, they seem to have very little in common.

If you actually read my post, it says that WoW fans come to Eq2 forums saying they are in beta and not proving to anyone that they actually are, your so smart. (WoW fans do come to Eq2 forums saying their in beta and then say it sucks, just look at what OracleP4 did.)

Robot Monkey Jesus is not pleased with the level of stupid in this thread
I mean implying that people that like and/or play World of Warcraft are acne bespeckled teens!! The height of originality and wittiness.
Both games are flawed, though, of the two, EQ2 is suffering the most flaws, and seem to be trying to compound that by releasing the game too early, no matter how confident Smedley is.
Both games have fans with the IQ, and personality of a rabid badger. Nothing new there. The only upside of their bickering on various forums means I don't have to deal with them in game.
Comments
I started playing EQII last Friday and up till now, I'm a level 13 Warrior and having a blast.
The game plays like a finished product (up to my level). During my time playing, I haven't had a single lag.
I can't wait to buy this when it comes out.
Overall my gaming experience and enjoyment with Everquest has been subpar. But hey, I'm glad Sony let me into the beta test so I know better than to waste 50 dollars on what I consider to be almost complete garbage.
Lag = No problem there for me
Graphics = Wonderful graphics, nothing to complain about here really (the models don't suit my fancy but that isnt a big problem)
Gameplay = Uninspired and boring
Yeah when you are going up to level 10 the game isnt that bad.
But after level 10 the grind kicks in. Level 20 it gets really bad.
Then you realize that the game has no diversity. And your doing the same thing's over and over and over again.
And normally it would take you playing 10+ hours to level. Then it turns into 10 days. Then it starts getting annoying. Then you realize that all there is to EQ2 is its pretty graphics.
Then you quit. Or you are are a stubborn fanboy. Or you never played a MMORPG before and your ideals arent exactly as demanding then us who have. Or your like a soccer mom type and wouldnt want to hurt anyone's feelings by unsubscribing or not playing the infamous EQ2.
You know what scares me even worse? Maxing my character in less than a month like I did in SWG. Leveling curves I don't mind it's running into a glass ceiling that I hate. I need a game that offers me a challange for years not one or two months like a certain game coming out right after EQII.
Of course if hitting the max in a couple of weeks then running around ganking lowbies in the name of PvP is your cup of tea then so be it.
I miss DAoC
Well, heres what I have to say about it:
The EQ2 fans are really looking forward to this game so no one dare hurt thier feelings!!!! But seriously though, even if the original poster is a moron everyone should admit that its not just 1 persons view point. I lost count of people that said : "Yes the graphics are pretty cool, but there seems to be no fun factor and after you get past the first few levels the game down right sucks." Please don't get me wrong I was really looking foward to EQ2 and was planning on getting both WoW and EQ2. Now however, I'm not so sure. Tons of people are saying that it shouldnt be released for another month or two... let alone rushed to an earlier date. So, will I still get EQ2??--Not now anyway maybe after a few months. Had SOE provided an OB who knows I might actually disagree with posters such as the original. But as they did not I'm not going to blindly spend 50 bucks plus a monthly fee on a game that might suck. I personally dont think that SOE is making an intellegent decesion as of the rush but oh well, screw them for a while I guess. WoW here I come!

So if I like World of Warcraft does that make me a "fanboy". I'm assuming "fanboy" is kinda like a D**K rider?
Anyways.....
I had high hopes for both WoW and EQ2 but after hearing that EQ2 will not have any pvp I've decided not to purchase EQ2. No one cares right? Bingo.

If you actually read my post, it says that WoW fans come to Eq2 forums saying they are in beta and not proving to anyone that they actually are, your so smart.

"You sir, are a moron"
Robot Monkey Jesus is not pleased with the level of stupid in this thread
I mean implying that people that like and/or play World of Warcraft are acne bespeckled teens!! The height of originality and wittiness.
Both games are flawed, though, of the two, EQ2 is suffering the most flaws, and seem to be trying to compound that by releasing the game too early, no matter how confident Smedley is.
Both games have fans with the IQ, and personality of a rabid badger. Nothing new there. The only upside of their bickering on various forums means I don't have to deal with them in game.
So feel free to go back to your dick waving.
you can't tell an immature person they're immature. that's like slapping a rabid pit bull and saying they have a low IQ.
