I'm an EQ vet also and I am torn at the moment.....Its a pretty world but not really a living world...Everything is scripted.....It feels like the game is trying too hard to entertain me....One thing most of us EQ vets miss is that we made our own story.....All of these newer MMOs feel obligated to try and do everything for us.

They do, however this mmorpg has more freedom to me then others for a on sandbox, plus you get choices in your storyline, this game has a bit more freedom then it seems at first. And what do you mean scripted? Show me an mmorpg that is not scripted, eq was very scripted. Atleast it gives the illusion its alive, really guild wars 2 is an mmorpg you play for a while and take a break, then it helps if your into pvp.
Actually for each person that posted they expressed at least one reason why, despite having purchased the game and played it, they do not like the game and can't be bothered with it anymore. You're like 3 years late to a party and screaming to everyone that already left the party "I'm at this killer party! Everyone should come check it out!"
No dude I express my opinions on games because I enjoy them, I never said anyone should come check it out, all people did was complain and did not really give a valid reason why it sucks so bad.

You clearly overlooked or are continuing to ignore the many various reasons that were given.

Bingo.
Unfortunately most of the people who responded dont relly know what to do with freedom, they require clear carrot on a stick/skinner box design as they have played EQ/WoW and have been conditioned to be that way.
Dont take it to hard of them, sooner or later they will break out of their conditioning.

Really? Well this is news to me as all I heard was its flashy and repetitive, the story is not good and the fact it does not have your typical end game grind, yet no one can explain how it is more repetitive then other mmorpgs, no one can explain how the story is bad. Now the voice acting can be weak if thats what they mean.
