All of this should have been in at release. They rushed the game to the shelves and released a sub par game.
Ya maybe a year from now it will be a decent game, but by then EQ2 will be long forgotten by the ppl that supported it most before it's release. too little too late.

Originally posted by shae Originally posted by Jodokai Well actually that might not be true. The saddest thing about you is probably the fact that you have so much free time to play EQ2, you've been able to finish every quest and level 2 toons beyond 40 when the game hasn't been out a year yet. Again, you've completely decided to relic yourself to the ghost of ten year old flame's past. Your so confused with your own thoughts that your stumbling around like that bully in the school yard that just figured out a girl beat him up: "Oh yeah, well oh yeah !, YOUR STUPID" pouts and runs home to mommy. And if your going to flame someone, at the very least try to come up with something new and original, seriously your shit has been seen, judged for crap and dumped on. I mean, I have no problem if someone turns a thread into some personal proclamation of testostorone on me but AT THE VERY LEAST stop boring me and come up with something different.
Wow, I had no idea I was arguing with a 12 year old. I'm out.
Actually what happened is that you tried to show off about how great you are at EQ2! Nobody likes a show off and as much as some of the sad members of this forum will run to your defense because you are female, nobody is interested in how fast you level etc. To me, the fact that you have to make these proclamations at all makes me think you are very young and/or very immature. S
LOL my god, are you even reading the thread anymore, or are you just so desperate to flame that your just making it up as it goes. The only time leveling in EQ2 has ever come up was after YOU stated that WoW is a less "serious" mmo because you can level quickly, to which I replied you can do the same thing in EQ2. Yes with a suffecient amount of time anyone can level to 50 quickly in EQ2 as they can with WoW but apparently because I used the I in a retorical answer it was enough for you to think that I was showing off and now you're calling who immature ?
Seriously are you just so round about unhappy with your life that you have to start picking appart absolutely everything in some vain attempt to make yourself look smarter, even at the expensive of comming off as completely lost ? Because sincerely, calling me young and immature in the same sentence as saying that the only reason someone supported me is because I'm female.... WOW talk about a mind blow ! Are you so intemidated by a female that doesn't back off from you right away that your willing to use that as an excuse for your lack of common sense ?
Anyways, I'm going to appologize to both you and Jodokai right now because I simply should have never played into the flame bait in the first place and at this point, it's just getting silly.
You are insulting my life and then apologising? Whatever! Am I intimidated by females? Not at all. Are you seriously messed up? Possibly! Where did you get this anti woman thing? I simply said I get sick of seeing guys on this board run to the rescue of women (Who I might add, are perfectly capable of defending themselves). That wasn't even directed at you! I think you are the one that is quite possibly unhappy with your life.

Can you tell me what game I'm thinking of? Stop pretending EQ2 has the same low-commitment levelling speed that WoW has. It's just about right for most gamers, but anyone who's going to sit down 24/7 and grind is going to crank through to max level in ANY game. The point made about EQ2 forcing you to learn your class a bit before getting all the way to the top is a good one. Maybe you should do a little research before you spout off about "bonus experience", which almost everyone thinks is a good idea when not overdone. Keep in mind MMO players pay several hundred million dollars a year to buy pre-levelled characters so they don't even have to put the time in to do it the regular way. Is bonus XP supposed to be some indication of game difficulty? Not a very good indicator. And if that's your biggest beef with EQ2 and WoW, you need to get some perspective. There are plenty of things to be critical of, bonus XP is hardly worth the time to whine about.
Wow, someone woke up in cranky land this morning.
Actually I like EQ II and WoW a lot. If you read any of my posts you'll see that. I think bonus Xp is a great thing. I was just trying to make the point that like WoW, EQ II makes this concession to the casual gamer. EQ II is not some sort of hardcore grindfest. It's almost as easy to level as WoW, in my opinion. I can hit 20 in about 25-30% more time in EQ II than it takes me in WoW. That is pretty fast compared to most games.
EQ II does have a lot more depth than WoW in a lot of respects. EQ II has better crafting, greater variety of classes, more races, more character customization, better instances. It does a ton of things better than WoW. But this whole issues about WoW being "too easy" because you can level quickly is just silly. You can level almost as fast in EQ II (at least I can, I don't know about you guys). But by all means, if you want to go on pretending that it takes 3-4x as long to hit max level in EQ II, don't let me stop you.
Peace, out.
Everyone knows WoW is an MMO with "training wheels" (Well done whoever said that first). EQ 2 is not "hardcore" by any stretch of the imagination but it has one thing that WoW does not, thats depth. Unfortunately game companies are going to cater to casual gamers because that's where the cash is. Fortunately there are still MMOs around for those of us who want a game that lasts more than a month so there will still be games like EvE, for example.
You are dead wrong about the levelling time, but you can think what you like I guess. Again, it's fairly irrelevant. I stopped watching the smurfs when I was about 8 and I certainly wouldn't pay $15.00 a month to participate in "Smurfs Online : The Return", but to each their own!

I agree, this should stop now. So I'm done!
