is this mmo casual friendly?

PrinceVegeta

Well i kind of retired as a hardcore gamer and am i casual gamer now. I have work school and afterschool activities and occasionally hang out with friends. Anyways i wanted to know if Everquest 2 is casual gamer friendly. I can probably play around 5 hours on weekdays (total not each day) and like 3-5 hours on a weekend (each day) is that enough to enjoy this game?

I have given up on these mmo's that are out and doubt i will shell out the cash to buy it but ill give the trial a try. Anyways i might just head back to lineage 1 as ive seen nothing to come close to its fun factor. Autoassault is close though but i just wanted to know if EQ2 is casual friendly thats all.

  Well if you asked the Eq Devs they would say it is. This means one of two things:

1.They are lying.

2. Hearts are in the right place, so either it is or will be in the near future.

 I haven't played EQ2 since March, at that point in time, i got a sense they where attempting to balance the game with casual content (solo mobs, solo quest). Even the end game-raiding was very easy and seemed watered down/ casual.

 Although I am not a big fan of WoW, if you haven't read anything about it yet, you may want to consider it for casual friendliness.

Well, I wouldn't fuss much with an mmo...you can give the trial versions a whirl if you want, but I don't think a casual gamer would want to pay a monthly fee. If you got an Xbox, you should get TES III: Morrowind (recommended) or Fable (optional).

Well i say its casual friendly but you'll probally find yourself soloing most the time because the community is empty and horrible! Noone ever talks to eachother like :S

 

The combat changes means u can level up alot faster than before too Plus double xp is ghreat for casual gamers! It lasts forever too!

 

But will you enjoy the game if you play that little? I did and i only ever played a few hours a week with guild mates

Jade Empire is pretty darned amazing, too, and I think it's selling for $19.99 now. It's a lot shorter than Morrowind (longer than Fable, though), but it certainly was one of the more memorable single-player RPGs I've played in recent years.
