Kinda makes sense. If you enjoy the game, that's all that matters, right?
However, being a fan of mmorpgs in general, and eager to try more of them, I like to get to know more about who makes them and how they go about handling the game once it's released. It can have a great impact on how you enjoy the game.
So I will say that I am happy with SOE, although I no longer play EQII. It is my favorite mmorpg, still.
I have not found yet any equivalent today in terms of quality, fun, beautifulness. h eq2.
Eq2 is THE actual great game.
Wow is graphically outdated as well as all the manga style games (like Gw) which are all clone each others with no character customisation (they are not true RPG, they are MMOG that 's all) and too simplistics graphics.
I used to play EQ. I have been on EQ2 since the beginning. I also played WoW. I cancelled WoW and am very happy with all the improvements made to EQ2. And you know what? They are are always making it better. I'll stop playing EQ2 when it goes offline permanently... that should be in about 39 years from now. That should be when EQ3 starts up.
This thread should have a Sticky, no question about it, EQ2 is by far one of the best Fantasy games on the MMO market to date, and it was created and developed and run by SOE. Bring it on down now.
Damn byotch dat aint no friggn moon fool, dat be a friggn space station byotch.
Originally posted by PlanoMM alot more SoE lovers than what ppl would lead u to believe, eh? to read some of these threads, ud think that no1 likes SoE at all. guess this proves that wrong, eh? p.s. i bet this gets some replies!! lol.
lol just because this is mmorpg.com doesnt mean that 100% of people who play mmo's go here even ones that tried soe games like swg planetside eq eq 1.5 eq2 the matrix online and i think theres one more i cant think of the name hehe. granted soe doesnt do well in customer service but it does a GREAT GRADE A server maintmence service soe games tend to have alot less server crashes then eve wow liineage 2 does eve being the worst then lineage 2 then wow
EQ2 is a very good game, best in overall experience IMO, but, when i say best it doesn't mean that the game is flawless, actually, i feel that no MMO on the market deserves its money, and as i want to play an MMO i chose EQ2 cause i feel it's the best, SOE is doing a good job, but NOT the best job sadly, they can do much better, and can make much better offers, but still, it's better than most companies, and that's a plus, so to sum it up ... no MMO deserves its money currently (the alive ones that is), EQ2 is the best MMO out there now and SOE is better than most companies, so i kind of like SOE!
The 'no MMO deserves its money' sentence was debated on some forums, some think (including me) that MMOs shouldn't be based on a monthly sub anymore, and when i mean 'doesn't deserve its money i mean the monthly sub, not the initial payment., but that's OT anyway.
note: PlanoMM, ur replies r mature IMO, especially when u said that one should give respect to others first until they prove otherwise, well, it's logical really and a known principal, but who applies it?! some think everyone should work their a$$es off trying to please them, not knowing that they don't even deserve to be spoken to, anyway don't let others annoy u or get on ur nerves, just give them the 'ignore' sign .
btw, if anyone thinks there's a better MMO out there plz tell me, i would appreciate it, will try it and then say my opinion.

Not currently playing any SOE games but I have tried them all and I really thought that SOE isn't nearly as bad as they are made out to be. The only real issue I ever had was with how sucky Station Exchange was, but I digress.

Not another one that thinks MMO's shouldn't cost a monthly fee. That argument is usually used by the under 20 crowd that have played too much Guild Wars and don't realize that there's a reason for those fees.
I happen to like the fee. I understand what it goes to pay for. Life costs money and you have to pay those people for everything they do. Guild Wars (and some other low end MMO's) are destroying it for everyone. They aren't better games, they're just cheaper.
In fact, if EQ2 ever turned to "no monthly fee", that's probably the only reason I'd quit playing because it would turn into a kiddie playground.
EQ2 is the best game out there for a reason and it definately isn't because it's a free subcription.
Please watch ur tone if u don't mind, i don't believe in 'free' MMOs to the word, but what i feel is that those games rn't that good to deserve 15$ per month, as i said EQ2 is the best on the market, BUT, that doesn't mean it's a great game, there's a huge difference, maintaining servers costs a fortune, making new content and fixing bugs costs a fortune too, but we see this in a VERY slow and boring pace, simple things don't get fixed quick, and i mean REAL simple things, like what someone stated before ... empty areas in large zones, it's not hard at all to move some mobs to that area, but i'm satisfied with this game, cause there's nothing better that's all, and SOE is doing a good job and being ahead of other companies in that sense.
I said it on another thread, maybe 15$ is nothing to US people, but it's something here, maybe that's y i feel it's too much, if that's the case then just consider that this my opinion and leave it at that, everyone is entitled to his own opinion, just don't create tension in this conversation plz, i simply stated y i liked SOE, and added a side note about y i think all MMOs r not worth the monthly fee despite of that.
note: what's with the 'it would turn into a kiddie playground', do u mean GW too or just EQ2 if it turned a 'no monthly' game, cause again this is not a cool thing to say, Guild Wars is a very respectable game and has good and bad in its community, same thing goes for any online game, so r u trying to turn this into a GW flaming thread?
i won't continue this conversation any longer, this is too OT, and besides, it has been discussed dizzillion times before, same goes for the EQ2 vs WoW, it's becoming boring.

i agree, os008. well said. Oo and tyvm for what u said.
furthermore, GW is one of the top online games out. graphicly, its dazzling. soundwise, likewise. updated regularly. and incredibly popular with the entire playerbase, not just the "kiddies". the only, and i stress, only reason i dont play it now is the fact that it is basicly a single player game on a server. the only time it could b taken as a true MMO is in the towns. once u leave the town, ur in ur own lil instance. thats me only quam. i play online games to make friends while lvling/training/questing/(fill in the blank). in GW u can only make ur friends by dancing with them in the towns. if u think im kidding, go to one of the towns, ull see, some ppl in that game wont party with u unless u dance with them for 30 mins solid.
i look at that game and see that the playerbase gets regular monthly updates and great graphics and such, and wonder y i should have to pay SoE to do the same damn thing to this game. but such is the way of the world. so i digress. and like os008 said, EQII is the best out of the choices. thats y im willing to pay it.
I am a NGE victim. I lost all my professions, Creature Handler, Pikeman, Scout. There all went into nirvana. I am not a fast action kid anymore, so the idea of acceleration of SWG wasnt my kind.
Still, my opion is, SOE is a good gaming company. No MMO game only had ups and positive decisions. I think SWG needed a change to have a future, and I accepted the change. Now, I overcame my gripes and after being quite angry once I made my peace with SWG.
EQ2 is quite a good MMO. So if I take EQ2 and SWG as the two examples I know I can say this: I played MANY MMOs, but those two gave me more and better times I had in ANY other MMO ever before or after. Nothing is perfect, but SWG and EQ2 just have the right mix for everyone and created worlds and moments to remember. Its likely a strange way to express liking: SWG and EQ2 had more problems then every other MMO had game!
SOE really WORKS with their games, unlike Blizzard, who more or less made it and left it as it was, no changes, no real new things. And from what I see the addon Burning Crusade will only be more of the same.
The addons Jump to Lightspeed was a REAL novelty into an existing MMO! The entire big crafting, housing and city-building SWG has is still unparalleled! The implementation of a social system with entertainers is something I value in SWG greatly - and totally miss as life-giving element in any other MMO.
The idea to spice the game with small, regular addons, like the adventure packs, so there is often something new, and bringing the world of EQ2 forward with them, changing the world, also with events.
I really have much open to wish from those 2 SOE games, but dammit, they offered SO MUCH good things and I had many years of good times in those two worlds. Yes, despite all gripes I had, SOE did a lot of things good.
