Achievers realise that killers as a concept are necessary in order to make achievement meaningful and worthwhile (there being no way to "lose" the game if any fool can "win" just by plodding slowly unchallenged). -bartle

I haven't been following this much, even though I played EQ for 4 years
I've been following the WoW developement instead.
However, If I have the machine to run this thing I may be tempted to try it ... maybe
Very Impressive video

Yeah, I've seen most of the video, but alway good to see new info/screenshots/video of EQ2. Atleast some of it was new to me.
And I'm sure they didn't completly stop production on the game just to make that video.

I have never been this excited about any game, ever, and that's saying something since I've been playing computer games since... well since Pong came out LOL.
Did I preorder? Oh yeah.
The environments look quite impressive, however, there seems to be an awful lot of "plastic" and "shiny" stuff... like character skin, which looks very plastic and not realistic at all.
Beautiful? yes.
If this is any indication that there are one-hit kills in the game (especially aoe), count me out.

shhh... you can't ruin the hype by inquiring about gameplay!
Also notice for all the graphics updates how little the compbat looks different from EQ currently. Yes, they have flashy(er) sell effects, but the melee still looks as bad as it ever was.
I'm sure all that will be worked out by release, this is VI we're talking about, they don't make mistakes.

Goddammit, I can't help it, I'm excited about EQ2 now! I need it now! The dragon fight at the end was awesome, Freeport was awesome, it's just awesome!

If you actually watched the E3 videos you'd hear somebody commentating that the dragon was well over the players levels. They were merely showing the dragon for the crowd to see.

WOW, this is what I've been wanting to see. A significant amout of in-game footage at lower than max resolution and it still looks stunning!
This far better than the screenshots make it look (and they make it look good).
As for 1 hit kills, those are in any game if as a low level you wander into the wrong areas
Beautiful? yes.

It was a dragon, it SHOULD wipe the floor with a party of 6 adventurers. I think I actually remember (3+years ago so memories little foggy) being 1 or at the very least 2 shotted by both dragons in EQ.
WOW, and I certainly don't mean World of Warcraft. That looked amazing. I hadn't really even been giving EQ2 a "maybe" for future playability for me, but the more I see and read, the more I can't wait. I figure even if I quit 3 months in when I get tired of the level grind, that's 3 months of very beautiful, immersive, quest/storyline driven fun.
That was awsome. It gives a great look at the game. When they were doing the tutorial... The ocean was beautifull, Towns were awsome... cant wait to go to freeport, The Dragon Fight was awsome... I am way more excited about this game than i was before. I hope i get Beta.

Movie gave me chills, cannot wait till this game comes out, so excited.
Loved the tutorial, watching the boat crash along the waves, really sweet.
Playing - CoH and EQ
Waiting On - EQ2, WoW, and GW
Let Go of My Eggo Bitch!
I'm not sure about you guys, but I don't really like it. Basically because of the cheesy lines and the "say something and then point at it 5 seconds later" thing that I see.
But the graphics are good, I'll have to give it to them for that.
Sadly, the dragon doesn't amuse me. For some reason, I'm guessing EQII looks turn-based.
