On the record, I am not hoping to disuade anyone from playing, nay fully enjoying EQ2. Much in the way I plan to. Aside from the two problems that I do have with the game that are the context of my original post, I have been at great odds to find fault or rancor with any other aspect of the game. From what I have seen EQ2 look quite intriguing. THe graphics look phenominal, I love the idea about the vast amount of quests, the voice-over work is indeed clever, etc., etc., etc,. It is not my charge or intent to guide anyone away from the game, toward another as I have no real interest in any other game at the moment save possibly Vanguard. And as for WoW, well I know nothing about it, I am sure it is a good enough game but I just have no interest in it.
I like to be a lone ranger... 1 that usually hunts alone, but 1 with a lot of friends. And sometimes my lone ranger groups with some friends. She has a lot of friends, and likes to talk a lot in towns, but for hunting she prefer to be alone.
I like to play the lone girl. I did this in Ultima Online, and i had a lot of friends. I met a lot of ppl when I did my solo hunts. Hunting solo doesn't mean that I don't speak to other ppl In a singel player game i won't meet with other ppl. Why do so many ppl think that if you like to solo, that you don't want to talk to ppl?? I love to meet up with ppl, talk with them and hunt sometimes together. Offcourse you get the best out of a game like EQ2 if you party, but their should be a way so you can hunt decent alone in a mmoRPg...
This is just a reply to the ppl in this topic who ask "why hunting solo in a MMOrpg?" Well i like to RP... I like to meet ppl too, that i Hunt solo doesn't mean I Play this kind of games solo
Sorry that i was off-topic...
Can't say anything about EQ2, never played it ^.^ I hope it will be a good game. But like in all MMORPGs it probably will be the community who makes or brakes the game... Every game will be boring after a while, it is the community that makes you stay, well that is my opinion offcourse ^.^
Great insight lynxie. I have a whole new view of soloers now. However, my point is that soloing should never equal the amount of exp you gain from groups otherwise everyone would solo and it defeats the whole goal of the EQ2 team to have adventureers? group together and party. It was stated repeatedly by EQ2 devs that this game is centered around PVE and around 6 member parties. With that said they made soloing less exp. Now I think there is a decent relationship between the amount of group exp vs. solo exp. To me and many other EQ fans this is the perfect relationship. If it doesn't seem to float your boat maybe EQ2 isn't the game for you and many others. I hear WoW is an awesome game which is more solo friendly and alot easier to lvl.
I hope my vulgar language didn't affend anyone.(Besides Vineyard who is a moron) But the fact is this. There is a thin line between hating on a game and positive criticizing. On the one hand we have people saying, "This game sucks. Graphics suck, gameplay sucks, no content, worst game EVER, BLAH BLAH BLAH" For those people I say find a different game. Obviously your dispassion for this game means you need to play a different one. But I encourage and compliment all those players who say, "Soloing is way imbalanced and should fix it by doing such and such. They should make combat more challenging by doing this and this." You can clearly read the tone difference between the haters and the positive criticizing. The only reason why us EQ "fanbois" are jumping back is because I see these HYPOCRITES saying all these negative things about the game and are the same people I'm going to see ingame playing EQ2. Because in fact many people are reading these forums trying to decide if they want to play EQ2, WoW or some other game. How can you CONTINUE playing EQ2 after release and then say all these negative things in a bad way and have other people not play it. If you tested the BETA and you gave your negative opinion that is fine. Now move on and find a different game that suits your preferance. If I were to dislike some imbalance to the game I would bring it up to the community such as this and say, "I think this is wrong. Do you guys agree?" Maybe what I dislike EVERYONE else enjoys. If on the other hand everyone agrees we can positively take it to the devs and if the majority says soloing is imbalanced then of course it will be fixed. It is after all still the BETA!
Now this part is to Vineyard. Yes I'm not going to deny your vocabulary is phenominal. Your understanding of the English literature is and will always surpass mine. Now your insult to me is personal and I say this, you need to wake up from this conceded and self centered world. I repeat this is a forum! NOT AN ESSAY PAPER! Half the people here don't even know what your talking about myself included! Shakespear? Who gives a F***?! No one here talks like that but you. How I speak is normal and you can take a poll who speaks "proper" because infact my English is "proper" for this forum while you try to give yourself an orgasm acting like you're this genius. Apparently you are dumber than I thought. AZZ is a purposely misspelled word. I was hoping you were smart enough to infer the word that I meant. I just couldn't spell it because my post would be deleted. I guess I was wrong. I guess how I talk and how EVERYONE else talks is just so inferior to your high intelect. I just have one question. Does your neck hurt from that big head of yours? You insult my intelligence but I'm sorry were not all English teachers here. Exactly how far is that "proper" English gonna take you?Now if you want to talk about computer engineering I can tell you anything you need to know about circuits, binary numbers, gates, etc. I'm getting my "ghetto education" from Texas A&M. What about you? When I grow up I'll be sure to send my kids to your English class! F***ING MORON!
My proper english wont take me anywhere as I do not need it to. I am one of the top 100 architects/interior designers in the nation. I have a well established business that has projects here in the states and abroad. My command of the english langauge is a result of culture. And if you want to play up education. I have a Bachelors in Psychology, a Bachelors in Interior Design and a Bachelors in Architecture working now on my Masters. I have studied at top rank institutions both here, Italy and Germany. So please put your Texas A&M snot rag away. I am not impressed. And before it comes up I could give a damn about what you believe concerning what I say. And dont bother replying to this as I have no intend on checking this thread again. Partialy because yes your intellect is inferior to mine. I will not debate with a would be professional computer geek since you are well beneath me boy.

I'm not trying to impress you by saying I go to Texas A&M. Obviously it's not a top notch school to brag about in the first place. You just asked where I got my "ghetto education" from and how everyone is so inferior to you. You know what I, and everyone else, see when I read your post above? BS BS BS BS BS and BS. You're obviously a 15 year old boy who thinks he's so smart. I mean seriously who calls someone else "son" and the whole "whose your daddy". I think I did that also when I was FIFTEEN!!! I have a psychology question for you. What do they call little 15 year olds who gets satisfaction by saying everyone else is stupid and inferior and thinking themselves as geniuses? And you know what? You will come back and check on this forum. Maybe you won't reply because you know you're a beaten dog with his tail tucked but you will come back and read this. I feel sorry for you. I truely do. I mean what could have happened to you to make you be this way? Were you not raised properly? I'm gonna post this again so everyone can see how self-centered and conceded you are:

You want me to speak english Namja? I hate to tell you this son but I am speaking proper english. I guess that ghetto education you got didnt teach it.And by saying that you want to know 95% that you can kill something just proves that you are fully a part of the culled masses. And what prey tell is an AZZ? Is this some form of a fraudulant vernaculer? Would your need to referance this way be in the arena of Freudian or rather Jungian field? Perhaps it is an attempt at Nichomechian ethics or by chance could it be a sad flailing toward a Macheavellian Daulist cathardic revolution? "Why oh why should I endeavor to suffer these lesser mortals of weaker intellect?". Sorry Namja, that is Shakespear. Let me go find a Jeff Foxworthy quote that you might, big might, be able to understand.
And I also wanted to note how hilarious this is when you try to quote Shakespeare but can't even spell his name. Of course your response would be, "Oh it was a typo!!!!" LMAO!

Proof-read your statements of arrogance please. There are grammatical mistakes, and one or two spelling mistakes, throughout that paragraph. For instance, you use the word both when talking about three places. Both is limited to two instances. Also, how can you be one of the top 100 architects/interior designers in the nation when you are still working on getting your masters. Don't make stuff up to try and one up a person on the internet.
anyway, forums are a magnet for whiners. they get bored or tore up by something and run to the forums to whine. You may not even hear from the people who love it.

Aye, you're absolutely right about that. The people that really love the game probably don't take a break to report just how much they like it.
in the stress test for WoW I only visited the forums when the game was down and posted about how great the game was and how much fun I was having. I never complained although I did ridicule some of the whiners.
I rarely take sides on anything of this nature, but...
I am one of those "Lone Wol[ves]," I enjoy the aspect of the game about the ability to do my adverturing around on my own without relying on others. I love meeting new people, which happens less often when you are in a group. I think you learn more when you are alone one-on-one with a single monster than taking a huge war party and utterly destroy everything in their path.
I am a very self-motivated roleplayer, in regards to "leveling up." I play whenever possible making myself stronger, many people do not share my entusiasm for powering up my characters and making them their own individual person. I think a MMORPG should be made for both solo-adventuring and party-adverturing.

It is a MMORPG... True..., but RP = Role playing, right?
example:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I like to be a lone ranger... 1 that usually hunts alone, but 1 with a lot of friends. And sometimes my lone ranger groups with some friends.
She has a lot of friends, and likes to talk a lot in towns, but for hunting she prefer to be alone.

*leans back, thinking of all the flames he got for posting in general forums that he liked WoW, laughs, smiles and and sits up*
well it is open beta, hope they fix it so the EQ2 fans will be pleased!
maybe you could also suggest they try a different form of air trans other than griffins. try something different.
WOW....
And no that isn't an advertisement for World of Warcraft.
Just, WOW....if ever my girlfriend accuses me of being childish, I can show her this forum and just wait for her apology.
Thanks guys!
