Planetside one of the most addicting games i've ever played.
My build: Sapphire Radeon HD 4850, Asus P5GC-MX/1333 Motherboard, 4gb G.SKILL DDR2 667MHz RAM, Core 2 Duo e7200 CPU, 250gb Western Digital SATA Harddrive, Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit.
Planetside is dying and there lead Developer just quit this month.. Which makes for the 3rd Dev in the last year and the second Lead developer to go, the CM manager also quit this year...The main man Smokejumper was the fist to go and he said on the Markovforums that he was pressured by SOE into realeasing the unfinished Expansion that many disliked and aslo pressured by SOE to release the hated BFR's on the community so rather then see something he loved get ruined while he was there he left.
Sounds like the same thing that they did in EQ1. And SWG, well that was just a mess and continues to be one to this day.

You spread to an area, and you multiply, and you multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.-Mr.Smith
Get a new computer. EQ2 kicks ass on anything out right now. The combat revamp upset all the sucky players so you know it rocks. Subscriber numbers are at an all time high of 450k+ and the new expansion added even more content. Slowly but surely people are upgrading their machines and you can see it in the attitude swing in the forums: people who used to say it sucked are now playing it because it's the best game in town.
Funny how people are, myself included. When you load a game up and your computer sucks, the entire experience is kind of jaded by the computers performance. People will say the UI is slow and unresponsive, that the game is laggy, the graphics look plasticy etc etc when the only real problem is their computer sucks.
Get a high end Video card with 256mb ram, At least 1 gig stick of ram and a processor that clocks in at 1.9 mhz minimum and there is really no other choice for a fantasy MMORPG. Get the station pass and you can enjoy SWG, whose graphics are equally amazing with the right system, Planetside and Everquest the granddaddy of all 3d MMORPG's. If you're a gamer it's really the way togo. All those games are there for you to play, but I doubt you will want to log out of EQ2, it's just so dialed in now unless you don't want a challenging game. In that case I suggest WoW.
If I HAD to pick one (gun to my head kind of thing) I would pick SWG. Its fun for 2 weeks, till you max out your char. Then theres really nothing to do, unless you want to grind for months to be Jedi. And TBH, I never wanted to be a Jedi anyway.
Not much left for a Non-Jedi in that game anyway, except hunting Jedi, which gets boring. Most of them are idiots, and the fights are boring, and those that are really skilled, are unkillible by a Bounty Hunter. Nothing like a 2-3 hour fights, till one of you get tired of it and run.
You can tell the die hard EQ2 fans when they still suggest EQ2 even when the OP says excluding it.

Sony's best MMO? The closest thing would be Infantry. This game just kicked so much ass before it became p2p.
Hmmm? None?

EverQuest 2
It has changed A LOT since release and I'm having a lot of fun with it.
