one last hought: im looking forward to Age of Conan but there are still some things that rock on eq2:

1) Froglocks, Rats, Kerras etc

2) eq2pvp fame/title system

3) you have to get your spells/CAs = rewards hard work, not easy shit like in wow etc

j3rry

HAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAH you complain about the grind and devs not listening? 2 months of raiding in wow and you'll be back. I just tried eq2 and the depth and scope is miles ahead of warcraft

Welcome to EQ2 j3rry! Hope you enjoy your stay.
One thing to note as your playing try not to in ooc or in a group
start blabbing on and on about how you use too play WoW..
We dont fucking care.
Nothing more annoying than being in a noob group and having someone
go on an on about how they use too play WoW,like they found jesus
or something.
Both games have there good and bad.And no one ingame really mentions WoW anymore,that ship has sailed along time ago.

Cuz

Care to ellaborate?

I have to agree with him. WoW's raiding was well scripted but I was never able to stick with it.

I've never played SWG personally.

As far as Everquest is concerned though I can say the following. Keep in mind though, this is my opinion so argue all you like with what I say, it won't change my views.


Sony Online Entertainment's problem is they don't listen to what their consumer's want....they assume. They don't take feedback seriously either. When Kingdom of Sky came out, do you remember the part of the trailer that showed Deathtoll? If you watched it closely, the developers were one shotting the mobs in there. They came to the conclusion that the NPC mechanics were working properly.....from One shotting epic mobs.

Thats just one small example but there is such a huge list of what they have done wrong and the history behind their failure is enough to show anyone that the company does not know how to properly run themselves. At this point, they seem like a Brand new company, Fresh on the Market without a fucking clue. But I can't give them that much credit, most start up companies try, very hard, to learn from their mistakes.

I find this quote rather comical with the current topic....

Subscription cancelled, Game Over.

A lot of people on this thread have pretty much summed up my feelings about the current EQ2. I was already thinking of quitting because of Ruins of Kunark, an expansion that many see to be EQ2's final nail in the coffin after a long line of changes that have effectively dumbed down the game. And added to that, the death of grouping in RoK; FFS about half a dozen T8 groups/instances compared to the 15-20 in T7. Ah not to worry though, in place of grouping we get handed dozens of mind-numbingly boring solo quests that can be done while half asleep. How is that fun? Well for some it might be but for me it is worse than shit.

I'm now totally convinced that this game's best days are behind it.

I started playing this game because I enjoy socialising with others, chatting, grouping, having a laugh and being part of an online community that exists outside of the game (hence why I wrote so many articles for EQ2i). When I first started, the actual process of grouping was fun (scarecrows in Antonica and Giants/Griffons in TS anyone?) For me, it wasn't about rushing like crazy to get to the top level, it was about learning how to play my class the best I could with other people; that's why I rolled healers. Fast forward back to EQ2 post-Rok...Solo questing my templar from 70 to 80 in RoK was about as much fun as taking a cheese grater to my dick; totally boring and depressing and not at all like the EQ2 social experience I once enjoyed.

And the total arrogance and contempt that Fireflyte showed towards plate/chain healers is yet another example of SoE's general disgusting attitude. Want quest rewards? No problem so long as you don't mind running round in fucking leather. Fuck you Fireflyte

If I want to play a solo rpg, I play Oblivion, which handles solo so much better and doesn't cost me a monthly subscription fee. I am sorry but EQ2 just does not cut the mustard anymore.

SoE - you are a bunch of fucking morons.

so many people agree with your post its not funny. they taken out all the social elements to the game. its a shame that alot of people build up friends all over the world only to have it squashed by soe. its a shame that they see it as a cash cow nothing more but i guess its is a buissness not a night club so i can see why they dont care much about the social bit of the game, but the people ie us who pay the game would say other wise, just need a right balance in the game. atm its solo and you dont have to see a single person if you dont want to in rok, which is a shame.

who knows they may pull something out this year that will turn the game around, get new devs in etc (be nice)

Cuz

I just wish he's elaborate on "the depth and scope is miles ahead of warcraft", because I suspect he's talking out of his ass.
