Winter, congratulations on your exclusive. If it had to go somewhere, I'm very happy they gave this to an actual fansite versus a network site. I'm sure there will be plenty of hate directed your way despite the fact you did nothing more than work with what you were given but you did well.

SOE has an odd way of doing damage control.

So first we have someone so upbeat and happy happy joy joy doing a preview/review/fan-fic on a zone with the word "HATE" in it, and next we have Rothgars retarded poll asking what classes the devs should roll on test.

You gotta know something is up when people as casual as myslef and my friends are starting to question weather we will still bother to play EQ2 when the next expansion hits.

No need to be like that. Most people here aren't trippin on that. Way to bait people out and make folks here seem even more unreasonable than they already can be.

EQ2players is nigh useless and the other fansites just aren't really making the cut. Instead of pointing out all of the faults here, why can't you strengthen the people you actually support?

Cynic, how would you say EQ2's solo gameplay compares to something like, say, Elder Scrolls 3?

As I stated, I have nothing against Winter, and hold no grudge against her of any kind in this matter.

What I am is torn between anger over the sheer lack of business judgment and unmistakable insult expressed toward me and this community by this choice, and the sheer evil comedy represented by that choice. I cannot imagine how "fuck you" toward me and this community could have been expressed more clearly in this situation by SOE.

Havent palyed it as I dont own a 360 so I cant offer anything on Elder Scrolls 3.

All I can offer on soloing is based on what Ive done in ROK. Some of the soloing in RoK is a fucking Joke ie:

You say "HAIL NPC"

NPC says "DAMN IT! dude if I give you this fabled item will you go away?"

You say "Yes, and give me 50p"


I can say that Ive been playing since week 3 of live and have done PUGS almost the whole time. I dont really care for soloing in an MMO as I feel it defeats part of the purpose. But I can say I think having close to NO group content in RoK is shitty as all hell. I was hoping that Epics would be like Claymore style. ~30 quests that will go up in challenge and take a while. Took me 4 days to get my fabled epic.... When I compleated Claymore I felt like accomplished something. When I got my epic I felt like I had a new weapon to buy an adornment for.

I can see the same issues with loot from solo quests/heroic instanes, I can offer a really good fix for arrows (how bout no level attaced at all? if ya cant get math to work get rid of the fucking equation). TO Hit rates in raids I understand is all fuked and while I dont see it only doing heroic instances, since it is all the same equations I too will be/am being fucked by it in some way just not as drasticly.

I used to really really like this game, but with whats currently going on at SOE even the part of the game I play is lossing its appeal to me.

*tilts head*

I'm not sure I understand this. I'm not talking to most people, but referring to the 3 or 4 posters who were insulting Winter earlier in the thread. And I'm not sure how much more supportive I can be by stating I'm glad they gave this to a fansite instead of a network. I think it was a great job considering Winters available resources.

If it wasn't going to come here, where should it have gone?
