Thanks Cobra! You cheered me up. Posters like the one who dissed me ... they get on my nerves after a while.
Not all players belong in eq2. Frankly I'm not sure I do, either. I was just telling the thread-started to give WoW a serious look. I am, too. It's strong where EQ2 is weak (WoW has its probs, tho, too).
Again, I'm still diggin stuff in eq2 It's a big, full world. I picked up the Gnoll Mastery quest finally, and - it makes no logical sense - but it made gnoll huntin more fun somehow. Now I have a cool poleax on my wall.
But as the novelty of eq2 wears off, I can already see that I'm going to burn out on it pretty fast. WHy? No depth of tactics. We have to do a lot of fighting, and there just isn't much challenge to it. And where there is, I'm not given the variety of tools to win by finesse. I can only win by recruiting a bigger group to throw at the situation. Not good.
WoW offers a bigger variety of tactics.
BUT while Eq2 was dead I opened a free account on Anarchy Online. Dang that's still a cool game. Still looks good, and it's OLD. It was full of people, too. The thread-starter may wanna take a look at it, too. Honestly, it is FREE for a year.
