So Tarv, how do you like EQ2?
I thoink it's pretty good atually.
There are a couple of areas where i think they dropped the ball but far less area than EQ1.
They managed to marginalise the EQ sellers in all bar 1 area <just sticking to topic.> and that is tradeskills, if they had not done the interdependancy people would have just done multiple tradeskills and that would avoid people charging insane prices for the intermediate items like Ink.
the combat system is fun, the tradeskill mechanics are fantastic and are a briliant idea.
Soloing is possible for all classes pre 20
Grouping is dynamic and tactics are developing in such a way that you can tell a good player from a zerger, this shows that it is a good game.
I like the class system apart from the artisan part, i like the dual city idea even though i didn't think i would, i haven't used my house very much and see little benefit from improving it. Certainly i cannot see any tangable impact on gameplay.
The Instancing of Xp zones is more than welcome and makes up for the bad lag i get in the city zones esp in the big Qeynos zone.
All in All a positive start, i think people have taken me for a PP seller in this thread because i have tried to inject a little bit of reality into the arguement rather than mindless flaming of both those selling and buying.
I have neither bought any Pp or sold any and i do not advocate doing so, it does not however stop me from understanding the reasons why people do or the motivation behind SoE's lack of action on the subject.
thanks for asking Jakstrw
