Well as some might have seen in a couple of posts I was debateing rather to get this game or not. Well a friend offered to take over my old EQ1 account (won't go into details), and I seen EQ2 on sale at ebgames for $35. So anybody interested in eq2 check with your local EB, don't think it is cheaper anywhere else.
Anyways from what I have played it seems fun, of course most of people's complaints don't start till 20+. I got a 6 half elf mage on the Grobb server. Alot of things I like about this better then eq1, but alot of things I don't like. I don't like the process you go through when you die. As a newbie the exp debt after finding your shard isn't nothing bad, but I am sure at higher levels it will cause you to lose ALOT of exp. Also I understand once you revive you can't be rezzed? I can see sitting in front of your PC stareing at your body waiting 20 and 30 minutes for a rez while in a raid or what not, no that much fun IMO.
Performance wise it seems to run fine on my geforce 3. I went ahead and ordered another card though, Got one of those 5600FX cards. I know alot of people hate the FX cards, but I can't bring myself to buy these $180 and up cards. I checked the stats compared to my current card and it seems at least 33% better or more in every aspect. I figure it should speed it up a decent amount. Also my friend wants a really cheap card that will run eq2 and I can sell him mine for like $25 or somethign and get him into the game (really the main reason I am doing this). Don't think his current 8 meg card will cut it for eq2 lol.
Anyways don't mean to ramble on.
