Hi all,
I played eq2 from release date up until i had a few characters in the mid 20's. Then i got bored. I felt like there was no open path for you to choose. Do x quest for these pants, do y quest for these gloves, "uh-oh, pants are no longer good to me now i've out-leveled them". Do z quest for new pants. I felt like as big as the world was there was a very narrow line you had to walk in a cerain order to level, and gain equipment. I belonged to two different guilds and was doing writs like they were going out of style, but everytime id get one or two done, three people would leave and take their writ status with them dumping our guild lvl back down. I rather enjoyed the crafting system very much but everything else seemed too pre-decided for me. Coming from eq for 5 years and having all those options it seemed like eq2 was the parent you stayed with every other weekend that wouldnt let you do much, whereas eq was the partent who let you stay out all night if you wanted. Anyway, if anyone understands my concerns from this post please let me know if there have been any improvements made. Once again i only played the first three or four months, but im looking to come back.
