OK, I played the 1st EQ for about 21/2 years, and got a warrior to 54. I only play for about an hour a day, so keep that in mind. Now I have been playing WoW since it launched and have 2 chars. up to 60, plus other toons. I really like WoW, but it just does not have that EQ feel. I feel like there is no acomplishment, or social significance. So I am thinking of coming back to eq.
Now I did the free trial, and got to level 6 and all, with a ranger. I liked it, BUT it was super easy, and super fast. Eevn faster than leveling to 6 in WoW which is saying something. Now if it like that only for the first 10 levels fine, but the game can not all be like that. I do not need a huge challenge, but it has to get more complicated and......slow i guess. The ranger class looks very cool to me, and EQ is so much better with it's 30 some classes comparied to WoW's 9.
Ok to wrap up this is longer than expected. Just 5 main questions.
1. Does the game slow down, and get more stratagy oriantated.
2. I LOVE WoW for the solo game, as it fits my schedule perfect. Can you solo to 60 in EQ, and when wanting better items or dungen raids then group? (as in WoW)
3. How is the down-time. Thats is why I left EQ in the first place, and my MAIN concern. In WoW food and water actualy make your hp/mp come back quicker is that also the case in EQ2.
4. What is with all the dungens, it seems cool if there is allot, which means allot to do.
5. How is the end-game. People bash WoW's which I like, but I could use more for sure.
I have a bunch more questions, but if these get answered I will ask the others. Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to answer this.
