Hello everyone, I'm a former WoW player and to be honest, I'm sick of the game, nothing to do, leveling is boring and there is too many immature people for me. I might start playing EQ2 with a few friends but I need a few questions anwsered to make things more clear so I hope you can help me. I read lots of posts here but I couldnt find the anwser to everything.
As I understand it there are 24 different classes, Fighter, Scout, Mage and Priest and all the subclasses to those. How different are the subclasses from eachother? I mean, Warden and Fury for example, are they pretty much the same or are they completely different? Same with lets say Warden and Cleric (Those are not in the Druid category if the site is correct). I hope you understand what I mean.
The reason I ask this is because I'm used to having only nine classes, and every person from a specific class is almost identical to another in the same class. Which leads me to my second question:
How much can you specialize your character? Besides from the 16 races and 24 classes, how can Monk A be different from Monk B?
I read somewhere about personal and racial traits, tactics and training, what is it? Is there anywhere I can get more detailed information about this?
Same with achievements. What exactly is this? I find it similar to the talent trees in World of warcraft? Do you get points to fill in these, how?
Are there achievement calculators? Can you reset achievements? How much of the achievement tree can you fill up?
Leveling
Is there a max level? I read somewhere about level 70? How fast do you actually level, how long before you hit 70? In wow you can easily do it in 8 days in game which is in my opinion too fast, you skip all the fun parts with the lower levels and only focus on grinding night and day to hit 60.
Raids and instances
I have raided 3-4 different instances, every time its 3-6 hours straight, every week for one year now, I'm sick of them all. How does this work in EQ2? Is there a lot to choose from? From which level can you do them? Are there "smaller" things to do for lets say a five man party thats still rewarding?
And finally my last question so far:
PvP, from what I've read its a new addition to the game. I really enjoy fighting other players but I also enjoy raiding and grouping (previous question). Is there any way for me to get both? I read about server types in the sticky but it didnt really make things 100% clear.
Well, thats it. I would be really glad if someone took alittle time and helped me and I hope you dont think my questions are wierd.
Thanks
