Hello
This is for people who have experience in both Everquest I and II.
I know this is an EQ2 board so asking between EQ1 or EQ2 on a EQ2 board may sound silly, but I had a dilemma that was either post in EQ1 board or here :\ anyways please carry on reading....
I'm on the look out for a new MMO, as I've played FFXI and I've played World of Warcraft and in all honestly the WoW community stinks (please no WoW vs EQ etc debate, I'm not here for that). So I've been searching around for a new MMO for me to play. Everquest I and Everquest II have tickled my fancy so I went out and tried both trials that are available. After playing both for awhile, I found they were both interesting. Though I have to say I was 'fighting' with the camera in EQ1 as I couldn't get it to chase like in EQ2 or WoW, so that was disappointing (though that's probably down to me not knowing how to set it up hehe). Plus the graphics weren't even close to EQ2's, but that didn't put me off as EQ1 could blow EQ2 out of the water and this is exactly why I'm here. EQ2 had some alot of lag unlike WoW, FFXI or EQ1.
Could you please give me your reason on which verion of Everquest I should play. EQ1 seems to have more content with all the expansion packs, but long term gameplay wise it may not be as good as EQ2. EQ1 may have a better community than EQ2, again this I do not know. I'm not a hardcore MMO player, so one might suit me better than the other. So here I am asking you EQ vets on which version I should play. As said, please give your reasons, but at the same time, please remember I'm not an Everquest player so using Everquest jargon will go straight over my head!
I hope to hear a helpful and constructive answer from someone to my query.
Thank you very much :D
