I am playing EQII now. I spent a month on the progression serevers and had a good time but the nostalgia only managed to carry me so far. Last night, in a trance that could only have been engineered by the devious genious of SOE, I patched EQII and decided I would pay for a month and give it a shot after trying it originally shortly after release. Well to my pleasant surprise, when I was done patching I hit play and was sent to the character select screen. I then rolled a toon on Blackburrow, which took me forever due to the incredible customization options, and was surprised again when I was able to log right on. Neat billing system that allows me to log on after maybe a year and a half away without entering a payment.
At the time I first played, I found it rather unappealing due to the linear nature of advancing my toon to it's specialized path and the graphics were too tasking on my system. I gave up after a month.
I don't even know what all has been done, but it's an intriguing game now, even at the lowest levels, and so I'm feeling like it will be mt new thing. There must have been some big graphic thing done, because my comp runs the game beautifully now, and I haven't changed a thing.
So what I'm getting at is this: once I finally settle on a toon is there some channel that Alla regulars are joining on BB? 'Cause I want in.
