Sorry about this post first, I know that games like this get newb posts about people wanting to find out more about the game daily. I know in WoW forums thats very often the case. So again to any 1 this might **** off I'm sorry.
secondly, I would like to know more about this game, First off let me let all of you know I am a mature player who has a a lot of experience with mmorpg's I played FFXI for over 3 years. (Got Dragoon to 75, WHM 75 And Warrior 75 All others 37) I have also played World of warcraft the last year and a half. (70 Druid 70 paladin 60 priest 60 hunter) And lastly I played PSU and still do (Newman 60 ((Guntecher 9)). The reason I want to try out EQII is rather silly. I played Champions of Norrath with my cousin in 2 players and liked it. Also my friend told me about it and for some odd reason I guess it sparked my interest. So here are my most important questions I have about this game.
#1 How is the community?: By this I mean are there rumor's that an EQIII Will come out soon (within 6-8 months) so than most of the community would leave? Or is the community strong population still and no sign of weakness yet such as in WoW?
#2 In PSU the major problem has always been hacking, Room glitches and parter machine bombing. (lowering your crafting skill to zero) It took 5 months for SEGA to fix this problem and we lost over 80% of our community on that. (PSU on pc/ps2 Servers is now sitting at 800-900 total accounts ((TOPS)). So then Is there hacking going on on EQII Well Hacking that could impact the game in a great deal such as ruin the economy, or directly impact a player's character in some way?
#3 How is the game built like, Is it a Hard core gamer's MMORPG Where only the strong obsessive players survive and get to higher levels (Such as in FFXI where at times you had to farm 3-4 months for a peace of gear) Or is it more like PSU Where you Just log in when ever you want and can do missions with any 1 regardless of level?
#4 Is there a priest/White mage type class on this game ((love playing healers)) ^^
And lastly #5 Is there a pre pay card system for this game or do you need a credit card to pay for it, Also how much is the monthly fee and is the game updated regularly. ((Is an expansion on the way?))
