Hey, I'm a long time MMORPG'er, going back to UO and spanning alot of other games up to Age of Conan.. and that was a short lived experience. Anyways, I'm d/ling EQ2, and was wanting to get some input on the game. I played EQ1, a bit, but at the time I was an Ultima Online fan. And I just kept putting EQ2 off for some reason.
At the moment, I'm playing FFXI and sitting on various lvl 75 jobs in that game, and I'm just.. bored. WoW isn't for me, I played like right after it came out, and played on and off up to WotLK. Keywords there = on and off. I kept telling myself the game may "pick up" at some point, but in the end, I realized it just continued to suck pretty hard; fyi Alliance on Tichondrius must be the whiniest babies in any mmo I've played to date.
Anyways, between playing mmo's, I've always looked over EQ2 for some reason, but here recently I feel particularly drawn to it. I'm hoping to make a home in it for a couple of months at least, and maybe a few years. It always looked interesting, but my MMO experience goes like this..
UO, solid for years, EQ1-- after I got bored of Ultima, back to UO a bit, then to SWG to get the last bit of Pre-CU even CU but quit shortly before NGE due to people warning me it was going to suck I didn't ever try it after NGE went live I just kinda.. died a little inside and played UO a couple of more months then I started playing FFXI.. and then wow a bit, then FFXI, then wow, and FFXI and dabbled in Age of Conan a bit. I may have missed a few like F2P mmo's but those are kinda forgettable at best, and mildly greivous most of the time. Oh, and randomly played Lineage II a couple of weeks at a time, that game just failed to "hook" me like most pay to play games did. LoTRO somewhere in the mix, but I didn't stick with it long, I made it to 42 I think, before Mines of Moria came out, mostly because i was bored with FFXI back then, but I played this while playing FFXI for the most part. I love MMO's, mostly because there are great communities in them, and lots of just things to kill time doing.
Well, sorry to blow your heads off with this giant block of insanely grammatically incorrect text, but please, any input on classes, or races, or sides.. maybe what server would be good... you know, stuff newcomers ask.
TY and a side note, I don't really -need- pvp, and generally enjoy pve moreso than pvp; but enjoy both just more pve'ish.
