Just a thought....How long will it take for all the lvl 50-60 noobs to show up like they did in EQ1 sticking thier stuff in yer face demanding INSPECT ME and then decideing to start a new char and running around panhandleing all day and generally being a pain in the *** and gettin groups in the planes whiped cuase they hadnt a clue about playing since they bought thier account on ebay from someone that had nothing better to do with thier money than buy a crap load of accounts and PL chars to resell therfore frackin the origninal EQ up for the serious players who were dedicated to the game and its intent.
Am i gonna be in EQ2? hell no since eq1 was fried every time I hear EQ my tummy turns I just decided to post this ause I had to tell my kid NOWAY when i seen em reading these froms.
Sony has no idea how many potential EQ2 players(payers) they have lost becuase of thier lack of control on eq1 with not prosecuting resales and allowing 11YO; who have seemed to do do nothing but learn to curse more then they would have in school and develop a crap attitude like adults have earned, to play on a PS2.
With parental supervision my hind side
??? what ya think prosicution is harsh? If ya break ya law ya should be prepared to pay the penalty.
I sound bitter? yer dammed right I am. I had 5 accounts mine my wifes and one for each of my kids and they NEVER played when one of us wasnt there. the clincher for me was when what I found out was a 14 YO told me to suck his **** and I heard my youngist reading outload something a growen man was saying to her. Yea this dude turned out to be 34YO talking to a 13YO girl like she was his ***** and asking her all sorts of sexual questions.
EQ??? FU

you guys are arguing for no reason so shut up and talk about the game itself

I really don't give a damn about graphics. I installed Luclin and was able to play for a WEEK befor my computer's brain was literally wiped out, AND I just got a new one with 60 gig hard drive and pentium 4. And you know I don't think anyone gives a **************** about graphicas as long as they aren't pac-man eating little prozacs well being chased by the three stooges.


Thank you

Like many other role playing characters I find it very hard to enjoy this game to the fullest cause of winers and beggers! I think the problem is that EQ players shouldn't try to tweak there chars cause that gets rid of the whole point of the game, the game was designed so that you should get into your char. sort of like a DD game but not as involved. Why do you want to be so Uber as to where nothing posess a threat to you?

I enjoy playing and am interested in EQII just for the fact that the first one was a good ideal but was runed by char. tweaking other char. No, I have never excepted any hand me downs or anything. If you want it why don't you wait till your are a lvl to obtain it, I find it very anonying when someone sends me a tell asking for money they go straight to my ignore list!

But for the most part I like what I hear and I will have to get some more info on EQII then what there is now like : How is world going to be, Is there going to be such a thing as a zone and, if so what is going to keep the number down in them to keep it from having 80 peps in one zone tring to kill the same mobs?, Is there going to be such a thing as selling high lvl items ( I HOPE NOT )?, How much will it cost me?. This is some of the info I am looking for it sounds good and yes the graphics is cool but from what I have heard and seen they are still dancing around the main questions.

IF THEY WANT US TO KEPP PLAYING EQ WHY DO THEY MAKE NEW GAMES ... LIKE WED PLAY BOTH HMMMMM

If you want to play EQ2, will you have to start over? or is this just like a major expansion?

Amazing how much time and energy people spend on these boards arguing and postulating on a single subject, but I might as well add my two bits.

I could care less about extensive graphics, since my computer can barely run them now. I don't play with a calculator or a slide rule, so analyzing the fine point between one game and the next is pointless to me (and makes me wonder about the people who DO). The only thing I have ever had a problem with as far as EQ goes is the fact that it touts itself as a RPG. This is NOT a rpg game and never has been - I don't care what it says on the box. To roleplay means you are actually playing the char itself; speaking as the char would speak, developing your own story line, and hopefully being able to spell (instead of 'Y R U goin to DC?????'). EQ is a hack and slash, with interesting spells and nice graphics, but is not a rpg. Very few if any people are in character, and even the role play server is a bit of a flop.

If EQ2 is anything, I think it's the game that the writers and players of real rpg want to see. Verant and Sony is making money hand over fist with this game, and will continue to. As long as a game makes money, it will keep going. However, considering that most of the people who developed EQ are old school rpg-ers themselves, I can imagine they were getting rather tired of Ever-camping or Ever-looting, and even more tired of the total lack of challenge that EQ gives the rper - sure the game is addictive and fun in its own right, and there are new quests being implemented, but mostly the game is a camp and kill, with about as much thought involved in it as most games on the market. The games that tout themselves as rpgs are really steer-and-click games: you pick a character, guide it around, click a few things, watch the storyline unfold before you, and then move your character to the next area. No interaction, no actual roleplaying, even on a server supposedly devoted to rp alone. From a game designer's point of view, this is an embarassment, especially if you play rpg yourself, but the company you work for is interested in the money, so you do it.

However, now that verant is making the money, they can afford to throw a bit of a milk-sop to their designers; a game more in line with rpg, where the actions of the player determines how your character will come out in the end. And for those who are tired of constant combat, some characters that will have to fight very seldom, if ever. No 'play guides', no notes; a totally new challenge. Doubtlessly, it will rocket off at first, like most new areas in EQ, and then taper off as people realize that it might be a bit harder than they imagined. Those who would rather stick to hack and slash will go back to EQ. Those who want a bit more to sink their teeth into will stay. The game designers are happy that they can finally design a game they enjoy playing, and the computer company is happy that they are still making money. And no-one loses out.

So, hence this new addition. I'm thinking EQ2 will appear to the hard-core roleplayers. It's certainly not going to be an easy game - EQ itself only rewards the bloodyminded player - anyone can hit lvl 60 whether deserving or no if you're willing to stay in one spot, get those power levels, and fight till you can't click the button anymore. EQ2 looks to reward the player who really THINKS about how to play the game: how you play determines your class and (wonder of wonders!) you don't even have to fight all the time in order to achieve a level; you merely have to use your head. When was the last time a quest in EQ actually awarded something roughly equivalent to the output of effort (barring your epic, which no lower level can achieve in the first place?)

As for money and whatnot - take a good look at how many people have ALREADY ordered Planes of Power; somehow I don't think that money is a concern. Considering the cost to run a game like this, forking over less than 20 dollars a month isn't anything to complain about (though I know there are people out there who like to anyway, if for no other reason than complaining must be fun for them). Play it, or don't play it. And for every person that complains, there's one that thinks its a great idea. Don't like it, you don't play, it's very simple.

EverQuest II really is the next generation of MMORPGs. There is only so much you can do with EverQuest before it reaches its limits, hence a new game.

I'm cool because I hate everything.

I'm reading through this msg . .and much like the others it's all about this bug and that, they haven't fix this or that

yes you whining and complain about bugs and how they can't fix eq right and so on so on. Alot of people are still playing from the beta years.

Good Job Verant, I have only played for about 9 months, loved it, nothing to complain about .. except last nights death . .stupid spawn on top of me heh . .other than that. . RELAX PEOPLE, IT'S A GAME. ALMOST EVERY GAME HAS GLITCHES AND BUGS, THIS APPEARS TO HAVE MORE. . .IT DOES BECAUSE THIS GAME IS HUGE.

If EQII comes out, I'll give it a try, I really like EQI and I'm probually the only person here to say I think Verant did a good job on it, considering the hundred of thousands of people who are currently shelling out 12.95 to play it each and every month.

What I think is that you are all having personal reflection and some of you are getting sad and lonely look at how empty your lives have been in the last 3 years. It's not verant fault you pick up the huge ugly chick at the neighbourhood sleeve bar.

Games are recreation, not life. IF there is a bug, oh well, if it makes the game unplayable, play something else. IF you feel that you put soo much time into this game thatleavnig it will crash your life, check into a mental institution or get laid

well that is cool they came out with eq2 i think is going to be cool bt im no switching yet not till i have seen everyzone in the game and played every class. eq1 still has a lot of suff to me and i would be kind of crazy to be playing 2 game so deep as eq1 and hopefully 2. nw my question are:

1. once the relese date of eq2 comes you will see a lot of peeps ebaying their accounts cause they are makng the switchwho knows maybe they will try the game first and then do so. you guys think this is going to hurt eq1?

2. with the relese of eq2 will the adquisition of items be easy? i mean think of a pice of your epic that is so over camped you been just wating 3 or 4 monthto take a shoot at it will eq2 fix that ?

3. what about the monopoly of some of the uber guilds you think once the migration to eq2 starts that these guilds will desapear? or at least the number of members decrease?

just a couple of questions that poped to my head and would like to see the feedback of some of you more veteran players
