Sony once again fails to realize that more is not better with everquest 2.
as with everquest, the game started out as something that a hard core gamer or a casual gamer could enjoy. It was filled with challenge and excitement.
With the constant release of expansions, "uber gear" becomes common gear, and everyone needs that next step up.
putting more and better items into a game is great, but when it gets to the point that something that was top notch last year isnt worth the code its written with today, then we have a problem.
while there is great depth and detail to this game, the whole keeping up with the joneses cycle that SoE brings to the table has made me look for a buyer for my personal account.
my grade 2 years ago would have been a solid b+, but today my grade is a d.
until sony can get varent back on board and capture the essence of what made everquest 1 so great, they will be plagued with failure.
take it from an 8 year customer of everquest and everquest 2, save your money.
Don't EVER get another MMO from SOE, if it's even a thought just look at what they did to EQII, and SWG.
It's a good game overall, better than Everquest 1, but it still has a lot of bugs. The customer service is not all that great when you have a major problem, but I rarely have problems. Although the customer service is alot better than EQ 1. It all depends on the gamer really. I like it alot, but others may not.
