well i play EQ from the begining of eq1 and now eq2... and one thing in common:

IF YOU PLAY EQ2 you will lose a LOT OF MONEY !!!!...

additional content like adventure pack..they charge ..etc... i see what SOE trying is to get as maximum as profit as possible and dont care about the players... this game have very bad costumer support.. they trying to make alot of profit because they cant win the number of subscriber to WOW, guild war or Lineage 2..with over million subscriber.

so if  you want to drain your cash... you can play this EQ2

i hope you wernt born in america because your enligh is TERRIBLE!.

SoE has proven to have some of the best customer support of any game...GW bearly has any, Blizz will ban people from WoW because of the other persons stupidity and noobs complaining a lot. and i dunno about Lineage2. WoW is falling down, it doesent have enough content and they dont plan on adding any new content for months to come, SoE has kept up with the demand and has continued to add content even before new content is needed. Aventure packs were acually a nice idea even though they should be free but oh well. and finally a new Expansion that looks awsome, Blizz wont be adding expansions to WoW, they add little bits and pieces and call it new content. besides there silly little Bit torrent rip off client sucks...it takes 2 houres to download and install a 40mb patch.

besides in games like WoW noobs are always complaining for imba classes and nerfs. EQ2 dident need nerfs from the start, soe has enough experience with MMO's to be able to put out a good stable game from the beginning and they have not let me down in its content. i quit EQ2 in the beginning yes because it wasent that great. but i gave it time like i gave WoW time...Blizz proved imcompetent and failed to deliver, while SoE has updated and created a much better game through listening to its costomer demands

@ dabutt

you are completely 100% wrong

do u have lvl 50 in eq2? i dont think so.. my char mostly lvl 70 at eq1 and lvl 50 eq2..

you will understand me when u get there.

costumer service ..SOE ?? lol  ,, when u online try to do it now .... you will understand me.

EQ2 a LOTS of NERFS... a lot of COMBAT bug. skill or spell broken... try to see what is their official forum..  you will feel you are playing in beta but you have to pay for it..

they down everyday... and the latest patch they do is FONT LOL......  what happen to combat/spell broken... they never fix it until now...  while this game still need a lot of fix they launch another adv pack splitpaw and new expansion... a JOKE...

and now they falling down of subscriber... lots of pple quiting.. after the guildwar hit on shelves.

if u dont believe me..check the mmorpg chart at www.mmogchart.com

they fall from 350k subsc. to 250k ish. in very short time.

well.. its up to you...  that game EQ2 need new management... now their management is too business or money minded.... will try to find way to drain your cash

dude, i dont know how long its been since youve played, i havent seen a down time in 3 weeks and have herd zero complaints about bugs.

im talking about SoE costomer service in comparison to the other MMORPG's, like WoW's service is just gay, whenever you petition they just send u a Mail telling u to Email this or this place and that email doesent even work. GW cant afford Customer service since its free.
