A good game needs no defending. A bad game needs no forums.

Have they fixed/replaced the weird, unmemorable, new age music in the game?  The music drove me away more than any other aspect; none of the tunes were catchy or seemed to have any form.  Cannot remember a single tune, unlike in early EQ where the music was memorable and perfect for the fantasy theme.

(I may just have to go back to EQ, dated graphics and all.  None of these new games works for me.)

Cant answer that to be honest i play the game with music of and always have done with games :) but i would think the music is still the same friend as a lot of people used to comment on how good it was! so if thats what your gripe is and you cant play without music i would not bother.

Could someone put up a post with questions on the things they want changing and maybe present players can give an honest opinion of what has changed. That way at least players coming back can get a quick heads up of what has changed. i myself can try to answer a few as honestly as i can ( fact is i like the game so i am biased :) )

Well the fact that you are willing to answer the question`s honestly but biasedly wont have many jumping to ask questions,Besides the free trial starts tomorrow so I think we will just find out for ourselves,Thanks all the same.

i see what you mean how most people would take that, but i am sure there are enough iplayers out there that realise every opinion is biased :) how can an opinion not be biased? dont get me wrong i think i am very honest when it comes to the state of the game, but the fact is i enjoy the game, it's just my style of game :) i have  played eq.eq2 lotro wow and had a little dabble in the online FF game and this i the first game since Everquest that i have really got my teeth into. But at the same time i can give an real honest answer as to why they are giving free time to players that cancelled 60 days ago.

Simple, players that left after GU2 are not going to see much difference with this patch. Yes performance increased slightly, but not enough to make a difference to most pc's! mine seems smoother but has little to no FPS increase. Only khal really got new art work added. i dony suffer much from ctd's in any case so cant comment. Raid content from what i hear has a high ping which can be unplayable, but i am sure they will work that out in the coming weeks.

The best part for me was the class tweaks that they added. Anyone who would love a Ranged Ranger will be dancing if they like the game :) My ranger has become what i always dreamed him to be :) his most important equip is his bow.

then again my optimism may be due to the fact that i am currently level 39 and the content available to me is making this game great! there is content and quests galore for me at the moment :) so yes i am sorry but i am biased!

People dont really understand what biased means around here - your not biased if you just love the game, that is just your opinion, you love the game.

You would only be biased if you had some alterior motive for posting positive comments i.e. if you worked for SOE, or if you were somehow getting a benefit out of posting positive comments (getting paid, etc)

i will be trying it again from tomorrow and I seen my lvl 17 shammy is still waiting for me,If they have improved the FPS and general playabilty of the game and it doesnt CTD every hour or so,Then I will be quite happy but the biggest downside was also the population to say I could play for 8hrs without bumping into another player as the world was so huge and the player base so low when i played is realistic.

This game could be great i thought when i played but it has a huge learning curve with lots of traveling and is always nice to have people to ask questions or indeed watch questions being answered to help you out on your journey,Alas this was missing before but maybe if the game is indeed playable now it will kill 2 birds with 1 stone for me,I can play the game and fully enjoy it and people will come back to the game and do away with my population fears.

I will start to find the answer`s to my question starting tomorrow..

Well he would be getting something out of being biased..getting more players to play the game which could help him enjoy the game more and help the game as a whole,So yes he was right to state he could be biased.

That's my only concern. I loved when I played back in beta but didn't buy because I thought the pops would be low.  I really didn't want to spend the time playing if I could hardly ever group or by the time I hit max level, no one was playing. So I'll be curious how that goes for you.

Anyone else with experience on the seradon server, I'd like to hear how the population is.
