Hi OP. You sound like a good person with a decent heart, just dont do reviews. Thanks.

I dont know about you, but the norm right now being 15$ a month and I will end up playing 40+ hours in that same time frame.  Sounds like a good price per hour for entertainment.  I cant even get that with cable.

I remember them in UO on the final week of beta at the forge passing out gold while everyone pked eachother.  Other than that never saw them again.

In AC I would do loot runs though the dire lands, go out for an hour or two fill up the back packs and come back home to sell some of the crap for M notes or keep some of the good stuff.  Every once in awhile you could find a great item to tinker up.  I loved this aspect of the game.  There was some good static loot that you could get, but it was great to be able to go out and find your own gear which might be superior.  Fun stuff.

I hear opinions are like....  In that case yours must be big and spew yellow because thats about as good as it read.  Again thanks for the big yellow opinion.

Oook keep living in that world

EQ2 is about raiding and guilds more so than EQ1. EQ1 has a lot more content to offer smaller groups and soloers. If you are an original EQ1 fan it is highly unlikely you will like EQ2. EQ2 is nothing like EQ1, nowhere near as good.

Exactly right, man.


Too many people are misleading.  EQ 2 has forced gameplay.  You are forced to join a Guild.  You are forced to raid if you want to experience content and progress. 


The new expansion (Rise of Kunark) is only going to make it more forced to guild, group, and raid.

If you want to expierence GROUP content and RAID content and progress along those lines then yes EQ2 will require you to group and raid if you wish to explore those areas.  But to play the game grouping and raiding are UNNECESSARY..  You dont have to have a group to get to 70.  You dont have to be in a guild if you dont want to.  I dont understand how somone can say that eq 2 has force gameplay when really all three gameplay styles seem to work just fine.  If your soloing dont expect the best of the best, but do expect to be able to play the game and have fun. 

When you want to fly guess what, you need a plane.  In your words though, if you wanted to fly dang it Flying has a forced plane ride..

I am really surprised your having a hard time on Oasis.  I play every night and just from what I am seeing in the chat there are groups looking for players and players looking for groups in all level ranges.  In fact im finding at times some of the lower level chat has more going on in it than the 60-69 chat. 

If your looking for a good guild to find groups with, I was with Immortal Valor on Oasis and they seemed to have something going on most of the time.

You know, I really liked this game, a ton me and my wife were just talking about it while playing EQ2 here.  I have alot of faith that SOE will bring this back to life and do what it did with eq 2.  But if they dont come out with an expansion I think this game is doomed.  That is the only thing that will give the players some sort of faith that they are trying to do something with it unlike Matrix Online.    Well see what happens, but unless they come out with some sort of preformance improvment /bug fix/dupe fix/server merger/too much of a dmned grid fix/ PREFORMANCE IMPROVMENT, its to the tubes.  But hell it was a good game.
