Many people will agree that this is one of the most well polished games out there. You are getting in a little late, but there are a lot of new people coming because of the living legacy promotion that is going on. Get in now and try to get to about 65 before november, as that is when the next expansion comes out and most are guessing that it will be a 65-80 expansion.
contact customer service.
Check out the million banners on these pages about the living legacy; that is why you have free time in EQ1 and EQ2.
In regards to characters - Vanguard has better armor and EQ2 has more character customization (outside of clothing).
EQ2's skeletal system is crappy, which is why the devs doesn't have a lot of models for armor. The way it is set up, when they make an item, they have to remake it for every race/sex combination. They are currently in the process of revamping the skeletal system so the armor design process will be much smoother and they only have to design an item once. When that happens, I expect to see a HUGE increase in item models.
That being said, I enjoy EQ2 much better than Vanguard. I played vanguard for a bit, but not extensively, so I can't comment on much. The one thing that I loved about Vanguard was the diplomacy system; more MMOs need to make a spin on dialog like this.
It is a promotion they are putting on now. They reactivated all old accounts because there is a live event coming this summer and it sounds like it is going to be amazing. There is an expansion coming out called The Shadow Odyssey and the live events are probably leading up to it. There are banners on this site about it, which is very odd of SOE (for some reason, they are against advertising this big).

Would you rather see a game release pushed back a year or have the game release witha few bugs that will be fixed?
