 EQ2 - Has changed and is Solo/casual friendly October 19, 2006

EQ2 has undergone some major changes. If you like to solo or are a casual player this is the game for you. You can get to level 70 with any class solo. The developers have put in new solo quest lines that are really fun to play. The new broker system makes selling easy.
Frankly it was not that good when it came out but the changes have made for me the best MMO - I have tried WoW and hated it -- EQ1 gets old unless you are into raiding.
I think anyone looking for an MMO should definitely get this game -- especially if you want to solo or are a casual player.
Everquest 2 is fun on all levels July 26, 2006

I have played Everquest 2 since it's release and I just have to say, you must play it to believe it. The graphics and sound effects/music are just amazing. I invested in a high-end graphics card around for around $400.00 and have made every penny in enjoyment from this game out of that video card. You can adjust the graphics from low to extreme, depending on your video card, and usually you find a good balance between great graphics and fast game play. The graphics and worlds must be seen to be believed.
The development team is constantly changing the game up to keep the game evolving. The customizations you can make on your character are vast, as are the variety of classes you can play. Sony has made changes to make tradeskilling more basic and less confusing for some, so when you get tired from adventuring you can go make yourself or your friends some items such as food/drinks or armor/weapons.
The game is only as time consuming as you want to make it. Even if you play for only 5-10 hours a week you can still have enjoyment and advance your character at a good rate. They have released numerous expansions and dungeons that make the game continuously fun to explore and advance in.
I have played 2 other MMORPG's and this has blown them both away. The crowd is a mature, mid 20's type of players with very rare instances of immature players scattered among the zones (few compared to the other MMORPG's I've played), which is a nice change.
If your computer is capable of playing Everquest 2, I would definitely recommend getting the game and trying it for at least a month.

Incredible MMORPG, what it's supposed to be! March 24, 2006

I have read a lot of horrible reviews on this game, and I have read a lot of good reviews on the game. However, I disagree with most of them because somewhere in the text, they always put the game down for either it's grouping ideas or the way it's supposed to be played.
Let's be honest, there is NO MMORPG that doesn't require a group at some point in the game. In fact, all new style MMORPGS do require it to continue. In order to complete most quests in new style MMORPGS, you need a group! WoW, FFXI, etc.
As for Everquest, yes, you do need to group at some point in the game, but it all fits together. You're character is as needed as everyone elses. This is what makes this game more balanced than most. Every character shall have his/her place in the sun. Healers shall heal and mages shall cast, while fighters will fight and scouts will do their own thing. The truth is, every character is equal in this game. So, for a change, we don't have to wonder if our character is going to get a group or no, because it will. In other games, such as FFXI, we had to worry weather we would be able to get into a group or not at ALL TIMES. You could hardly be a summoner or anything of strange taste without having huge issues with getting a group.
Now, as for gameplay goes. The graphics are not top par, but the gameplay makes up for it. The animations in EQ2 are incredible. You will be surprised when you play this game, because every character is given enough special abilities to put anyone in awe. Again, every character will have his/her spot in the light.
If you enjoy MMORPGS, and I mean real ones, then you will honestly love EQ2, the patron of them all. If you enjoy PvP, you will enjoy EQ2 now, because they have two servers which offer PvP features. (Read up on EQ2 for more details) Remember, one of them offers Station Exchange, a new kind of bidding software available to those involved in EQ2 servers that allow Station Exchange.
Try it, at least. What will it hurt? If you feel that you wont enjoy it, download a demo and give it an attempt, or watch a movie or two from the official site. But trust me on this, you will not become bored with this game. There is always something to be doing and you are always counted!
