Feels like SWG all over - all flash, no substance.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but EQ2 is Star Wars Galaxies all over again. There's no question SOE has invested a significant amount of time in developing one of the most cutting edge MMO worlds to date with next generation technology. The EQ2 game world is impressive. However, behind this cutting edge technology is little substance and you'll quickly find the world is one-dimensional. What's left? Nothing to do but grind, grind, and grind. After playing for 30+ hours I find myself left standing, scratching my head, wondering what to do next to satisfy myself in the game world. I forsee countless hours of grinding, interruped by one-dimensional quests, to acquire experience and items. What I don't see is any indication of rewarding gameplay. A dazzling frontend with very little substance. Welcome to another polished chatroom.
