Another dissapointment in the MMORPG world. When will the developers understand that we want the interface and menu system simple enough to enjoy the game? Why create a game which no PC can run at above average graphic settings and force the players to upgrade comptuers for the next 10 years? Sony Online Entertainment failed yet another time since Star Wars Galaxies. The gameplay is your typical MMORPG, nothing special. You would expect some enhancments since we're moving forward in the gaming industry. Why develop a video game with intense graphics so that the community cannot run on their average computer at homes? Are they forcing us to upgrade our computers? Or is the target only for the DIE HARD ever quest fans who are so easily taken by the immerse graphics of ever quest 2? Develop a video game that will last 10 years? I dont think so folks. You can be hit by a car tomorrow and die. This means you didn't enjoy the 10 years that Sony promised. We don't have the money or the time to invest in a new computer like Alien Ware so we can "play ever quest 2". Please, the animation itself are so horrible, you would think a group of kids put this game together. The battle seen is not close to cartoon let alone be life like. Sony, you picked the wrong developers. What motivates you and causes you to hell out loud "I'm the great warior"? Well, the sound of the game of course. I would run the world of warcraft soundtrack in the background play eq2. Ever Quest 2 is very complexed. You have to explore the world and mark down on a piece of paper to make sure you remember where all NPC's are. I find this quite annoying. The players in game are not helpfull, everyone knows EverQuest 2 players are the rudest gamers in the MMORPG world. They think they know it all because they've played the original ever quest for many years. So you get no help there. What about the NPC's? Hmmm ... should we ask them for help? Oh that's right, they don't work properly. You can sit there sometimes and type the NPC's name to find and they still won't know where they're at even if they were standing in front of their faces. The lag in game is horrible. When you deal with a high end graphical video game like ever quest and throw oh say, 100,000 people in game do you think you'd get lag? Well, it's an insult to my computer that Ever Quest 2 doesnt run as smooth with average settings. Processor: Pentium 4 2.6ghz Video Card: Assylum GeForce FX 5200 256MB AGP Memory: 1GB Monitor: Sony Trinitron Desktop: 1280x1024 100htz refresh rate Bottom line is, I don't like this game. I play it because I have no choice. There isn't any good games out there to actually call my favorite. I'm a die hard Star Wars Galaxy fan and I played that until .... well I stil play it. Done with the Sci-Fi so what about the fantasy? I would say Final Fantasy XI has a better edge then EQ2, but that's just my opinion. You don't want to put housing in game so we can use as storage and charge us two arms and two legs for horses?
