Solo friendly, group content is meh (in kunark)...

If you missed out on any EQ2 expansions, Kunark is the best. Not only does it add another huge continent to the world, but it comes with all purchasable content since the games launch: all 4 expansions and 3 adventure packs. the Sarnak race is really neat, especially for old EQ1 veterans. Outside of the new additions it adds more or less of the same content to the game, accept higher level. However it seems like with this expansion, most of the content is focused on soloers rather than groups, and grind xp is pretty much moot compared to quest experience. Though on the one hand this makes sense because this way you will feel more inclined to go out and explore and quest.

Gameplay 8- EQ2 still has some of the best gameplay available of any fantasy MMO. Good solo possibilities, more quests then you could ever hope to do. And plenty of other people to do things with.
Graphics 9- Outstanding graphics at launch, and even today they look fantasic. Though the graphics are starting to show their age, especially the environments.
Sound 7- Standard MMO sound effects. The music has gotten slightly better, combat music changes depending on how the battle is going, though nothing so special that will keep you from listening to MP3's while you play.
Replay Value 7 Moderate- Though it might not be fun forever, there is more than enough to do in this game to keep you occupied for months.
Fun Factor 9- High- The game is pretty much as enjoyable as it always has been.

My Final Score- 8.0
