Everquest 2 blows away the competition. Many reviewers will give this game a negative review just based on it being SOE or they are WoW fanboys. Fear not. I have played both betas and EQ2 easily surpasses all expectations. The game runs well on medium systems, I do recommend having 1 gig of ram though. The game can get choppy unless you use extreame performance settings which really makes the game not look as good as it should. Questing and Loot are great. Enemies are consistantly different every zone you go to. Qeynos and Freeport have their own styles and culture. You can tell in the first 5 minutes how Qeynos is different from Freeport even in dialoge. The combat is done extreamly well. You have a lot of abilities and spells at your dispossal so you never feel like all you do it point and attack. The combat wheel is done well, but is not as easy to use like FFXI's renki. The spells all look different and the enviroments are all unique. The only thing EQ2 is suffering from is server overload. SOE might have not anticipated that many people in the first 2 days.. right now many of the servers are heavily loaded and causing lag throughout the city zones. I recommend finding a server with less population to any new players. Anyways, easily the best MMORPG to date and WoW holds very little in comparison.
