Hiyo, I'm thinking about starting up EQ2 sometime soon (or rather, starting up an MMO sometime soon, with EQ2 in mind) and had mainly one big question about the game.
How many people play?
I would consider myself a veteran of EQ1 and remember it during its glory days (East Commons instead of Bazaar, anyone?) and recently (2 years about) tried to get bak into it after a failed attempt at WoW (Hated it) only to find that it is a shadow of its former self and virtually impossible to play at lower levels because only diehard players with level 70 (or whatever the cap is now) characters remained, meaning I found myself all alone in pretty much every zone.
Needless to say, I wasted $12 on the Titanium Pack.
So before I commit to purchasing the game, I wanna be sure that people actually PLAY. It didn't help that I was looking in a Gamestop and no EQ2 stuff was to be found (although they had the most recent EQ1 expansion...).
I just really miss the days of being able to group at any level, with lots of willing players. WoW has lots of players, but a terrible (I think) grouping/leveling up system, I found myself more alone there than any time when I played EQ1.
That's my big question, I guess I could ask if my computer would run the game. If I ran WoW fine, would this be any issue (I don't really care about graphics and would probably set them to the lowest possible anyways).
Anyways, yeah, thanks for letting me ask my question, and hopefully I'll be joining all of you soon!
