Coming to conclusions about a game you have seen 4 screen shots of and some info is not a very good idea. Alot can change fr |

EQ2 =/= DAOC |

EQ2 has been in development for nearly two years, people. DAOC had *one* year of development, since all their hard work was done for them by Verant. Most of these things that are similar to DAOC are just logical progressions towards the next generation of MMO, and they'll all include them to some |

Not really, this is a collection fo ideas from other games that will draw you in and hold you for longer periods of play. Its nice they try to change everything in a new game, but the changes themselves are not very original or very appealing. In a month, those people guarding the caravans will be |

Where does it say their not doing that? My assumption is that EQ1 will continue until the few consolidated servers that are left no longer generate a profit. Do you seriously believe that the SOE team the runs the current game is currently also working on EQ2? There are already 2 development team |

As a long term UO player who recently moved to EQ, this brings back memories... UO2 got similar mixed reactions, but eventually the project was cancelled and many of the features are filtering into the old game as scenarios and in the new LBR expansion. |

I will be the first to tell you that I jumped ship to play DAoC when it came out. After 2 years of playing EQ and no customer support at all I felt I needed a change. However the other games havent really lived up to what I thought they would but I refuse to re-start all over in EQ again. This ne |

So I sit and listen to some of the posts and I have to say my 2 cents.
EQ2 must happen or else EQ will devolve.
The game is written in a code in such a way that the only way to allow the changes that many have for so long asked for is to rewrite the game entirely in a sense.

character moving |

everyone complaining about not being able to move their characters, think about this. its not simply a fact of ruining a brand new game with a hord of 50+, but that this EQ2 will use a totally different character generation idea, so the characters of EQ1 and EQ2 might not even be comparable.

Fine by me really. I've got those specs covered now and my PC is over a year old already. |

Actually , following any of that there would end up making the game an exact copy of Ultima Online . I stopped playing UO for EQ for one reason : I got sick of PK . I'm not a natural born PKer . I get frustrated when I die and lose all of my equipment , and get my corpse picked clean while I watch . |

ok, gotta throw in my 2cp. i have a couple things to say....

Why do you think this is a copy of The Realm (which still exists and is actually quite successful for a 7+ year game). Is it just the description, or do you have some other knowledge. Because...suped up Realm would really make my year, heh. |

I do not believe this spell is sold at vendors. Any ideas on where it drops?
I organized a Seb Juggs raid recently. We got 29 spells but did not see this one.

Personally, this "EQ2" as it's currently being described sounds a lot closer to my idea of an ideal MMORPG than the EQ we have now. Maybe they're hoping that it will be different enough to keep "original EQ" viable while also keeping people like me from wandering off as the next |

My problem is clear. I buy a game and i spend my time to play and to lvl my charac. I could not pay to play for a dying game.

I will (assuming this is indeed EQ2 as I believe) maintain two accounts for a time, but if EQ original starts to die down or my interest fades (or EQ2 doesn't take off) I'd eventually close one. Just my $0.02. |

Verant should stop trying to suck more money out of players and just sort out what they have got first. EQ2 is most likely to be very expensive (i know i for one wont pay any more than i already am) and this could cause many players to desert eq1 (and not move to eq2) They are likely to charge a min |
