mmm, damn, i play on the Antonya Bayle server, Razakasis 43 Sarnak Zerker

It is good, but every game has its good points, and its bad points.

Yes, but some games have more bad points points about them then others ;)

Like WoW... *shudders* Im sorry but that is one game that i won't touch with a mile long pole... even if it has a sharp pointy end.

EQ2 is fun, i agree, but I don't have enough people that i speak to and group with on a daily basis to stay there. *shrugs* oh well its free for me! n.n

Ick, EQ... o.o

I play City of Villains, but I'm a 5 year EQ vet...

They've changed a bunch in EQ2 since launch. it's a totally different game now. AA's aren't a rare occurence anymore, it's actually possible to craft prestine every time as long as you pay attention, and lots more

Oh, I know, I got a friend who's been with EQ2 since beta, he's on the PvP server... Everytime I visit I get to talk to the back of his head for a half hour... lol

lol, fun =p

I'm waiting for the Binding of EQ to EQ2. I've been playing EQ1 since Beta so far. *Chuckles* I'll be over to EQ2 at some Point... Sarnak Warrior FTW.

Rithy

EQ2's a decent amount easier then EQ1. Not nearly as much of a grind and you don't lose exp (or levels) for dieing =p

*Chuckles* That should be a little bit of fun I'd think. I'd have to play on the test server though

Rithnok

Oh don't do that. it's such a small community there it's hard to find groups and do anything... (not to mention alot of folks are still upset at the devs for moving a guild from the test server to a live server before fixing the error and moving people back to the test server) Just get into a nice RP server like Lucan it's a good crowd there. ;)

I'm definately gonna scoop up the new expansion soon - probably before the end of the month, seeya then <3

Sweet =)

Wednesday the 22nd I will be getting Rise of Kunark via digital download, which I hope to god comes with a free month of gametime XD

yes it does, and all the other expansion packs and adventure packs come with it =p

too bad I already bought them once XD

It is!

I play too, mainly on Unrest, but I might join you on your server for fun :)

Cool, hope ya do =)

Heh. *ponders* Hmmmm... Mabye next time i go to the SoE building i might have to ask for a character copy. *grins* Might give me a bit of a reason to hope about on there, *shrugs* i've been moving around games so much right now. >.<

Yah, I hit those phases too

I hop on and off EQ2, but I play on Antonia Bayle.

You are right: its better than WoW and its a completely different game than launch.

Not currently active at the moment, but i'l be back.

Hmmm on my server. *smiles* well no idea how high you are but should you need any armor or weapons made (below 50 c.c) be happy to help with that.

Lol, knowing Kaerou, maxed, hehe

*snickers* well... never mind then. :p *ponders if he should beg for sum monies*

Actually i'm an altaholic.. my characters range from 20-44 ^^;

lol

but you have to pay!!! i only like paying for a game once! >.-.<

I had a few characters on the Lucan D'lere server, too.

Yes, you did... slacker PONY.

That was the server I used to play on. Had a 52 Iksar Bruiser. Then I stopped. It's kind of bad when over two years I averaged over an hour PER DAY and I used to stop playing for several months in a row at a time.

if i had the disposiable income and a PC that would run it i would play EQ2 i played the beta and it was fun

Athus, I know you played WoW....and personally I'm addicted as hell to it....but I honestly don't know much about EQ2...what makes you say it's better than WoW? Cause sadly I bought Guild Wars Game of the Year Edition to play with 1 rl friend who rarely got on.....and that alone was a waste of money to me cause the game is so empty.......and it gets boring fast...plus the pvp in it is horrible ( i love pvp stuff). So can you give me a few pointers about EQ2 so i can see if its worth my time please?

Yah, guild wars really sucked. Plus you can barely do anything in that game without a guild.

Anyways, EQ2 features..

1.TONS of quests. There are to many quests to be able to do. Quests will turn grey because you've outleveled them. But because of this, there is a TON of actual content in the game.
2.Player House with placeable items. You can make or buy furnature to place in your house as you wish, and you get trophies, books, and other furniture as quest rewards or from clickable items in the game.
3. Much more interactive dungeons
4. Dungeons are designed for groups to pull large groups of 5-15+ mobs at a time, which makes for really exiting fights
5. Heroic Opporotunities (HO's) Which are special moves you or your group can pull off. THis allows players to syncronise moves and if done correctly, does added dmg to the mob or gives the group a nice buff that ususally lasts about 15 minutes
6. Collections. You find collections all over the world, on the ground in the form of 'shinies', off mobs and inside items. These collections, when completed, reward ALOT of exp, AA exp, and usually money and/or an item. Items can be something you place in your house, or something you can actually use
7. Clickable items. Anything in the world, from beds, to crates, to pictures or candles can be clickable and offer hidden quests and items.
8. Interactive crafting. There is no set it and forget it crafting like you have in WoW. You have crafting skills you actually use in order to creat your items.
9. Guild Levels. Guilds have levels, the different levels unlock more guild features for the guild to use, such as bigger guild bank space. Guilds gain exp(status) from doing Heroic quests, guild writt quests(easily soloable), and from turning in special status items that drop off mobs.
10. AA. Basically the same thing as WoW's Talents. But there are major differences. A single AA skill actually raises your stats by a decent amount. No more of that crappy .5 or 1% increase to crit. You get 2.5%+ to crit per point you spend in the skills. Now that's just an example. Every skill in your AA has 8 tiers, with growing benefits per tier. You also have 2 talent trees. Each tree is dependant on the class you pic. One tree will be directly oriented to your class, say Brigand. And your other tree will be oriented to your class family(brigands, assassins, and Rangers are part of the Scout class family) Each tree you have a total of 50 AA points available to spend, this max increases to 70 or 80 I think when you hit max level. You don't gain AA exp from leveling like in WoW. You gain AA exp by killing a named mob you havn't before, discovering places, completing green or higher quests, looting rare items, and finishing collections.
And there's alot more but I think I've used up enough space for now, lol

what happened to City of Villains XD

I still play it =p

hehe :P

I was going to try EQ2 out, but I just pre-ordered WAR's collector's edition >_>

I LOVE RvR so much, DAoC was so much fun when it came to PvP, WoW's E-sport Arena's are just so shitty.

I agree that arenas were a bad idea for WoW...what once involved a lore rich history of Horde vs Alliance in the Warcraft games for PvP, such as large scale world pvp battles and the BG's (though too many BG's burns you out cause its the same thing over and over). It was like 10v10, 15v15, 40v40.....and in world pvp it could become reallllly big....i remember one thing where 300+ horde took over Ironforge and held it for 3 days.... now days though...its oh....lets do some lame, unbalanced 2v2....the only really balanced of the arenas is the 5v5...cause its got the most people...

anyways sry about the rant, saw the post and couldnt help myself

Yea, EQ2 is fun... with the right people to play with.

The german servers sucked, i tried another european server, and... well... we had lots of idiots there too... soo -_-

Somehow the experience of these games is always ruined by random groups. But I don't play enough to join a guild :S

I miss EQ1/2 anyway *sniffs* my home ;_;

Awww poor iksar. *pets*

I'm typically all alone in the furry channel. :P We could all chat together! If you're in EQ2 just type in /join lucandlere.furry If you're in another sony MMORPG I think you can /join EQ2.Lucandlere.furry to chat.

huh, strange. I type in the commend but I get nothing. No new chat channel and no error.

They were having issues with the chat channels. ;) For yoursel on Lucan just /joinchannel Furry. ;)

BTW... I'm suprised you have done any Iksar, Sarnak, dragon pr0n from EQ2. ;)

hehe, I know! It's cause I suck at anthros, lol. That and although the male iksars in EQ2 are hot, there heads look to much like Gremlins, lol.

I hang out on Permafrost...

I got characters spread out all over the servers, if I could have more than 7 then i'd have one on each server, my main is Xajeve(18 necro) on nektulos server.

Well technically speaking you could have 12 charater slots... If you got the Station Pass.

I'd probably enjoy it if I played it with you and Sarm.. but I like WoW, too.. and I still have my FPSs to play.. *Dies from too many game choices*

I would play EQ2, but I don't own it, and I tend to be very stingy when I'm buying games.

Underwater underwater underwater frieeeeends ;)

Metalocalypse is win. ^^

Why yes, yes it is^^ I'm just glad the writers strike is over and they're back to making more eppisodes^^

*SQuees.* I play it.. Oh, wait.. lol.. Silly Riesy.. *Clings to Athus and gets us killed by pulling to much* ^^'

lol, weeee!!

I've been playing the trial for a week now and the game is fine. If Age of Conan flops, I'm most likely gonna buy it, like we already talked about. Won't be a problem for me to swtich between US servers and EU servers.

So many classes to play.

Only reason EQ2 could be better is that there are playable scalie races..but anyways..back to what I was gunna say originally.

Your mom is better than *insert MMO name here*

ha..Mom..MMO..coincidence? I think not.

*wishes there were any furries on the european Union server in City Of Heroes/Villains* :( Oh well. *goes out to fight crime*
