you're confusing me a little :P so do you want people to recommend you eq2?
he's saying that he bought AoC and realized he didnt like it so he'll subscribe to EQ2 soon. Thats what I got at least. I couldn't really understand him either. English may not be his primary language.
People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.
probably
yeah Eq2 is a great game just activated my account today
I'd stick with AoC if I were you. EQ2 has a rather old graphics and would be a bit disappoiting after you've played AoC
OP, play whatever you like best. You did the best think, better than most people do on these boards. Played and experienced the games for yourself.
Both are good games. AoC is not owned by SOE, Go figure.

Strange thread. There is room for endless discussion - but at the end: play your favourite game and have fun. For me, EQ2 isn't the perfect game - but still the best. This will change sooner or later, no question. But for ME AoC is no reason to change my favor.
EQ2's graphis are still good despite being "old"
And you dont have to have a high end machine to play and have fun like the specs for AOC.
Im not bashing aoc at all, I cant do that since I havnt even played the game, but I do play EQ2 and the machine i use playes it just fine for my tastes, but I couldnt play aoc on it.
Main reason i didnt buy the game.
The original Everquest was a very very very good game, I tried EQ2 and I didnt like ultimately where they went with it. AOC is alot of fun but really requires you to be level 20+ to really start seeing the kind of world you will be in most of the time. Give it a few months and see if you like it. Its not the type of game that you can play for a week and get an idea of the overall game.
Both are good games.
EQ2 is 3+ years, so it don't have the same graphics. But, the graphics is still nice and don't pull EQ2 down for me. EQ2 has also 4 expansion packs under its wing. This means that AoC cannot compete with EQ2 on content aspect.
AoC on the other hand is new and fresh, and has alot promising aspect of the end game. Player cities, sieges, pvp minigames, etc., which EQ2 doesn't have.
What to choose? That's up to you. I would try both, since both are worth the price and monthly fees. Personally I plan to continully play both games at the same time.

For me, EQ2 is the best MMORPG currently. Nice graphics/art direction, huge world, more than tons of content, player housing, deep crafting system, great itemization and very-very polished. Also, it accomodates all kinds of players, whether they like solo, grouping, grinding, questing, tradeskills, raids. The only thing lacking in eq2 is PvP. AoC is nice, but still has a long way to go until it becomes fun and interesting. I really cannot see many EQ2 players leaving for Aoc and staying there for long. Except maybe the completely burned out ones. For those that /played reports over 200 days!!!
The only people that left eq2 for aoc were people that wanted the better pvp, or to see boobies. That's about it. We only lost 2 people from our guild.

yea you guys make great points im lvl 30 on AoC now....and i still find myself scanning the eq2 page as soon as i log off AoC.
Just for the simple fact as far as i have played AoC it lacks in many aspects but then proves that they are ahead in some of the few. ill hit 80, but i'm actually thinking of playing both becuase right now still i have a feeling...a bad one....that AoC is funcoms red headed step child.....and child services are knocking on the door if that makes any sense
