EverQuest II Prelude Event Live, Leads Into Upcoming Expansion - MMORPG.com
EverQuest II's unannounced, yet upcoming expansion is getting a prelude event, one that will have players taking part in new quests and adventures in the historic MMO.

Like the time i was lost,no idea what to do,not realizing my quest took me underground through a well,i never figured having to jump into the well.
Once there no real escape,fight some vampires for an awesome cloak.
However what all these clones share is a problem of TOO many zones.Each zone has way too many quests because each was part of an individual expansion,hence why i can't stand questing for xp and doesn't even make sense.
XP should be a indication of your SKILL,not as a quester.
This event might be a bit of fun but i am not logging in to try and remember how to get to Kylong plains then to find the event.
I honestly don't think i could ever play a questing game again,the design does not make sense,i have to have xp come from using your skills in combat.Besides that,i am not interested in a new expansion that will lead me to a raid battle that i cannot achieve,so would be a waste of money.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
wow didnt have go to your marker quests when it launched bb.
IIRC it wasn't until WotLK that an addon came out with quest location markers; so 2 expansions in and even then it wasn't official. By that point though WoW kind of needed it as it's questing had devolved to point of go to hub > get 10 quests > kill 100 things > hand it all in > repeat at next hub... I'm kind of surprised at how few quests there are in Classic, and how rewarding most of them are (especially compared to the utterly pointless busy work that is 'questing' in most modern MMOs).
As for EQ2, I could never get into it... it just felt clunky and needlessly complicated (it also looked ugly and ran badly, at least on the PC I had back in the day).
I always have a place for eq2 but I don't know if I could go back and see what has happened to it since I left. I kind of want my memories to be of how it was.. not how it is now. I tried a few times and couldn't stay with it. Every now and then I will load it up just to see my characters and the house I had lol. Maybe this'll be the expansion to bring me back but like Wizardry said, trying to figure out where everything is again and trying to remember which skills do what, figure the builds.. we will see.
They also misjudged the market for hardware development. The engine originally was designed to be more CPU intensive as they seemed to assume that CPU would keep advancing at a faster pace than graphics cards.
Played at launch and again a few times over the years. Loved EQ back in the day and I felt EQ2 delivered a proper sequel at least in the look and feel of the classes, races and environments. Which was enough for me.
This game needs a combat overhaul and a better way to get one into endgame content or even just the endgame leveling content better so it's not overly frustrating to new folk or long time returners.
Yeah, Ive tried about every other expansion to return to EQ2 and just cant. Dont think I will ever play it again at this point.
EQ2 needs a serious ....everything overhaul.
This absolute mess of a game is what happens when you just keep adding more more more without any thought put in.
Starts in HoT and toons start off level 85.
