    It is sad that eq2 is still one of the best mmos out there.

    It actually kinda is.

    I do generally play FF14 more often than not, but I drift back to EQ2 every so often. There's something about Norrath that even though you have to head-canon a lot of the lore stuff, or search areas you never really looked at before, the world is consistently enjoyable. Played EQ1 way back in the day, and EQOA as well. Even the Dark Alliance-eqsque Champions of Norrath was pretty fun.

    I'd say if anyone wants to at least learn a bit about MMOs, EQ2 is kinda still a good starting point.

    Ive tried playing EQ2 at least twice?  maybe 3 times over the years and I hate the clunky combat  and found the mini map confusing.  Maybe I need to give it another go. 

    On paper it has everything I want.   Still f2p with silver and gold patron levels I guess.

    if only EQ2 would be open world, no instance loading all time.

    In my opinion the original EQ2 (2004-2007) was the best MMORPG.
    On paper it has everything you want, excellent lore, a mix of instanced and contested dungeons, decent crafting, good character customisation, lots of different classes and collections.

    I don’t know why no other MMORPG implemented a Collection system.
    It gives you a reason to explore and valued items to sell on the AH.

    It’s a shame they turned it into a WOW clone.

    they really need to remove the skill bloat and get rid of ascensions or do something because ugh what a mess of gameplay

    I hope you can use double Centi longswords once again. So many good memories. Good times.

    Too bad daybreak has not come up with a single original idea for the IP since they acquired it. Just rehash the old.

    Rift had their artifact collection stuff. Other games did as well, even if on a scaled down meh kind of level, like SWTOR and their holocrons

    Others like DCUO have more cosmetic collections, like their super suit skins. They took it a little further with having those collections reward feat points (or w/e they called them), which you use to get stronger

    OMG, this is absolutley and utterly WRONG! EQ2 is not even fucking close to a WOW clone get your shit together and quit saying this.

    I am so good, I backstabbed your face!

    Stop living in a bubble and get back to reality.
    I beta tested EQ2 and it’s the game I played more intensely until 2008.
    I know the game pretty well.

    The map really kills the game for a lot of people. Even Wow at one point updated their map and quest tracker to make it easier.

    True, after all they were both produced by Scott Hartsman.

    SWTOR holocrons could not be sold to the AH if I remember correctly.

    Well as far as Wow clones goes it is imo the BEST,far better than Wow.However for a deep overall game design it is FFXI but FFXIV is a good choice for those that look for a FFXI Wowish combo.
    Problem for me is i am not looking for any kind of WOWish affect,i prefer an Atlas/FFXI combo which NONE exist so some developr should WAKE UP.

    I left when critical mitigation as a thing. Maybe that was 2007?

    Then came back for a quick look when main stat + stam was a thing.

    Then it went f2p and I don't know what happened with it since.

    This isn't a signature, you just think it is.

    It's not sad. I love playing EQ2. It's by far the best MMORPG out there IMO. Very excited about the new expansion and Frostfell started today.

    WHAT THE HELL IS THE OVERSEER FEATURE???? This seems to be a huge expansion and they have done nothing to explain any of the features. It is very strange, to roll out new systems without saying anything about them.

    I wanted to try it again but Ascensions seem really stupid.
