They are both the same to me, except for the fact that WoW is easier (which I don't think makes it a better game). I've heard them all, and I'm still waiting for a good explanation on why WoW is the god of MMORPGS compared to others.

the reason is cause they had a few bad experiences in eq1 and that mutated them into horrific fanbois bent against all things sony. are they completely wrong? no. are many of them utter morons, incapable of "cooking" cereal? yes.

I gave EQ2 a try (played till 20, not that far I know). But I just couldn't get into it. The graphic style really turned me off to the game.
Watching/talking to my brother play it though it looks like the end game is pretty serious, and thats cool. The players in EQ2 are a lot more mature too.
I play WOW but it definetly has some downfalls, like the general immaturity level of people which pretty much means almost no one has any group ethic. Plus the fairly large lack of much of an endgame (pretty much just BRD/Strath/Scholo/Molten/Onyxia).
As far as customer service/support goes I would say both companies are failing pretty miserably at anything even resembling customer service.
In the end though I chose WOW because it's much easier to log on and make some progress in 1-3 hours soloing, EQ2 was kinda like EQ1 where unless you were logging on for a good couple hours and grouping you really weren't going to make any progress.
Both are really good games and I don't see either "dieing out" any time soon.

the maturity levels are amazingly apparent. I agree 1-20 in eq2 are much more blah than wow. it really takes off around 25-30+ though.

EQ2 takes too long. I don't have 4 hours to sit in front of the computer. The "travel time" in EQ2 puts EQ1's legendary walks to shame.

WTF are you talkin about, yes I have a 9pp horse but it really dose not take long to get places, I think it takes me 10 minutes to get to giants in TS, and thats about the longest run i can make other then say freeport, but why the hell would I want to go there other then for one or two quests.

I agree the statements on travel time being long are people who have no clue or are level 15 and don't know wtf is going on in the game.
I have a 9pp horse as well but even when I didn't Jboots/pathfinding any of those are more then fine - there is no travel time from place to place for the most part seeing as you can take a boat to ANY continent
People need to get a clue and know what they are talking about on certain topics.
I am not sure I understand the post from Finigan - what about the graphics turned you off? The realism?!
Have I tried both games? Yes and WoW is nowhere in comparison in end game and yes WoW has 8million kiddies playing and that's great - keep them, I enjoy playing EQ2 with people over the age 15 for the most part. WoW is the god of all games because it is easy and most people like to play a game that is easy, especially younger kids
As far as not being able to progress in EQ2 in the allotted 1-3 hours time u do or can play again you have no idea what you are talking about, you can level and do quests and more with no problem at all in those times in EQ2 but I guess you wouldn't ACTUALLY know that

I really haven't encountered alot of annoying kiddies in WoW (but then again I don't group much, thats the other beauty of this game)
I think there are alot more kiddies on the PvP servers because the youngsters are attracted to newb ganking and idiot l337 virtual penis enlargement. PvE servers has a more variety of mature older people; not in the same frame as EQ2 but enough where it doesnt turn you off from the game.
WoW also flows so much more smoothy with animation and graphics. EQ2 is nice but at the same time, no person on this planet can run the game at the highest settings. The game runs nice when you're solo and wandering TS but think about at a raid. I would consider trying EQ2 again in a year or 6 months once Nvidia fixes their f*****g 6800 series w/ drivers... but... nevermind, when i come back in 6 months, ill still be 31 and the rest of the server will be raiding nagafen and vox... runnyeye will be dead..
Thats what I forgot, you fall off the EQ train, you're behind forever.
f**k it.

Sure, f**k IT! That's your answer! Tattoo it on your forehead! Your answer to everything! Your "revolution" is over, Mr. Goraz! My condolences, the bums lost! My advice is, do what your parents did: GET A JOB, SIR! The bums will always lose-- do you hear me, Goraz? THE BUMS WILL ALWAYS LOSE!

Of course you can...if you group. I can play WoW for 3 hours solo and gain a level, but I hardly play for 3 hours. Can you gain a full level + in EQ2 in 3 hours. Most likely you can't. Why? They want you to play longer. If you've ever played EQ1 (lol), you'll know that the keyword to that game was "timesink". Keys...AAs...flags...ruin. But hey, if that's your idea of fun...
Also, to succeed at EQ2, you have to group. Soloing just isn't viable. Yes, you can solo, but compare to this situation: You and your buddy are in a marathon, except he has a van and you're walking. Also, he drives for 7 hours a day and you walk for 2.
Anyway, you can get as much done in EQ2 in 1-3 hours as you can in EQ1, which is not a lot, but please! Don't let me ruin your enjoyment of the game. I'll just wait patiently until I see your account for sale.

Nah Silver you obviously haven't played EQ2 for awhile then, and really you can level in EQ2 in that time all depending on just what levels you are talking about - you cant level at 49 in 3 hours nor should u be able too is my point.
You can get tons done in 1-3 hours in EQ2.......what exactly are you referring too that is such a roadblock for you getting things done? In comparison then what the hell do you need to get done to make you happy?
Many people refer to I can and or can't get such and such done in that amount of time - well what exactly do you measure this on?
I don't know about you but I can take out Venekor dragon and a few other group x3 riad mobs or x2 raid mobs no problem in groups within about 1-2 hours, I can do questing in 1 group and get completely through some of the longer quests in 1-3 hours such as Freeti boots and the like
I honestly just want to understand where you base this you can't get much done in 1-3 hours at.
And if you didn't know EQ2 changed a lot in regards to the XP you get in 1-3 person groups and such so as far as levelling say in your teens - 20's or whatever solo is much much faster as well as with the XP bonus you get.

to = everything except ..
two = 2
too = also, or for use in "too much, too late, etc."
get it right or pay the price
i cant figure out how to manipulate files and directories in C in unix environments (using stat but i think i need more .. i have to recursively go through directories and find file sizes) .. so instead im going to write out the to two too thing in pseudocode
if(sentenceUse(also, "too much, too late, etc.")) then
yourWord=too;
else if (sentenceUse(2)) then
yourWord=two;
else
yourWord=to;
endif

PVP is really the only thing that really makes me interested in it, and it seems like there is a wider variety of items to be had which I like, cause I like loot and finding shit

rofl maldek. best part is he didnt get your reference.
wow has kiddies, this cannot be disputed. wow is smoother gameplay, this cannot be disputed. both games have equally gay travel, this also cannot be disputed. thus far, eq2 travel seems to be the lesser of the two cumguzzlers.

Of course you can...if you group. I can play WoW for 3 hours solo and gain a level, but I hardly play for 3 hours. Can you gain a full level + in EQ2 in 3 hours. Most likely you can't. Why? They want you to play longer. If you've ever played EQ1 (lol), you'll know that the keyword to that game was "timesink". Keys...AAs...flags...ruin. But hey, if that's your idea of fun...
Also, to succeed at EQ2, you have to group. Soloing just isn't viable. Yes, you can solo, but compare to this situation: You and your buddy are in a marathon, except he has a van and you're walking. Also, he drives for 7 hours a day and you walk for 2.
Anyway, you can get as much done in EQ2 in 1-3 hours as you can in EQ1, which is not a lot, but please! Don't let me ruin your enjoyment of the game. I'll just wait patiently until I see your account for sale. |
Nah Silver you obviously haven't played EQ2 for awhile then, and really you can level in EQ2 in that time all depending on just what levels you are talking about - you cant level at 49 in 3 hours nor should u be able too is my point.
You can get tons done in 1-3 hours in EQ2.......what exactly are you referring too that is such a roadblock for you getting things done? In comparison then what the hell do you need to get done to make you happy?
Many people refer to I can and or can't get such and such done in that amount of time - well what exactly do you measure this on?
I don't know about you but I can take out Venekor dragon and a few other group x3 riad mobs or x2 raid mobs no problem in groups within about 1-2 hours, I can do questing in 1 group and get completly through some of the longer quests in 1-3 hours such as Freeti boots and the like
I honestly just want to understand where you base this you can't get much done in 1-3 hours at.
And if you didn't know EQ2 changed a lot in regards to the XP you get in 1-3 person groups and such so as far as levelling say in your teens - 20's or whatever solo is much much faster as well as with the XP bonus you get. |
For sale!
Account has Vio (48 pally), a 26 wizzy and two others. Looking for $400, just trying to get cash for the time invested lol |
huh? no level 50 Brigand though and no alts but seriously can't answer the questions? I just want an honest discussion about why you feel the way you do about what you stated |
Well, my main concern is the fact that good groups are few and far between, so the quality of the 1-3 hours spent (imo) was mediocre at best. It reminded me a lot of EQ1. I'd enter the zone, go lfg for between 1-30 minutes, get a group and:
One or more people have to go within about 10 minutes, thus leaving us hampered
or
Some j*****s isn't quite awake and f***s up
or
The group (including me) just isn't up to the challenge and there are multiple wipes. As you all know, EQ2 punishes death by draining time from your life, and if you're in a group, that punishment is compounded.
So I started soloing (thinking I could get more profit for my 1-3 hours of play), but solo exp. is severely worse than grouping, and they have the gall to make it so that only groups get good loot from mobs. For example, I kill goblin A solo and I get a goblin claw, but a group kills goblin A and they get a claw and have a chance to get a tradeskill book, or some remarkable piece of that nature.
Anyway, WoW is faster paced, has no real penalty for death and is solo-friendly. I guess there's not much else to say. To each his own.

f**k it. |
Sure, f**k IT! That's your answer! Tattoo it on your forehead! Your answer to everything! Your "revolution" is over, Mr. Goraz! My condolences, the bums lost! My advice is, do what your parents did: GET A JOB, SIR! The bums will always lose-- do you hear me, Goraz? THE BUMS WILL ALWAYS LOSE! |
I love that movie.

I have a 9pp horse as well but even when I didn't Jboots/pathfinding any of those are more then fine - there is no travel time from place to place for the most part seeing as you can take a boat to ANY continent

God forbid I get every quest done and hit level 50 in 3 months! What a horrable game it would be if I couldn't do that! |
And I have had no problem doing that - Nobody can have a logical conversation on what you do and do not like eh and explain why and back it up with those facts, most people just assume this is EQ1 and really it isn't?
If I didn't have the time right now to play more which I currently do sure WoW might be a good choice because of the ease of levels and such but that isn't for me, I had no problem levelling in EQ2 and no frustrations like EQ1 did personally.
As far as the looks and playability goes, I have no problems running EQ2 since I have a very powerful system so I can run the game pretty much at the max with no hurt on gameplay, if I had to play it without all the good looks and turned down to minimal it would be an eye sore so I get where many people do not like that part about the game and everoyne can't afford or want to afford going out and upgrading
