EverQuest 2 Q&A

Q: Normally I ask about replay value, but this game really never ends in that regard. Do you think there is enough content to keep the “hardcore” satisfied?

A: To appreciate a good film you don't fast-forward through the first two hours just so you can watch the last five minutes.
