If EQII lasts, I could see it becomming a very solid game in time. It certainly has the graphic capabilities, and maybe overtime the content and balance of the game will shape up.

I sure hope so, as I won't have any time to game for the next 7 months. Once I spend my hard earned money on a killer system, EQII is going to be one of the first games I'm going to try.

I think if Blizzard doesn't start setting themselves up to deal with the inevitable server issues come this summer that the EQ2 population will baloon.

It's the break Sony needs and I would have said WoW burnout instead but that is totally going to depend on when Blizzard gets the expansion out. Also mmorpg burnout is normally a trickle-down effect with a friend leaving, and then another, and so forth. Performance issues can make a massive number of people leave all at once.

I posted a story I did on newsvine.com last night about EQ2. If you dont have access to newsvine, I've also cross-posted here on a blog.

Yeah I think so too. Especially over the past few months with how much has changed in it. Some of it is an obvious copy of WoW but that's fine with me because in the end it makes my play experience better.
