EverQuest Expanding Again

Can there ever be too many EverQuest expansions? Sony certainly doesn't think so as they have announced development of The Serpent's Spine. The digital download, available this September for $29.99, will increase the level cap and add a new player race, a new starting city, additional spells, content for players levels 1 through 75 and more.

Generally people have been dismissing EQ2 without giving it a shot, and those that have actually been giving it a go are being pleasantly surprised.

The biggest problem overall I have with EQ2 is simply the engine. I swear to god, SOE couldn't write a decent MMO engine worth shit these days..

And I always felt that there must've been two art teams working on the game that never shared any info with eachother.. one team doing player models, the other doing world and items; they never meshed worth a damn for me

Has anyone given Everquest 2 another try? I keep coming back to it. I get bored with WoW and I'll play EQ2 for a few weeks and then go back to WoW. What's weird is this time EQ2 really finally feels like a fun game. With each patch they make it more and more WoW like while staying true to EQ. So now there isn't as much straight grinding, there are way more quests, and the overall game isn't quite as hard...plus it seems there are many more loot drops now. Overall, I'm having a lot of fun with the game. Based on what I saw on on that MMORPG chart though the numbers are already starting to dwindle.

EQ2 always seemed like a richer experience than WoW. Theres a lot to be said for a simple streamlined MMOG but sometimes you want a bit more complexity and depth. Plus it still a great looking game at its higher settings.

Yeah, the whole faction grinding mechanic is retarded. Blizzard does everything so right and the whole thing with faction grinding just doesn't sound like something they would do. Sounds more like a Korean MMORPG.
