It seems silly to base to much opinion on just these few screen shots. They all look great. And if you have down loaded any of the video, the movement is great too. For me the most exciting thing (and I will get lots of disagreement on this I wager) is the complete over haul of the quest engine. Which means those who start from the time it forst comes out will not have to much outside information to rely on. Having joined the EQ fans with in the last few months, I think it will be refreshing to be able to figure things out for myself, rather than have someone tell me all the steps.

A fresh start.
female modellers
# Jun 10 2002 at 3:49 AM Rating: Default
Just reading through some of the posts here,it seems that most males ( i am one :p ) assume that the models were done by male modellers. Well as far as I know the last time i checked the head modeller was a female and she has final say :p
Game wise..not enough diffrence to make me want to change to EQ2 im afraid. yes cool graphics but they are really just new textures and maybe the odd new model here and there. From what i have seen they will still use SoL pc models and animations. Bleh! I want a games sequel to be WOW is that really the *same* game as the original.As it stands you can still tell its EQ.

I might change my mind in 18 months when they finally launch it, cause you can bet it will be delayed (think simple patch delays and bump it up to a full new *game* :p )

I'm a dedicated EQ player, and i'v been playing it for almost a year now. Looking at these screen shots... its crazy! These guys ARE frightning. I like it. As for the comments about the looks of the female characters, i'm mature and all, but hey. We all like it. Whether we decide to admit it or not. But everyone has their opinions. I can't wait for EQ2 to come out. I'm defintatly buying it. That is if it doesn't cost 20 bucks a month or something >_<

Befallen is actually what remains of the palace from Takish'Hiz. Thus, the throne room on the bottom floor.

EQ2 is for PC, not PS2. Everquest: Online Adventures is the PS2 version.
PS2 or PC??

balance
# Jun 03 2002 at 10:44 AM Rating: Default
they do balance good and evil all Freeport is EVIL and ALL qeynos is GOOD now. befallen is just an ancient dungeon that used to be ran by wood/high elves infil Solesk Ro came by and incenerated their homeland and created Befallen, Oasis, North Ro, and South Ro, and allso Spectre Isle in oasis wich used to be the palace

I have only one thing to say : WOOD ELF FEMALES
The Look
# Jun 02 2002 at 5:45 PM Rating: Decent
I'd have to say that EQ2 looks great. They are apparently pushing the limits of what current technology can do, and that's great, since they are doing it to set up an atmosphere. Looking at the Undead in Befallen, though, they are getting a bit realistic with it. I cant tell the difference between this and the GameCube Version of Resident Evil, lol. I just think they are getting a little too "Doom and Gloom" on us. In my readings, I have seen that the future of Norrath is bleak, evil is creeping its way over the countryside and taking over whatever it comes in contact with. I tihnk they are leaning a bit too much to the dark side of things and hope they can at least balance it out so the "lighties" can have a chance. On that note, did anyone else find the destroyed Hall of Truth depressing? Mine being a Knight of Truth myself, this is extremely diconcerting, because I plan to carry my career over to EQ2 as well. To summarize, the ammount of detail is great, I just hope they lighten the look, and the tone, of the game up before they ship. My compliments to the 3D modelers and texture artists at VI.

For me even as a female player, there is no difference between "an attractive character" or "an ugly one". I just think EQ II looks much cooler than the original version (although I really enjoy the gameplay of whichever version of EQ). I hope my computer meets the requirement though.

I'm assuming this was a responce to what I posted? Anyway, just wanted to add that no matter *how goregous* a character I could play is, I wouldn't stick with a game if the game play and content wasn't at least good. =) I was just trying to point out that not *just* male character designers would make sexy or beautiful women in a game. (At least from my experiences that remains true) =) I have played trolls and other not so attractive females for the roleplay aspect hehe.

Happy gaming,

I will play EQ II if and when they have a PvP Diety Alliance server set up. I am not interested in playing on 'Blue' servers.

Hall of Truth
# May 31 2002 at 11:08 AM Rating: Excellent
So the picture of the Hall of Truth imply the paladins and clerics of the Marr twins will lose North Freeport? Just curious.
RE: Hall of Truth
# Jun 01 2002 at 8:23 AM Rating: Default
Yep. Freeport has become completely conquered by it's criminals - it's now a 'most wretched hive of scum and villainy', it would seem. The paladins and clerics have been booted out to a fortress in the wilderness. Don't remember the name, but I think it's called Marr.
RE: Hall of Truth
# May 31 2002 at 12:29 PM Rating: Default
Yes indeed... I couldn't find the article where I read that - but all of Freeport will be taken over by the Militia, as I remember. =(
#Anonymous, Posted: May 31 2002 at 9:33 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I stopped playing EQ because of all the bugs and "features" like mobs running through walls and getting HT through the floor. I'm just wondering if this EQ2 will be the same as it is EQ1 but with better graphics... Plus if it is different how will corpse retrieval be? I like DAoC corpse retrieval or should I say grave retrieval.
Here's anouther question though
# May 31 2002 at 8:50 AM Rating: Decent
What do you think they're going to charge for the "privledge" of playing eq2? I couldn't see myself paying much more per month than I am at the moment. And I know for sure if it's over $20, there'll be absolutly no consideration on my part...I won't be movin' over to it.
RE: Here's anouther question though
# Jun 01 2002 at 9:35 AM Rating: Good
I would think 15 at the most and I am hoping the current price.... I wouldn't play it for 20 or more either.
Interface
# May 31 2002 at 7:32 AM Rating: Decent
Nice screenshots. Hopefully they cleaned up the interface to a DAoC-style system. That was one of the only things I really liked about that game, along with the tradeskills, tasks, and death penalty.
Timeline?

Anyone know how far in the future EQ2 is set?
