i just downloaded some gameplay movies, and i must say, this game looks incredible, this is one of those game that is worth the 13 dollars a month. I think, wheter you hate everquest or love it, sign up for this beta.

Ugh, The screenshots look awesome but I just don't fancy dealing with Sony Online any more, not after Planetside.

I think i'll try the freebies tho, i'm cheap like that

Ill definatly be signing up for this, though at the moment am subscibed to CoH (city of heroes)

Eq2 does look beautiful... can imagine how it is going to run in a crowded city.... :x

Good job... the beta server is too crowded for me to sign-up. It was already going to be crowded. You should have kept it to yourself!

 

[Epyon]

it was going to be crowded no matter if i posted this here or not..... theres already 80,000 posts on just the general discussionon the everquest 2 forum..... it doesnt matter when you sign up i guess, since its random picking.

Damn, will my geforce 2 gts/pro meet the system requirments? I have been waiting so long for this game and I don't want to get screwed out of the beta....yes screwed...because I deserve it

 

[Epyon]

well they did say on the FAQ that the are picking people for the beta that both have specs that meet the recommend, and that are lower, so they can see how it runs on a lot of different computers

I hope so, because I am getting my new computer soon and I can just play it on that
