Holy crap, well the past few days of my life have been consumed on the Everquest II beta which has been my infatuation for quite some time now. Although i've only had the game about a week my Lvl. 9 half-elf fighter is looking quite cool being outfitted with cool equipment and kicking alot of ass. Everquest II firstly is the most beutiful mmorpg... hell game i've ever played, the shaders and models are some of the best i've ever seen.
The attention to detail and facial expression make the game even more immersive then the journey's themselves. Every revelant npc has spoken dialouge which is seamlessly put onto the screen and decisions are made by clicking on boxes close to that npc. Housing is hands down one of the coolest features of the game enabling you to gain items throughout the world and place them in your apartment / house / condo (whatever real-estate you are currently investing in) in a seamless drag-and-drop fashion with a house POV.
Anything from tables chairs posters, artwork, and lights of all kinds can be placed in your real-estate. Need I mention the pets (they recently added cats) which I have yet to look into myself. Combat remains simple to learn yet a real skill to master, much like many mmorpgs it uses an "engagment" system but it does so in such a way through animations of every kind and some of the most detailed graphics i've ever seen that I stay engaged in combat and you wont be killing rats forever.
Norrath is littered with literally hundreds of different creatures, one of the first things you notice when you play the game is how many creatures simply roam the enviorment. On one cute incident I was walking through Quenos (my start city) and I found a family of ducks and a family of cats named Sargent Qack and Major Meow, Norrath seems literally like another world hosted on a computer server. Some of this rant comes from the fact that Everquest II is the first mmorpg i've truly been engaged in.
Nothing elese up to this point has made me feel like it is worth putting the time and money into it just to level up a character. But immersing myself in this beutiful world and banding together with buddies is simply a blast. The people you quest for seem to have flavor as apposed to other mmorpgs, like they want something for a reason not just to make you they're delivery boy. I still will be trying WoW open when it comes out but holy shit, everquest II is a great game if i've ever seen one. Norrath comes alive in everquest II and that's what so damn appealing to me, mmorpgs seem to have evolved finally to a stage where you log-in and literally feel as if you have left your life and are playing as your character. (just hope idiots dont get carried away and murder / bring weapons to school over a GAME). But that being said I think i've finally at long last found MY mmorpg, and it's amazing. :thumbs:
Some of the best points of EQ II
Immersiveness
Art
Combat
Crafting / Tradeskills (eqII takes this a step further then any mmorpg on the market)
Housing
Hunting
NPC's with dialouge, engaging, seamless, fun quests.
