Maybe but I have to disagree for some business
reasoning. If you look at any company that has
released new versions, they always tailor the SWITCH
from one to antother. For instance, D&D 2nd edition
had a good following and most said they would stick
with it. WOTC marketed the 3rd edition in such a way
that most have now switched to that version.
I would think that at first EQ2 will be promoted with
the hint of EQ being supported but I think once the
bugs are worked out that it will be hard pushed.
Another analogy is Luclin. When it first came out,
most did not ever think of getting it. I for one had
it, and uninstalled it. But then BAM I give you the
Bazaar.
Now ask yourself who does not have it. I see more
people without Kunark and Velius than people who don't
have Luclin now.
BUT time will tell, I am sure EQ2 will get a great
following. After all its business and marketing.
Enjoy
