Just goes to show, you can't please all the people
even some of the time. If you're so hell bent against the game, then why
are you even on this list???
I don't believe your argument that EQ2 was rushed
either. Considering there was word of EQ2 in development long before there
was ever a release date set, considering the game was in closed beta for months
before we ever got a peek at it, considering it was in open beta for several
months BEFORE it went live, AND considering the release date was even pushed
back so tha tit came out later than it was supposed to, I seriously have a hard
time believing it ws a rush job.
And apparently you don't know anything about
business. It would seem to me that to be competitive in the market place
you have to take into account things like the release of other games and
holidays and so on. Let's face it, Sony Online Entertainment is a
profiteering company. they want to make money just like the rest of
us. If they have to cut a few edges to get the product out in manner to be
more competitive with other companies, then that's what they have to do.
Since the game is an ongoing development, they can always add the stuff after
the fact.
As far as I'm concerned they did a damn good job
with EQ2 and I think they will continue to do a damn good job with it. EQ2
had far more content to it than Lineage II did when L2 was released.
Besides, SOE is only adding the stuff that people
are asking for anyway, so if we don't like it, we can't complain cause we're the
ones who asked for it.
If you really don't enjoy the game, then why are
you here? This list is supposed to be for people that like EverQuest and
want to see it grow, not for people who are going to argue every single little
nitpicky thing wrong with the game or SOE.
time to move on....

It's
not tougher. You know exactly how many are coming and you can plan
for it. EQ had "linked" mobs too, but you didn't know how many were
coming. WoW has linked mobs, but you really can't tell which ones
are
coming.
EQ2 was a rushed product that probably needs about 6
more months of
development time. They rushed it out because of WoW
and Christmas. Not
much of a surprise since SoE drove EQ into the
ground as well.
