EverQuest 2

[Gamerboy00]

I was wondering what people thought of what Sony Online Entertainment has released so far about EverQuest 2. From what I can see they are going to try their best to make the game unique from EverQuest, hopefullly keeping the elements that made the game special. I'm certain they game will feature similar zones just to keep with the story, but it takes place in the future. Now Freeport Militia is made up of the evil races, including trolls, iksar, and dark elves. The game takes place in the 'Age of Destiny' where a hero must emerge. Anyone plan on giving the game a try? Below are some of the features featured on their official web site, along with a screenshot from the EverQuest 2 web site.

Massive World of Norrath -- Regions, cities, countless dungeons and dynamically created zones Easy to Play -- New user friendly game mechanics with reduced learning curve for both new and seasoned players Advanced Character Customization -- Customize face, age, skin tone, armor, eye and hair color 16 Races, 100 Levels and 48 Classes -- Branching systems allows you to choose your class as you advance State-of-the-Art Graphics Engine -- New advanced cinematic quality 3D engine capable of improving as hardware technology advances New Skill System -- Dedicated trade skill player classes based on Techniques, Knowledge and Arts Thousands of Items -- Discover thousands of armor types, weapons and unique items Player-owned Real Estate -- Such as apartments, homes, and guild houses Player-owned Boats -- Own ships and explore the oceans of Norrath Dynamic Combat, Quest and Spell Systems -- Advanced game mechanics and visually stunning effects In-game Journals -- players can log information regarding quests, adventures, encounters, transactions, etc. More than 160 Unique Monster Types -- Encounter and fight dozens and dozens of monsters Advanced Chat, Guild and Grouping System -- Faction belief systems, advanced chat and grouping options Existing EverQuest Player Incentives -- Exclusive crossover quest zones, chat system and more!
