• • EQ2 looks fantastic! This may help.

  • I hear ya.  I wouldn't call it amazing either, but for a 4 year old game I think it's pretty good.

  • I would have to disagree with you on EQ2 graphics being poor.  In the big pool of MMORPG's it's hardly poor.  It's 4 years old and check out these shots.  I couldn't believe it was EQ2 at first.

  • I hear the multi-core support is limited though.  Any details on that?  That sucks about the cities being empty.  Didn't think about that.  They are already dead enough as it is.  They may as well just consolidate the city zones.  They are a complete waste.

    EQ1 Graphics

    Staged machinima style excitement.

    People are so easily fooled.

    When I see real people playing, and hear real peoples opinions, then vaporware will not come to mind here.

    The graphics look good to me and I enjoyed EQ graphics when I played it back in the day so I don't see why I wouldn't like them now. Gameplay is always more important and Darkfall will be a seamless world without any instancing, partly because they aren't focusing on the highest graphical settings. A lot of people should be able to run Darkfall on older machines and still get good FPS. Emphasis on gameplay.
     

     

    
     

    Being an old EQ1 vet I was thinking the same thing so I logged back into EQ1 after playing EQ2 for quite a while, but boy was I wrong.  After about 5 minutes I said f*** this.  The graphics were horrible.  I was repulsed by them so much that I had to logoff.  I will never go back to any graphics that resemble that.  I know graphics aren't everything, but for me they play a major part.

• • EverQuest II: Guild Hall Architecture Art

  • Perhaps that does hit the nail on the head, but how exactly would they rebuild their reputation without releasing a new game?  Trying to rebuild your rep on games that have been bashed and trashed would be pointless.  Even if SOE did all the things you listed to improve EQ2 (which I totally agree with) it would make little difference.  Sure some would come back, but most have moved on.

    I also agree that the guild halls are a day late and a dollar short.
