I enjoy seeing the future before it actually exists even if it is only in a temporary state. Gives me information on whether or not I should recommend the product to a friend or just flat out drop my subscription.I'm ashamed as well that blackguard didn't immediately say that he played EQ2 as well. :'( Though, with each podcast you folks do, you are getting tremendously better at it. Actually was quite interesting to hear... (Slight suggestion though, break up the podcast so you'll have the ability to only get that specific games commentary [I skipped through the EQOA lymrick & the EQLive designer talk]. Go Go SoE Community Relations Team!

I DO play it, just not as often as I'd like to. I go through spurts of playing several hours a day until I get really busy or start traveling all over, at which point I probably only get about 10 hours in a week (unless I'm not near a computer like last week, and I can't even play at all <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />).</div>

<div></div>I do think that those edited out cuts at the end give the podcast in general a better feel. Give's you a final laugh.Good podcast, well done <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div><p>Message Edited by copystart on <span class=date_text>08-28-2006</span> <span class=time_text>02:18 PM</span>

I know this is the "Official SoE" podcast but I'd like to make a suggestion.More EQ2, less console.That is all.<div></div>

Finally got around to listening to the podcast today! Nice job, though I wasn't a big fan of the limerick bit (sorry!). What I really want to know is... how was the banana beer? =)<div></div>

[KazzySoJaz]

<DIV>The podcasts keep getting better and better, nice job guys <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />   I personally miss the monotonous script reading</DIV>

[PonderStibbons]

As an EQII player, two thumbs up!...  Huge imrovement in the podcast since the first one and, yeah, it's good to hear you guys  just chatting about the titles you all are working on.However, as a SWG player, hey, come on, we want to hear what 'our guys' have to say about stuff too y'know <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>
