EverQuest II - A Tale of 2 Games

[Rochir]

<DIV>EverQuest II is 2 games now; EQ2 DoF and EQ2 Classic (any zone not part of DoF).   EQ2 DoF is a great game, interesting content, playable strong characters, challenging mobs.    EQ2 Classic is a combination of excessively nerfed characters along with overpowered mobs.   An equation that adds up to lost shards, exp debt, equipment repairs and most importantly NO FUN!  EQ2 Classic is where the effect of the combat changes can really be seen.    In Lavastorm there are level 46^^^ Heroics that are stronger than level 50^^^ Heroic in the Sinking Sands.    EverFrost is the same.   It is no wonder that both zones are largely deserted, no one wants to go there anymore.   After I finish my HQs in LS and EF, I am NEVER going back until some sort of balance is restored to those zones.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV><p>Message Edited by Rochir on <span class=date_text>09-30-2005</span> <span class=time_text>02:41 PM</span>

I will have to check this out, I had heard similar stories, from friends in higher content raiding guilds. SoE will probably fix old content while we are busy with DoF.
