Here is something to think about; If, as is sometime said "All good things must come to an end" and if as is proported, the end of EQ2 is level 200. When do you suspect this game will reach that? 5, 10, 15, years?

This game in all likelyhood will not see more than another 5 years, not because they can't stretch the content creation out that long, but because public interest will wane long before that, even if interest miraculously remains, (like some kind of Simpsons phenom), the age of the game engine as it compares to new games as well as other technical issues will do it in.

So I ask you again, when do you think this game will be done? Because quite frankly, I can't see myself still playing it in even 5 years. Like all good movies, books, etc they have an end, so too should EQ2. I just don't want it to become like so many other titles, television shows etc, CANCELLED.

I would much prefer us to reach some kind of an end and begin the next game Everquest 3 anyone?
