How can you people not realize that SOE no longer really wants to give EQ2 "premier new game" treatment? EQ2 is old, it isnt getting any new people in, on almost all websites that show their expansion trailers, you can see by peoples' comments that it is a laughing stock. Why waste money trying to advertise or support it, when it makes decent enough money on its own so that you can spend the money it makes to fund your other projects?
It is my understanding that SOE isn't really grouped into different sections like an EQ2 team, or a SWG team or w/e. Pretty sure they all share office space with each other, and even trade around their devs. The guy we had working on shader 3.0? He is working on a different SOE game right now from what I hear, and won't be back until he is done with that other game.
Its SoE's last chance. If velious fails i am done with the Everquest world aswell as Sony Online Entertainment. That means 1 station access account, 2 regular accounts aswell as plenty extra-dollars for using services like character transfers etc.
This post is not meant as a threat, its just a fair warning. I am putting all my money on this expansion pack.
