Hi all, love the site!
I went to eq2 last year after approx 5 years of eq1. I needed better graphics and something new in general, and did not want to play WoW (having tried it at launch). I liked eq2 better than anything else I found out there at the time, however, without a pretty nice computer it can be a little frustrating to run. I ended up buying graphics cards for my 2 best computers that were a bit too much for the power supplies, and I think thats why they both died on me. Now I'm stuck on WoW because my crappy 3rd computer will run it (but not much else). I did learn from the experience I guess.
Anyway, being temporarily on WoW has made me appreciate the player base on eq2, there are immature and jerky folks on any game, but generally eq2 players seemed much easier to get along with than WoW players. As I saw posted above...the player housing was really neat! I found it one of the more interesting aspects of the game and I can't wait to get back into my house. Could someone please go feed my pets?
