IF RED99 IS STILL FUN I AM NOT TRYING TO RECRUIT YOUR SOCK.
the worlds are huge and the terrain varies tremendously. this is a huge perk for because EQ, while it seemed big when i was a kid, seems so damn small now. I really hate zones, open world is a feature I hope to god will be in eq next should that game be any good.
Even if me and 4 other guys are rifleman, it is very unlikely we are the same build. You can really make your character unique, there is no min/maxing (no best build) because there is so much customization. Also you aren't locked into a certain class, you can always forget what you've learned and do something else.
Still cant speak for the pvp, after getting slaughtered 3 times I've been blueing it up. I love being able to wonder 5 to 6 clicks from any town, set up a camp and hunt. I can gather resources and craft at my camp during downtime or grind on some other skills such as singing/dancing.
Economy is completely player driven, most items are player made.Player towns is a huge +++++++ The Idea of creating a self sustaining guild completele with is own town really excites me. The player town we live in today has everything outside a shuttle port (kinda like a boat) which is coming soon. Here is an image of a player town. the homes and other things are made by players as well as plotting and placing the buildings.
