I actually thoroughly enjoyed EQ2 at launch. I adored the fact that I could create a Troll Bard. Then, completing the exile quest to switch from Freeport to Qeynos while only following a loose outline of how to do so was one of the best MMO questing experiences I've ever gone through. When the leader of the city showed up in the sewers to personally kill my traitorous ass and leave me exiled with no way to recover that soul shard and the daunting task of making the trek all the way to Qeynos to even begin the process of redeeming myself by killing 100 gnolls, it was awesome. Once it was complete, to be basically the only Troll Bard roaming around Qeynos felt really special.
Yeah, the combat was kinda spammy, but I did enjoy stunning a mob, then jumping over it to backstab it. That never got old for me. They also did a great job tying in a whole lot of the EQ1 lore.
Hell, as much hate as everyone gives the cats on the moon, I'd think people would love EQ2 simply for the fact that they literally blew up Luclin.
