Reimagining EQ and what Sony should have done

[Rivthis]

EQ2 failed because of the every 5 levels your old raid gear was worthless with the new gear they put out. Very frustrating to raid 5 days a week and get BIS just to have an expansion released and your raid gear is crap compared to the new groupable dropped gear.

The whole point of this thread is the leveling structure post L60 in EQ1 was unsustainable, they needed to make EQ2 a graduated Game were EQ1ers L61 could bring there characters but still be able to play EQ1 and Infact intertwine the 2 games. The leveling structure post Velious was just ignorant not to mention the zones all seemed void to me outside of the bazaar or PoK later. Level structure was the key and Sony botched it.

The hours I put in before TBC on WoW grinding pvp ranks with a bunch of 10-15 other pals for the armor and all that, only to see every casual scrub wearing it 3-4 months later. I still don't think I'm over how shit that was of Blizzard.

Sure, it became redundant with the next expansion but at least those of us who had it actually put the time/effort in.
