EQ2 lasted about 2 weeks because WoW came out in the same month of the same year

WoW is coming and it will destroy the genre. Nothing will be able to survive afterwards that doesn't resemble it, even Diablo.

SoE legit believed they could go toe to toe with Blizzard. The best part is that SoE never learned their lesson from any of their mistakes and just kept doing what they did. The top raid guild leaders of EQ1 complain about the quality of the overall game and primarily Shadow of Luclin and SoE laughs it off and dismisses them just for all of them to go to join WoW's development team and beat the shit out of SoE. I'm so glad this company is nearing its death.

I don't think WoW killed EQ2. EQ2 just wasn't a very good game. It wasn't a piece of art like EQ1. It was a for profit endeavor, that incorporated a lot of untested and bad ideas from the get go. I played beta for a couple days and never had the urge to play again (and never played WoW either). From the moment i went to try to FTE a gnoll before another player and the game enforced the FTE, the immersion was gone........

How does the idea of a classic EQ II server sound after p99 blue reaches its final patch I know I would love something like this, I would love to hear your thought.

The notion of "Classic EQ II" seems to me akin to someone trying to talk about a Classic Ford Tempo. I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Preference aside, I think you'd have to convince somebody else to make it. If the recent length of P1999 patch cycles is any indicator the folks here seem pretty burnt out.

What was artistic about EQ1 outside of being a run of the mill D&D campaign?
