  • Looks like real game assets, yes, but it wasn't done on EQ2's engine with that kind of shadowing enabled. You cannot get this kind of framerate + ability to record AND shadows even on modern highend hardware.

  • eq 2 sucks

    eq 1 was epic though :|

  • @Diazt3r opinion

  • @TommyDaGreat Zek was there in the beginning, so was Enchanted lands just had a level requirement or doing an access quest to get to them. Same with Feerott

  • Comment removed

  • @LPRPG playing it now! its packed only one server every zone haz like 8 instances

    awesome game! ... nice to play a non empty mmo thats an actual good one

  • @LPRPG Actually, that is actual gameplay. There are two entrances to Deathfist Citadel. If you kill the named who stands in front of the drawbridge, he drops the key to go in the front way. Otherwise you have to sneak in from the bottom.

    This isn't a promotional video... that's actual gameplay.

  • @LPRPG Not true. Only some parts of the game, up to a certain expansion and lots of other features disabled.

  • ohh so this is what DFC look like on a high end system..

    on mine it just kinda looked like an ant mould...

  • I don't remember going to the citadel? Where is it? Or do you need an expansion?

  • @wkunzelman1 The citadel is in the Orcish Wastes, it's not an expansion.

  • @Stargeek2006 Zek wasn't there from the beginning as far as I know. It showed up together with The Enchanted Lands after a while. From the start there were only Karan and D'Lere from what I have heard. Didn't play at that time myself. This video is very fake btw. First of all, that area crawls with mobs. Secondly, it is more or less impossible to achieve that kind of framerate even on a super high end system.

  • Seriously come on lol, i played eq2 for years and never got bored of it, ive played wow for about 2 and am lvl 50 and i get on perhaps once or twice a month, Eq2 is just far more enjoyable.

  • @XvxBadOmenxvX Matter of taste I guess :)

  • darn i think this game didn't even reach my country...

  • I hate that fucking place

  • played WoW for 3 years... now I play eq2.

    But when you are ready to take the training wheels off your WoW account, come to eq2...

    Seriously, WoW is for pre-schoolers, those of you that take offense at this comment, totally prove my point.

    The game release was before WoW...

  • @Nautypaw

    you sound just like all those war fanboys

  • @internetTOUGHGUY1000 you sound like an internet tough guy :P

  • Have in mind that this game almost is six years old.

  • i actualy like everquest more then wow

  • This is a rendering on EQ2s engine. And is most likely on there private server...

    and no, WoW is like this not the other way around...

  • its like wow but super slow. lol

  • sweet

  • nice

  • It looks a lot liek the actual game, but it's not. This is a pre-rendered cutscene. I hate when video game companies try to pass off cutscenes as if it were the real game. It's really shady.

  • It is the actual game graphics.

    I suspect though that they have scripted up the control of the characters to achieve what they wanted, the animations and graphics are exaclty the same as I'd get in game.

    My guess this is SOE's private server hence the camera fly by - something the developers would be able to code in easily for a demo.

  • EQ! FTW

  • @WretchedDrake, hey bud i understand you are a WoW fanboy and prbly have no knowledge of the technology used in either game, but you do not that WoW has one of the worst graphics engines out for an MMO to-date right? it literally has one texture engine running for the whole game and thats why it has that "appealing art style" you mentioned lol.. just thought i would let you know that both games are good and it just depends on personal preference but EQ 2 definitely wins for graphics and texture.

  • disagree tbh i think this looks like trash

  • dude Aion sucks donkey balls..

  • This looks like a computer game from the 1990's

  • WoW is still the top game. Has a great graphics engine despite being eons old. It has an art style which draws more appeal than these generic graphics you see everywhere

    and gameplay of course is far smoother and polished in WoW

  • wow is for children that is what it appeals to lol but yes it is a good game a very good game but its no eq2 sorry.

  • very very very very right wellington89d this game rocks just as much as wow sucks dick

  • @Shadowkingcat234 Thats gotta be a hell of alot :D

  • This game is really fun, I have played it for awile and it is extremely fun, even when I first played at level 1 I was having a blast. I have tried to play WoW many times but I can't even play the trial. Just don't like it at all. I highly recommend this game :D

  • i think its kinda fun that wow kids always seam to find there way to other mmo games vids on youtube and leave retarded dumb comments

  • haha this is bullshit, when a group, back when i played, went up to to DFC there was like 30 spells being casted at once, dozens of buffs activated, this is way to slowpace to be realistic ^_^ ahh i miss this game now

  • cabot is right, this was a gameplay trailer released before the actual game release, many many things were changed after this video. and trust me, a monk would not sit there like that, my monk goes in with a flurry of kicks and chain punches.

  • I have a computer

  • @imjustaaron lucky

  • @imjustaaron cool so do i.

  • really? does this game still have such a bad performance? i know it was the hell when it first came out..

    waiting for part 3 atm. its gonna take some time i guess

  • Games do not have performance... computers do. So you cannot measure performance of a game based on the game itself.

  • What do we call memory leaks done from the game then?

    EVE Online, EQ2, and Vanguard all had horrible memory leaks at some point in their life which ruined their performance. I'd call it game performance, what would you call it?

  • Bad programming... but that isnt a game performance issue since bad code does not equal standard or normal game performance issues. EQ2 does not have memory leaks at the moment since the poor coding that created them was fixed. When bad code is introduced that causes crashes, we dont call that game performance unless it cannot be patched or fixed, we call it a bad patch.

  • @PatriotsRepublic in a way you can, it really depends on the demands of the graphics in the game, like eq2 is more demanding since it ahs better graphics, but wow youcan just basically play max settings on a shit computer and still have good fps

  • actually u can hook up 2 monitors off 1 graphics card and a crossfirex thats perfectly matched gives u a 80% performance boost as for those using "hybrid" crossfire that spec blows. As for the making fun of the 12gigs guy..i actually play a heavily modded game tht takes 6gigs of my ram (and im talking REAL mods that add content not those screen dressings like in WOW..) .Keep in mind online gaming is not where u find real graphics as they make the games to appeal to a wider market

  • LOL, you don't even need dual video cards unless your hooking up two monitors. You barely get enough power off of the second video card to even make a noticeable difference. All you need is one high end video card and 4GB of RAM.

  • lol what? 12 gb of ram and dual 9600 gtx? 4gb is pretty much all you need for all games out atm. Also get a single 295 gtx card instead. It uses dual GPU and is nvidia's best card atm.

  • XFX Radeon HD 4890 is better ..

  • LOL the nvidia 275 is better than the XFX Radeon HD 4890. The only part where that card excels is with crossfire, but even then, ATI's driver support for games is horrible, so you usually end up with shit fps regardless of crossfire or not.

  • I dont know if your stupid, Or just mentally retarded. 12 GB RAM - Useless... A Hard Core Gamer - Will Never Run 6 Games At Once Which Will Still Not Require 12GB RAM. - 6GB DDR2 1033 MHz Overclocked 1333 MHz If Wanted Is Amazing On EQ2 - Dual 8800 GTX's Or 9800 GTX's. Are Good Too, Best To Get A 250 GTS Or 260 GTS Dual SLI.

  • 12gb... The most you could put in for a performance gain is if you have vista-64 bit, then its 8gb max. With xp its 3.25gb. please stfu and learn something about operating systems and components

  • lol at 12 gig of ram

  • Yeah, put 12 gigs of ram, and a chaingun on the harddrive, and you are good to go.

  • boy we took that place over! Hung our flag there! LOL

  • I liked the trial of EQ2 I played but some of the Animations look kinda stiff.

  • EverQuest, often shortened to EQ, is a 3D fantasy-themed massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) that was released on the 16th of March, 1999.

    The Warcraft universe is a fictional universe in which a series of games and books published by Blizzard Entertainment are set. Players were first introduced to this universe in 1994 with the original Warcraft: Orcs & Humans in Eastern Kingdoms of the planet Azeroth.

  • Durr WoW copy, but seriously, WoW didn't even have any Siege's or RvR till their latest expansion pack. So honestly if WoW keeps stealing stuff from every other MMO that comes out. Then yes after awhile everything will become a "WoWclone" in the eyes of stupid retards who can't come to the conclusion that WoW wasn't the first MMO that was populair. Look at DAoC, EQ, Asheron's Call, Anarchy Online.

  • Ac ruled!!!!!!!!!

  • DURRR

  • Comment removed

  • and both their siege and rvr is crap imo.

  • @blibli666 I play WoW and i know that WoW wasn't the first mmo, and most games borrow elements from other games.

  • @blibli666 Anarchy Online is such a beast game, so original.

  • the people say blah blah blah sucks or blah blah blah is better.- IT'S AN OPINION it's what kind/type of game you like to play and half the people haven't even played one they thing is better. and for gods sake they are just games

  • can i sell my eq2 even if i used it? i did cancel my subsrciption

  • this came out before both runescape and WoW you silly twat

  • lol dude your such a nerd who cares what sucks and what doesnt its all on preference you like wow fine we like eq2 so stop being a nerd and get your head out your stinkay ass butt

  • Actually not. Runescape came out in 2001 and EQ2 came out in 2004 as did WoW

  • but, eq1, the original 3D MMOrpg came out in the 90s, before any of these other 3d mmos

  • Maybe he meant EQ in general.

  • of course you would say that everquest has been out since 1990 hell longer than that so how does everquest copie wow blizzard takes ideas form other games and puts them into their games so whos copying get your facts straight tard

  • Don't worry, Wow sucks too.

  • true they all suck

  • You should take your information before calling someone a "tard" when your information isn't even correct. EQ came out in 1999. EQ, I'm sure has taken some things from other games, but for the most part it was revolutionary.

  • in fact this game reminds me of runescape xD

  • i stopped playing wow what game u guyz think i should get? EQ2? or WarHammer online?

  • eq2 is not as expensive as warhammer when you first buy it, but I have not played warhammer online yet, so I'm not sure.

  • Get to lvl 80,get a tier of your choice,try doing achievements. Nobody has ever beaten WoW lol. And nobody ever will with all the kewl updates!

  • wow sucks

  • Idk I'm not really thinking the updates are to "kewl" I mean it all feels the same. I honestly enjoyed playing through WotLK more than the end game.

    ( I say WotLK because I never had a character hit cap before wrath.)

  • EQ2 wont keep you hooked, its a pretty boring game like WoW when you get to a certain level, in WoW's case, 80.

    the only time i ever bother to login is when they do a really big patch.

    But apparently, even that didnt keep me hooked for 2 days.

    Anyway Qbis, no one cares if you got to 80 in a week or less. If you even bothered to put that much effort into the game, you prolly have no damn life =.=!

  • he didn't say he got to 80 in a week. he said he quit a week after becoming 80

  • I run EQ2 with a $70 video card on maximum settings...

  • omfg u know what kind of super computor you need to handle eq2 with that kind of rez, u would need. AN INSANE ONE

  • You're kidding right? Any decent vid card($200-300) nowdays combined with a decent C2Duo and 4gb of ram will be fine. This game was made around the same time as WoW, 5 years ago. It's not that hard to run it anymore.

  • maybe 4 years ago..i can run eq2 on extreme settings

  • You don't need an insane computer to run eq2 with high graphics..

  • lol. you can't find an EQ video on youtube that doesn't have a massive argument raging on. lawl

  • The graphics look pretty good in this game. But the gameplay itsself looks VERY boring. Imo WoW is better because it has an awesome storyline and the PvP/PvE is phenominal. But graphic-wise this game has WoW beat.

  • You have got to be fucking kidding me..

    EQ2 beats WoW in Story, gameplay, graphics, AND PvP

  • No need for insults ppl!! wow may have 10 years story m8 but the q's are DEFINATELY all the same (havent played eq2 yet but i m surely BORED of wow)

  • hey im bored of wow and was wondering dose this game still have a big player base? like so im not always going to be playing alone and in a city there wont just be 1 person?

    because i am really interested in this game..yes i will stillplay wow but i wanna try somthing new =) plz reply thank you :)

  • i tried the trial today... dont know if it gots many ppl but at low level areas i allready met 5players. Ur conclusions (btw its fun :) and alot more dif than wow.

  • Everone is entitled to their own opinion fucker. I could care less what you think your an ignorant peice of shit. :)

  • Oh noes.. Care.. Dropping.. Ability to give a shit.. Gone..

    You just became a hypocrit Holy, congratulations. grow some balls please.

  • EQ is WAAAAAAAY better than wow. IT has a lot more races and classes and looks more real than WOW dose. 100% for EQ

  • does any1 acctualy play everquest lol ?

  • I play

  • I played both EQ and EQ2

    I love the storyline far better than WoW.

    PvE EQ and EQ2 is far better than WoW but when it comes to PvP WoW leaves EQ and EQ2 behind.

  • you are a dumb fuck WoWs pvp is so unbalanced and such a utter piece of fuckin cluster fuck of bullshit

  • you obviously never played wow before and you obviously have no clue how to pvp if you think it is unbalance

    If you think it's unbalance why the hell would Blizzard put up large amount of money for their tournaments that attracts all classes to participate?

    Maybe you should try to get out of all the Trial games you're playing and start paying for your game you might get better enjoyment out of it

    besides I was comparing the PvP of WoW to EQ. and I happen to love EQ. so, trying not to be bias

  • metalfacexx is right, WoW's gone downhill..

    hmm 2 weeks ago.. maybe you havent got a lv 80.. so you could be elt off. sure lvl 60 and 70 WoW pvp was fun, if not a bit repetitive, grinding marks. but 80 WoW is so unbalanced.

    certain calsses can deal so much damage, the battles over in seconds. its just not fun

  • You're missing the point I'm trying to raise, dude. I was comparing EQ PvP to WoW PvP.

    I have to admit that since the release of the expansion WoLK , PvP became unbalance. Blizzard made a huge revamp in skill tree. Heck, DK alone needs a huge nerf.

    Just for the Record, I play on Blackrock and I have two level 60 characters. Rogue and DK. 3rd to reach level 80 DK on the server.. I'm not bragging. I'm simply letting you know that I'm not new to PvP on WoW.

  • wow pvp suck wow pve suck. I quit the game in less than a week of becoming 80.

  • You can't brag with that.  Ok that sounded like an insult, but we all agree that those who approach WoW with a pvp attitude will find themselves in hell ... or in heaven depending on which class they choose. WoW has PvP as an extra, you can't take it as a PVP game, it's PVE is something I like though, even though WoW as a whole doesn't grab my attention. I'm just pulling out some research on EQ2 atm, maybe this is a game that'll keep me hooked :)

  • No really, WoW pvp right now is pretty broken. And no, don't even play EQ; I'm just checking it out because I hear it has good frames.

  • I played EQ and then switched to EQ2 when it came out, phenominal game!

  • omg are theis the real graphics they are amazing!!! if they are

  • yea these are real in-game graphics

  • Yup! 100% real in-game!

    To be fair, though, most computers could not run the game at that setting. Still looks wonderful on a shitty computer, though.

  • Im sick of all the retarded WoW fanboys who think this is a primitive MMO. Please do your research before you embarrass yourself. The raids are very similar to WoW and require coordination, skill, and gear. Leveling is alot harder in this game and the graphics are alot better. There are more classes and alot more character customazation. I dont like either game more then the other just pisses me off when WoW fanboys bash this game.

  • That monk radiates skillz

  • all I gotta say is I like WoW and EQ2 there are things about both I dont like and things I like. I am currently playing WoW because when I tired EQ@ the plate glove was like an oven mitt I just couldnt get past that. I juast found out how to get that to look different but alreasy have lvl 59 pally on wow

  • XD eq2 will never go to those consoles... eq2 is a sony game. if it ever goes to any console (it wont) it would be the ps3.

  • ya, it would only be made for the ps3

    just like The Agency is being made for the PS3 and PC

  • EverQuestII it's self isn't for PS2-3 BUT there is EverQuest: Online Adevntures for PS2 which is pretty much EverQuest I

  • Everquest 2 is the best game ever created in every aspect, and i say this as a hardcore WoW addict. (Yes i played EQ2 for 3 months, then i stayed with WoW cause of friends and guild)

  • I have to agree with you. I try to keep up with EQ 2 but I have a lot of other MMO responsibilities and friendships as well.

    Not only is EQ 2 the best game I have encountered, but the community is also the best out of all MMOs I have played.

  • I have to agree with you. In terms of MMO communities EQ2 is by far the best.

    In WoW there are a lot of Diablo players which ruined WoW community. That never stopped me from playing though. All I had to do was enable my chat filters. hehe

  • is this Crushbone? im not sure, but it looks like it from what i know of EQ1. that place was awesome

  • this is an OLD video, from before EQ2 was released. I remember getting back onto EQ1 and ranting about how freaking amazing this video was (this is only a small part of an original intro to EQ2 video designed to explain how gameplay would be, despite the face that vertualy all the gameplay has been changed since the game's launch.

  • its WASD like most MMORPGS

  • is it point and click, or WASD like WoW?

  • check my EQ2 PvP video out :)

  • EQ2 is fucking amazing

  • What the fuck are you talking about? I don't know if DkP JaK was talking to me but I was just giving my opinion about the video. And I didn't even put it down.

    That being said, FUCK YOU. If I am a 'no lifer' then what the fuck does that make you? You watched and commented on the same fucking video I did, with one exception. You said nothing about the video and instead tried to flame someone.

    Get the fuck out of here. *You* have no life.

  • its so BEAUTIFUL

  • i bought this and tried 2 play but says i need to subscribe??

  • yeah this game isnt free.

  • /facepalm

  • hahaha

  • Ok...This message is for people who are acting like idiots here....Go take a break, go outside with your friends, don´t be alone. Just relax. Enjoy your life.

  • I play EQ2. This is a very 'fluffed' cinematic interpretation of what it would be like from a more realistic perspective.

    In game for example, the tank would hold all agro. If you look closely, the scout and monk are kicking an orc's ass, while the tank is hacking away at a completely different target. Additionally, the mages are one-shot-ing multiple orcs.

    Hehe, but it's definitely attractive and very cinematic. Very good 'acting.'

    I love EQ2 :)

  • god i hate that place so much

  • you all are just f-ing ridicaliouse.. THEY ARE ONLY GAMES!!!! you people gotta chill teh fuck out n leanr to enjoy a game wihtout caring what others think bout it, they think its lame fine fuck it, u like teh game n enjoy playin it fine be that way... dnt take it personal.. u guys arent even worthy to be called reall gamers if u cant respect other peoples games and their taste as well as their oppinion.. for fuck sake people... live in some harmony yo.. pfff.. more words u people arent worth...

  • yep you are correct

  • dude,wow is gonna get pwned by WAR and LOTRO is almost pwning it and bequiet mayb some people like the sluggish stuff in EQ i like it it's more realistic...like u wouldn't keep jumping around ur target in real life...

  • The first EQ Was fun but the graphics werent so great... All the spell special effects were pretty much the same and so were the monsters... Atleast untill you camped enough to explore the rest of the world. WoW Has many differant creatures starting off from the begining. Pretty good graphics, gameplay and more. I also like the fantasy look. Now EQ2... Cant say seeing as how i havent played it, but it looks awesome. Great spell effects, awesome character designs...

  • Seriously, who cares what you want?

  • EQ1= Hardcore Gamer, EQ2= Players who want to raid but dont have 20 hours a week WoW= A agme where LAME ASS NOOBS can play end-game without working for it...yeah thats what i want, a noob in my group at endgame...

  • Typical answer for WoW, just because you couldn't get invited into a good guild, or I guess barely even played the game, doesn't mean that you should poison peoples' minds with your BS.

  • I dunno.... EQ 2 and WoW didn't really salve my mmorpg hunger lol. Ultima Online is still up and running, and in my opinion.. It really has the best pvp out there, still.

  • try doing sunwell with noobs. have fun wiping repeatedly on the first pull moron.

  • yea i remember mine wen they were 2 9 yr old noobs lol

  • TRUE DAT! EVERQUEST 4 LIFE!!!

  • >.> EQ2 doesn't require a SUPER computer really does it? I thought that you kuld run it off of an relatively old machine

  • Compared to Vanguard

  • im not realy sure..i like EQ2 a bit more than WoW but i stoped playing it because SOE dont care about this game... they should do better PvP (and not PvP servers wich dont work) mage BGs like in WoW.... thats everything i have to say but i think in near future ill come back to EQ 2 (i miss my Iksar necro =/ ..... )

  • yeah they dont care about the game...they only made it, keep it alive, maintain it and put more work into each expansion then WoW has in its game heh

  • I've played WoW for 4 yrs, Its a decent game, but its really old now. AoC just came out played it for a week, and It has so many errors with it, it made me quit my subscription. Now im looking for a new MMO and I think EQ2 Will take its place.

  • WoW just going for 3 years ^^

    l2p

  • wow does suck, but i just wish i had a super computer to handell EQ2 XD

  • Ok Seriously. world of warcraft fans, If you love WoW so much why do you SEARCH EQ2 AT YOUTUBE AND GLOAT ABOUT HOW BETTER YOU ARE? Because you fail.
