  • wtf! I have been playing this game for a year now.... why would they change the old ui to what it is now? btw where is he at?

  • I have a question... did they scrap newbie island?

  • Old memories.

  • dam i miss eq2 =c

  • EQ2. I played it for a couple of years, and they were the best I've wasted yet!

  • i miss the starter island:(

  • o wow, i think i might make a wizard

  • I wish I could have tried this area before they removed it :(

  • right now im installing eq2

  • I'm downloading this onto my 7 year old computer. Will it work?

  • @seekatruth eq2 pvp is awesome its open world pvp and it has level ranges.Unlike Wow were I make a character on trial and get spawn killed by 3 80's for about 30 minuets then i laughed and deleted account and went back to eq2. Lotro has no open world pvp whatsoever.I play mmo's for pvp mostley and i think Lotro dosent even come close to eq2.Nor dose World of warcraft

  • @Swarren7630 doubt it.....highly

  • i still play eq2 even now..wow is full of children-immature players..for me eq2 is more for adults..mature players who dont cuss,streal or any such..thats what i like aside from the graphics blow wow AWAY..its not a cartoon but it seems more of real world..i played wow for a long time with my better half but couldnt stand it..they understand im a eq2 player..they will just have to play wow without me lol

  • I MISS THE ISLANDS ;^;

  • Will miss the starting islands D:

  • all go play darkfall! I've played WoW, SWG & GW but Darkfall is the shit!

  • yea well everybody is talkin about quiting wow and start eq2 oder age of conan ... in the end you wont stop playin wow ;D I dont think that wow is the best game of them but the community is just so huge that blizzard cares for the game ... if you look at the other games... they are dead.

  • wow this brings back memories, I had a 73 paladin on permafrost server in like 2006, but now when I try to play on the tutorial island again, theres only 4 lands in some "extended" version of EQ2... I can't find this island anymore :'(((

    so thanks a bunch for this vid!!!

  • I was wondering, is there addons to this game like WoW? Cause thats one of my favorite things about WoW.

  • The layout looks alot like Savage 2

    

  • My biggest complaint with EQ1 was not knowing where to go, and having virtually know means to figure it out. Does EQ2 at least have an in-game map? Or maybe someone to tell you where things are without having to look around for 20 minutes? (the only thing close I ever found to this was the mechanical guides in Ak'Anon. I could find nothing similar in any other city. Yes I'm a first time player, so no flaming please)

  • looks like shit!

  • thank GOD they removed these old zones, omg they were HORRIBLE

  • @Despotes518 BS, Frostfang Sea is a POS

  • @Despotes518 THEY REMOVED THEM?! oh god why... now I have nothing to get nostalgia from =(

  • the game looks silly.

  • @Europepowerrangers less silly than World of warcraft

  • EQ2...how I miss you!!

  • Very soon this place will no longer exist. A lot of fond memories of first starting out and helping other new players get started will be all thats left. They are revamping the "new player experience" soon and part of it is to remove the two starting isle areas to make more use of the newer starting places.

  • @Trueflights really???? my lovely EQ2 change too much..i remember when in Starting isle all ppl start with only 4 class (warrior-mage scout healer) at the end of this you chose your homeland after that you made a citizen quest and have the access to move in the middle of the town to reach your trainer and after some class quest you reached the definitive class..my old EQ2 is dead some years ago,it's really sad :(

  • This game doesn't look bad at all, I'm thinking of trying out EQ2.

  • is this game worth it?

  • played wow, went to eq2, then bck to wow , i liked the combat , and trade skills but fell in love with wow first lol

  • i rather waste my money on wow then play this game...

  • @MrSillen1 If you want to waste your money, at least waste it on something better than wow =/

  • does this game have freeroam

  • Nice video. It's good to see others out there making videos like this.

  • @VagabondProEQ2 Muhahahaha i am making videos , come on over to my channel to see them.

  • @JestorRodo OK!

  • You probably just need a better system, WoW plays on pretty much anything. Also they came out at pretty much the same time...woudn't say either copied off the other at launch.

  • JonRogers925 it hought that was jus tme. but yeah the game is mad slow, not the connection but the fighting. its like you swing and click, and nothing happens, then your berserkers axe disappears.

    my V-card was great for Age of conan it should do well with EQ2 also. i dunno. also teh game starts off just like WOW which is kinda lame, considering Wow did it first.

  • @Russellt0228 WoW did it first? You know EQ2 came out a few months before WoW right? I know WoW looks years older than EQ2 but EQ2 did it first :P

  • hey im on the 14 day trial but it seems to lag a little too much to enjoy the game itself.. any idea as to what i can do to fix it? &does it matter if i have WoW installed on my computer? im wanting to make the switch to EQ2 but not if it continues to lag like this.. thanks

  • xD I think it's hilarious when people go to every frikin mmorpg video on YouTube and post "Rip off of wow" even if EQ came out like 4-5 years before WoW

  • WoW has just become ."Too Much" ..way to much to do

  • EQ2 has made leaps and bounds since it's start. But the two main problems the game faces is its own engine and how SoE deals with promotion.

    The engine in EQ2 is one that highly relies on the cpu rather then the gpu, also it's one of the reason why there is hardly any realy variety in armor looks or just the basic npc.

    Promoting has never been a success with SoE. They're like Microsoft when it comes to promoting. Remember that one Everquest girl promo? Yeah...

  • i read these comments and all i see the childish statement "my game is lol so much better then your stupid game!"

    I played EQ2 since 2004. The first starting area "Island of Refuge" was never good looking. It was very basic and had hardly any artistic value. Now for those who say "well, it's realistic.", please get that word out of your brain when you're playing a videogame, more so a fantasy videogame with orcs, fairies, and dragons.

  • Why are you so dumb? This video was posted WAY before YouTube even had HIGH QUALITY, let alone High Definition.

  • @M4j0r6izz ummm this is in 480p

  • @M4j0r6izz eq2 was made before high quality........Think before you speak.

  • I actually play both, and prefer EQ2. It's hard to explain, but the world is just much more immersive, and the lore is really involved. Just look what WOW has become, It is soooo commercialized. I'm not saying it's a bad game, It's been fun for a long time, but the current state of the game is a joke.

  • i could listen to the eq2 battle music all day lol

  • Nevermind I just read JarJarStudios comment. But what game came first?

  • As a new comer to the mmo arena, how would you explain to me the difference of WoW and Everquest? I play WoW now , and I'm a poet and didn't noet. But for real. What's the difference?  They look the same almost, besides the better graphics in Everquest. Which game came first?

  • EQ has more "powerful" abilities in usage. I feel like I'm blowing something up with powers when I play it. Not so much with wow. Wow is a bit more spammy.

    What wow does have though, is smooth game play. Smooth transition. And you have a complete open world to travel through. Wow is a bit more un mystical than EQ2 though. EQ2 has more of a fantasy theme to it, while wow has more of a "realistic" setting of farm lands, green pastures, castles etc, in a cartoony look.

    Both have a 14 day trial

  • i will always like warcraft in general way more than Everquest 2

    but i have to say

    i remember playing both at one point and i thought the graphics and effects(especially on spells and magic) looked way better and more creative than in WoW

  • WoW Is better, EQ2 is awesome, but it looks like something I used to play on my Playstation. Great game, not enough players, needs graphic updates. WoW may be cartoony, buts its still got better graphics, lore, gameplay, instanceing etc.

  • @nicepants57 wow is a rip-off, of EQ2

  • rip-off or not, WoW is FAR more succesful, don't get me wrong though - i personally hate WoW and love EQ2 but there are too few new players, all Xpacks are just more of the same too... so SoE does nothing to get new players. That's why i left after a year of being a raider

  • how can that be? it aint even the same?

  • @smaks500 I hate the way people say games rip off other games, If games never ripped each other off we would be playing this instead of wow, Aion, Runescape and other games like this if CoD never "ripped off" Medal of honour we would be playing medal of honour 15 or something by now i'm glad games rip off other games because they make them better

  • Correct. Every game in the history of mankind has taken parts or wholes from other games / tabletop games etc, and expounded on them. This is how you get a product that works, but has been polished. Then add to that more inventive stuff to build upon the basics.

  • @smaks500 no it is not

    eq was not the first mmo and not the first one with quests , lore etc

  • EQ came out before WoW did. Hell, the developers of WoW played it (Like Tigole for example). If anything, WoW is a carbon copy of EQ.

  • @Last4xis Good point, although WoW may have come out later, it's a far better developed and put together game. I mean don't get me wrong I like EQ2, it's the Elder to World of Warcraft, but new things arise and become bigger and better. :(

  • @nicepants57 This was made before World of Warcraft.And Everquest 1 was made before "Warcraft"

  • Thank you for not playing shitty emo music in your video.

  • Yh man i hate when people play shity ass emo rock punk goth music.. Leave the game as it is with its own sounds..

  • @ColoradoBansuri you suck ass

  • too bad they dumed this game down from eq1 or id still be playing.

  • I've never played EQ, but it kind of looks like any other MMO to me. Why is it better than the rest?

  • it's kind of like the first MMO, it came out before WoW. It's pure fantasy, no trash.

  • well, its not the first, but its based on one of the first 3d mmorpgs (Everquest) and to Furtehlulzk, guess you've played wow? whats so special abut this is that everything isn't easymode (like wow), some classes are really hard to play, but if you master them they can be awesome...crafting is unique, you can lvl up a crafter to lvl 80 but still be lvl 1 ranger if you want...you can have your own house and guildhall where you can start an private auction

    i could make this list so much longer...

  • play wow its better

  • have you even tried everquest? why is wow better?

  • Looks like vanguard just higher lvls and you delvl which sucks

  • runescape is nowhere the worst MMO out there, in fact it's quiet decent with its well laid out quest story line. its main flaw are its lack of pvp selections and grindiness (but what MMO isn't grindy)? WoW is too Kiddish, that's why I'm considering to quit (oh yeah, way too many hunters/paladins/death knights).

    I'm considering to switch to EQ2 for a more mature/friendly environment.

  • runescapes graphics are the worst though.

  • pssst...graphix isn't everything, and it's a java-based browser game...

  • the its good for a browser game but i dont know..... : /

  • EQ2 isn't grindy, and fun all the way up to 80 :) (soon 90) :)

  • how expensive are  there expansion packs...

    cuz WoW's are more expensive than the original game...

  • not expensive, u can get the latest expansion + all older + original game for $39.95 :)

  • thanks! that is quite affrodable

  • @kelloggcerealxoxo not only that but u also get all the adventure packs which are three areas u can go to which are quite fun. :)

  • @kelloggcerealxoxo If you buy the latest, you get all the previous expansions. Next expansion in Feb!!!

  • @kelloggcerealxoxo Runescpae is really good considering you dont need to pay for it.

  • @alienmasterfrich its better if you do cause you can barely do anything without membership.

  • @kelloggcerealxoxo I have never met a person who plays Runescape that isn't a kid. Aside from that one hopelessly obsessed guy that dropped out of school to play MORE runescape... And sure wow has its fair share of kids, but it also has just as many adults. I couldn't say about the EQ community though. Never been part of it. I can however agree about the over abundance of those three classes. Which bothers me especially because I've been playing a paladin since before they became so popular.

  • @kelloggcerealxoxo i like runescape for harvesting :)

  • @kelloggcerealxoxo

    You should try Age of Conan when it becomes F2P.

  • Here is a question. Does anybody know if a Dell laptop computer with about 180 gb of memory and 4 processor, (I think that is what it is called) can play this game? I really miss playing it, and would be overjoyed to do so again.

  • try it!

  • @Ydivan30 Quad core? if so then probably get extended and try it out.

  • HAHA LMAO this game sucks wow is better!!!

  • care to tell us why wow is better?

  • anyone have any video from EQ2 at the release??

  • i remember playing this game, the most dryest, boring game ever =/

    and no i dont play WoW

  • ya i played it release to 50 then quit out of boredom, if they made it like eq1 id probably still be playing...

  • i played eq 1 when i was 6 in 1999-2005

  • how long does it take you to lvl fast and stuff, are the quest easy or long run around the world quest

    need help im thinking of buying it but i played eq1 and it sucked is this better

  • woo eq2 is updating now cant wait to try it out XD

  • man T.T i miss eq2 my parents stoped paying for it and i played it all the time as a kid im 13 now and i keep bugging them to pay for it again but they always say "we dont ahve the money"

  • lol your parents cant aford 10 bucks a month

  • we just moved so like yea we are still getting everything situated

  • It is only ten? I thought it was fifteen or more.

  • Everquest on ps2 was alwsome i played both adentures and frontiers. Im starting up again and MF and CL still have some faithfulls, reply me for IGN.

  • The lowest age should be about 14 so 10 year olds don't come up and ask stupid questions :P

  • Like WoW better only the attacks look cooler then the WoW mage attacks...

  • idk about age im 11 i play it its awsome

  • everquest was an amazing game my fav mmo of all time

  • whats the lowest age sutible for this game?

  • hehe this place was so fun , i created characters just to go the island. this island is thill there just have to start in Quenos

  • Haha, that brings back old memories :)

    I remember that starter island to be quite the addicting place when you first got in the game!

  • LOL no one barely plays LOTRO

    lol you moron

  • Ah,,,good ol'memories,i used to play ever quest when i was younger...i remember when there was an event,that gave the chance to players to order pizzas online right in the official website ..online =D....

  • LOTRO pwns WoW. never will it pwn everquest 2, or even the original everquest for that matter.

  • wow owns every quest

  • Hmm I heard LOTRO didnt have open world pvp..so how can it be a good pvp system. EQ2 ftw. Plus theres no way that LOTRO personalization beats EQ2 it couldnt possibly...graphics? well at max and with shader 3.0 inc EQ2 graphics will even pwn LOTRO....try again..

  • If you pick either Queynos or Freeport you have a slower start, the newer starting areas lead you into the game much easier.

    Although if like me you like Frogloks then you'll get used to Queynos, take your time and explore and quest around, its fun anyway :)

    (Use to play WoW for three years, it just got too easy, all there was left to do was one raid, whereas in EQ2 there is a massive amount of content ranging from easy to very hard whether its quests, dungeons, tradeskilling or raids.

  • lol. remember bro every one is different. I like WoW because of the PvP and the two factions. Shit. And when I said What kinda game is this i really meant it as in i never heard of ever quest before what kinda game play etc etc. And since Iamsexiifosure explained the game to me, I'm taking a interest in the game.(Thanks

    Iamsexiifosure) So folks no need for the thumbs down and the hatred. Share some knowledge and Wisdom. Cause on this side no one is hating!

  • WoW is the easiest MMO out there. If you want to play with mostly a age 14 and below community be my guest. This game is personally much much better. The community is much better. The quests are much better. The mobs are much better. The spells and graphics are WAAY much better. WoW is just to boring and easy. The raiding for EQ2 is much more complicated and advanced and much more fun than WoW raiding. And it is a bit more challenging, but a bit more fun to work on end game gear. Unlike WoW.

  • Thanks.

  • where do you download this? seems preetty good

  • @72masterassailant From Sony they have a launcher called "station launcher" that hosts all their games and it has eq2 and eq1 and all the expansions for both.

  • Was fun in starting island, but once you get out of it, its really confusing, I had no clue where to go

  • is this game any good? i've never played it

  • Personally i believe real life is more fun.

  • haha true

  • what does the green text on top of ur screen say? thats never apeared for me

  • Could I get an educated response please? (I know that's asking alot for Youtube.)

    1: What is the size of EQ2s gaming world like, how long does it take to get around.

    2: What is the maxium level and what are the raids/dungeons at the maximum level? Also is it difficult to reach the max level.

    3: Is there alot of lore involved in this game and what is the role playing like?

    I'm thinking of playing this game after about 3 years of WoW. Thanks :)

  • Played WoW for the same sort of time here

    1) Massive, about 18000 quests gives an idea to WoWs 3000 or so. But there are boats, gryphons, teleporter stones etc. Nothing is too far away.

    2) Currently 80 a bit longer then WoW, but you also earn AA points (like talents) for doing things other then grinding, you can mentor down to do low level stuff grouping etc..

    3) Lots of lore, its based on EQ1 and the events that happened there. Heritage and deity quests etc. Not a heavy RP person myself.

  • 1. runescape is the worst game ever.

    2. im not trying to fight but how can people like WoW better? i mean everquest 2 has better graphics, more race selection, a better choice of class, more detailed lore in the game, and a more matur community.

    ive tried WoW and you cant ask for help without being called a noob or some other mean thing.

  • lol noob

  • Is this like wow? I fucking hated wow and want to try other mmos

  • @suckithardnfast Not at all....

  • @baddate Only comments saying that Wow is better has no reason that it is better and most of them haven't even played eq2.

  • I aint played EQ in years...its been like 10 years. i miss my dwarf warrior.

  • One thing, this is EQ2, Everquest 1 is still running along, pretty good for a 10 year old game!

  • Ok...thats cool i would still be playing it but my wife likes WoW so thats the mmo i play now.

  • ive been a wow player for years and im thinking of playing eq and try it out..

    :)

  • i just quit wow and im looking into this too

  • monthly

  • please. i really would like to try this game, but is this game free or do i need to pay a monthly fee?

  • pay monthly

  • By the look of it this is an improvement over Eq 1 for sure. Graphic wise, speed wise, and hopefully survivability wise. As long as there is lots of content, I know I'll like it.

  • yeps u can

  • @slothking66 theres servers for that. When you go to the server list (EXC)=Exchange and you can sell platinum/acc's/items for real life money.

  • rose online FTW !!!!!!

  • EQ2 kicks all other MMO's butt

  • I liked this game.

    About to activate account.

    Wondering though if servers still have a stable social community.

    Like guilds and grouping.

  • ya mate

  • If people are complaining about how this game doesn't compare to the EQ1, newer version of games are meant for newer generations of players if you keep on complaining on new version you're becoming too old to play video games, nowadays people are acting like old folks but I agree the facts how games can lower their values and qualities but this is just small changes in the game

  • I can't really see the problem with the new EQ2 doesn't seem to be that bad at all compare to EQ1, I really hate PS3,XBOX,and Wii fans why their complains and criticize on consoles this criticize between Wow fans and EQ2 fans makes no difference at all, I don't game I played as long am having fun it matter no one have right to criticize and tell players what to play

  • the game was good... now its fucked, all i have to say...

  • SOE CAN FUCK OFF!

  • I played this game and got bored and played a different game. But now I'm coming back to it and I'm pretty happy to be back (though I'm still downloading it, lol)

  • looks pretty good.

    ive always wanted to play EQ2, but do you ahve to buy a retail copy like WoW? or just download it from the website or something. could some1 please tell me how to just start the game and where to get it and stuff. I would really appreciate it.

  • SoE is nice, so if you get the Trial, then you can upgrade your account to pay 15/month without having to buy it.

    And I think to get old players back, they give you some of the expansions for free.

    Just google EverQuest 2 trial... its long to download though so don't be surprised if it takes 4-6 hours

  • hey yay i dit that but it says updating on that hting is that the thing that takes so long

  • great :) greeting from guk

    Monoxidde - 80 bruiser

  • Comment removed

  • This is amazing.

    Ima resub to this game just for the starter island. The music,theme and generally has a fantastic atmosphere.

    Shame this game isnt very popular now a days. I got to lvl 67 and now its hard leveling a zerker in EoF areas solo.

  • I hate the starting isle in Qeynos. It hasn't any challenges.

    The outpost of the Ovelord has The Great Hawk at least as a challenge..

  • da shadows r a lil bit too big eh? :D

  • and dude, EQ2 has way more than 183 quests, WTF are you talking about? theres over 4500
