I'm going to preface this buy saying that I have never played EQ or any other MMORPG. Also, I really like EVE. So draw from that what you will.
10/26 - Well, I downloaded the game from Sony after getting my beta email and got ready to play the game. By the time I registered my Station name, and finished an essay that I actually made myself finish, I was ready to play the game. Then, oops, I had to download over 2 gigabytes of updates.
10/27 - Okay, it finished downloading. Go me. Now it's time to play the game. I was actually a bit excited because I had kind of enjoyed the game I had a chance to play at E3. Granted, my machine is not nearly as good as the machines they used at E3, but it's still a sweet machine. I made a character, one of those lizard guys because Rihk won't shut up about them. And I must say, my character looks pretty mean and threatening, especially because he has a big, green tail. Well, I jumped in the game and ... it sucks. Let me clarify here. My computer sucks. Four years ago, this GHz machine with 256 MB of RD RAM was oh so sweet. Counter-strike looked AWESOME! But with EQII? Holy primary colors Batman. If I could post a picture of it, I would. Maybe I can, I'll check. But my goodness, my comptuer just can not handle the game. It runs decently well, but I found myself thinking that the starting boat didn't have stairs in the beta build until I realized that it was not a wall of black but a set of stairs. Granted, I only played the game for like 30 minutes, just long enough to kill a rat, a goblin, and some sort of STD on the beach. It started lagging a bit in the city and I realized that I was late for my Organic Chemistry lab (again), so I had to stop. If I have time this weekend, I'll log some more time in and complain some more about that game.
