SOE gets some unheard of editor to rehash old information as if new players are going to rush right out and buy EQ2 just because he describes it in such wonderful detail??

     

    WoW sold 2.8 MILLION copies of their new expansion in less than 24 hours...Just to put that in perspective that is about 30 times the estimated number of subscriptions SOE has for the entire eq2 title. Why does SOE insist in trying to try to take market share from Blizzard by making their game a clone of WoW? Why instead don't they use some imagination and create their own game? Probably because they don't have the money to hire people with real imaginations. Instead they steal ideas from other game, use concepts from their other games (anyone remember LDoN from EQ1? well their "new" expansion is taken directly from that) and reuse old content from original EQ2 and earlier expansions. There is nothing new...tnad there hasn't been a lot new for a long time. I can only ssume that his means they have no true developers working on EQ2. it's easy to cut and paste, a monkey could do it...

    
     

    Ohreally,

    your trolling becomes tiresome. Go away and stay out if you have nothing useful to say then the same old same old senseless posts.

    And maybe you should go back to school as well, as your math sucks too!

    EverQuest 2 has still roughly 250k subs.  2,8 millon is not 30 times 250k to my estimated calculations.

    So try harder next time!

    Cheers

    Nice try but WRONG.  100k ACTIVE subscriptions is the number BUT even if there were 250K   2.8 million is the number of expansions sold in 24 hours. I am sure not every WoW player went out on release day and bought the expansion. therefore 2.8 million is an estimate. a LOW estimate...Eitehr way WoW out numbers EQ2 by a HUGE margin...you fanboys who still cling to SOE are going to get a rude awakening when Blizzard BUYS SOE because they aren't profitable. I am going to laugh my ass off.

    And now Blizzard out does SOE yet again with real advertising. Isn't it painfully obvious to you SOE fanboys that EQ2 and possibly SOE is dying? I would love to see the look on your collective little faces when you go to log in someday soon and find a big 404 error or a message saying "It was all a nightmare" now  go play in  traffic...or some crap like that....

     

    SOE is failing. their games have lost huge market share and relevance in the MMO market.  They can't compete because they have to live up to stockholder expectations of HUGE profit margins that aren't there to have. Now with the stock market crashing it's only a matter of time before Sony pulls the plug on anything that loses money for them.../wave goodbye EQ2 and possibly SOE all together. 

    blizzard cant outdo SOE on any level (certainly not quality), MAYBE on mindless f-tards playing their games.

    Really? well i think 3 million subscribers is out doing SOE in the market share level...and the profit level, and apparently at the advertising level , and possibly at the enjoyment level..but other than that SOE has them beat...

    im pretty ambivalant about SOE, seriously i have played their games and they arent great (nor are they the pile of dogshit that WOW is) there are JUST as many people who refuse to play blizzard games as there are that refuse to play SOE games. i for one would rather be associated with SOE than the tard-friendly blizzard any day.

     

    Um..really, then why does SOE have about 100K subscribers and blizzard has about 3 milion? I think you might want to re think this statement...

    pointless speculation does NOTHING but make you look un-informed. asif all the kiddies parents arent going to nix the fkn wow subs before they starve.

    I own my own IT company. My speculation is most vertainly NOT pointless. I have to watch market trends every day, it's easy to spot companies that are failing or have failing products. When SOE tanks because they cannot pay their bills, or when SONY gets the shits of funding an unprofitable busines unit they WILL pull the plug. It's easy to see from a business perspective that SOE is having financial issues, at least where EQ2 is concerned. They are spending very little money on talented developers, as is evident by their lack  of creativity. I imagine they are using the same tactic they used to develop EQ1 after EQ2 was released. They turned to interns and students to "develop" while the real experienced ones worked in EQ2. What they turned out was rehashed, old content just like what is happening right now with EQ2. They have also released a money grabbing game with LoN that costs them virtually nothing and returns some profits to make up for what EQ2 can't bring in, while side stepping their unwillingness to allow RMT on all the live servers. This is another back door profit center for them, as players purchase card decks with real money and sell them for in game coin. Something SOE is supposedly against...then why are they allowing this?

    really what you posted up there is raw idiocy, and i HATE sony more than any of you can, i have hated them forever, shit i traded 1 of the first 500 NA psx's in for a 3do they are THAT crappy to me. but its nowhere near the reality that blizzard is retard farming. that is a fact! NO hard core gamers are playing WOW, only little pansies who wish they were.

     

    And you said I was speculating? This is total bullshit. I know many WoW players that play 4-5 hours 7 nights a week. There are FAR more hard core WoW players than hard core EQ2 players...But then how could there not be? Wow players out number EQ2 players 30 to 1.

    dont post if you cant do it without looking like a total moron.

     

    Well what you look like is just another SOE boot licker fanboy who wants to control those of us who hope EQ2 dies a fairly painful death rather soon. I don't play WoW, i actually still have an EQ2 account that my wife plays because she has friends that still play.  I use to be like you, thinking SOE could do nothing wrong, but then they f*cked up the game, caved in to the hard core trade skillers and made it look and feel like a cheap WoW clone. they lost all creativity and they lost me as a customer. I got sick and tired of killing the same lame assed character models over and over, casting the same line of spells for 80 levels and the last straw was they refused to even consider giving us more character slots for free, even though we had maxed out most of our toons adventuring levels.
    

    finally, I will post when I want to, how I want to and there is not a damn thing you can do about it. If you don't like it, then don't read it. If you read it and don't like it suck it up, because I will continue to come here and bad mouth SOE every chance I get. If I can make even one person consider how much time they are wasting playing EQ2 or stop one person from buying a subscription then I have done a good deed. Nearly any other company that runs like SOE runs theirs would be out of business and probably sued by now. SOE treats their customers like turds, but since most are mindless button pushing sofa king we tards they can't see that they are taking it up the butt..

    Enough said. If WoW can sell nearly 30 times the number of expansions in 24 hours than EQ2 has subscribers why does SOE continue to try to steal away market share from WoW instead of actually developing the game and using some imagination? The answer is simple. EQ2 has reached a point where SOE no longer wants to invest money into a failed product. They know they have a small and devoted player base that will continue to play, regardless how little SOE does to the game. The content of this game has changed very little since the KoS expansion. SOE throws a bone here and there, but the only significant change was the introduction of Sarnak since then. The game is in decline, a nose dive to mediocrity or less. What's the next expansion to bring? a "new" flagging system where you have to earn flags or keys to get to progressively harder raid zones? Or maybe velious will be "re-discovered" OR maybe we will go to the OTHER moon of Norrath and find it inhabited my more mini dinosaurs and mushroom men! I can't wait!

     

    Ho hum....more of the same crap..See, it's easy to re use content when the entire premise and lore of the game was written in it's predecessor...

     

    And all this time you thought you were playing something new and exciting...
