Took the leap a few days ago

    It took me a few days of consideration as it is a good amount of money/ trust, but I couldn't take the anticipation any longer and was dying for a breath of fresh air. So now after a few days I felt compelled to share how I feel about that step. I am a die hard EQer who's spent a long time on P99 blue and still enjoy it. This has utterly exceeded my expectations. Your sound team needs a pat on the back as it's a tasty morsel after tasty morsel while in game running around. I was not happy about the graphics when it was announced, yet I wouldn't want it any other way after seeing it in e-person. The combat is addicting. I only wanted to be immersed. Ya'll are doing a pretty darn good job, lol. So my thanks.

    I feel the exact same way. Although, I wasn't unhappy about the graphics. Though, I wouldn't be upset if they were implemented later either.

    Wait until you see the new models, animations, and VFX. I was also not happy about the graphics change. But they are owning it and the choice to mix in some realistic graphics (buildings, some gear, etc) into the stylized stuff really pushes their game in a unique direction. If they get EA looking the way they plan. I think we will have a lot more “converts”.

    They've got some serious talent here.

    One month follow up:  Leveled a Monk up to 18, Rogue to 8, Necro to 5, Paladin to 5 prior to the character wipe.  Currently have a 20 DL and 19 Rogue going.  The classes have a lot of flavor and each felt pretty strong with a bit of dropped armor and their abilities.  General interaction with others buying/selling, chatting, and grouping have been very positive and enjoyable.  I missed the goblin caves the first go round prior to update, but I definitely didn't miss it this time around and it was phenomenal.  I had no idea that the cave entrance I poked my head into a time or two was a massive cavern.  Crawling that and enjoying the atmosphere was amazing.  The teen level play was/ is a good time in group with xp slowing down a lot after lvl 10.  It's awfully nice to retain your worn equipment after death and I hope it stays that way.  If I want to go rock climbing or dungeon delving, I put my bags and coin in the bank then buy a few 1 silver bags to take with.  The times I didn't feel like recovering there was almost always a person sending a tell to see if I needed a rez.  One of those times I received a rez and a group invite lol.  Anyways, having a lot of fun and can't wait to see where 20+ takes me.
