I’m going out this minute to drive to the shop and buy my copy of EQ2 (Desert of Flame + base game). I’m also going to order the one coming out in two weeks and probably even the two mini-packs. What the hell.

I still have some notes left and I don’t have even started playing. I wanted to give the website some breath.

Expect lots of comments (if I don’t find it abysmally terrible to the point of not tolerating it, which is quite possible). The patching will take a long while, though.

Back from shop. I got EQ2 and FEAR :)

Gah, 10+Gb of HD space. And I went to download FEAR patch only to discover it’s another 105Mb. I think I’ll be swamped downloading stuff for a while. EQ2 is still patching the friggin launchpad.

EDIT: …Still patching. I think I have another hour and this without the optional stuff. I hate the launchpad. I hate pop-ups. I hate the micromanaging I need to do before being able to launch the game. It’s worst than PlayOnline.

I’m studying the classes, I narrowed down the choice to only two. Now the problem is the race.

I also found one point for EQ2 over WoW:

Most EQ2 raids are 24-man, I don’t think there’s any smaller ones and I’m fairly sure there aren’t larger ones.

EDIT: Ahh.
