Vampires of Neriak.
 
I must admit, that does look pretty cool.
Stories are missing from MMORPGs, if the impressions are good, I may have to reactivate my account and give it a shot.
 
I keep debating if I should pick up EQ2... Every time I talk myself into it they release screens like the ones in the link and I once again change my mind. It has to be the ugliest "new" game in a long long time.
 
All the money they make off the franchise and they cant find some good artists. Why is it so difficult? If the game didnt look like complete garbage I would probably be playing it over WOW.

Tell me about it. I'm sorry but that art above with the halloween dracula guy reeks of cheese. Doesn't get me pumped to jump into everquest I'll tell you that!
:lol

There is one MMORPG with a very developed (well for an MMORPG) story.

Hint, it ends with XI and starts with Final, and somewhere in the middle there's a Fantasy.
 
i doubt i'll be strong enough to tackle the new material yet (i've yet to touch barely any of the material already there!), but it's good to know there's already new content coming.

According to this post the Bloodline Chronicles is tuned for 30-45, which makes sense given where it's set.
 
A guildie and I spent an hour or so tonight in the preview zone farming some of the new item drops (got a really good robe and cloth gloves, and I got some really nice new plate legs) and the zone has the destructable walls in it:

I haven't really bothered with the whole WoW vs. EQ2 thing since I'm not a MMO guy, but that final screenshot just looks HORRIBLE in my opinion. It's just so....plain! I'm going to assume it looks at least better in motion.
 
I used to be guilty of bad-mouthing the graphics/art in this game.

Guess what happened next? I decided to purchase the game. Now I'm gonna have to jump to the other side (and STFU basically), EQ2 whoops WoW graphically if you have the muscle to run Med-High to High settings. No question. The game sometimes does look awful in screens i'll admit, but lemme tell you, in motion it is sweet.
