Since SOE didn't put PvP into the game, major quests and raids are the heart of
EQ 2. The concept of the game was to stress the RPG-elements and rather create an authentic fantasy world, where people could come together and explore the lands, than to set the focus on battles between player factions like in "Dark Age of Camelot" (DAoC) or WoW. Some players might scoff at this "outdated" idea, but it's really a matter of taste, because in this regard, EQ 2 lives fully up to its promise: it gives players a huge and fascinating world full of epic challenges - a perfect playground for a well-balanced adventuring group!
And the other is at GameGal with no overall score:
So far, we're loving Everquest 2, despite the fact that we're largely over the whole sword and sorcery thing. We always feel like we're making some progress, and new skills and abilities are unlocked fairly frequently. Everyone cites City of Heroes as the ultimate pick-up-and-play online RPG (and it is tons of fun), but if you want more community and crafting options, and a living, breathing world that's more than a giant sandbox, you should consider taking the plunge into Everquest II.
