EQII: A night on the town
Mark and I were able to play a couple of hours of EQII this evening with his 10 Templar (healer) and my newly 10 Monk. I had just dinged when he logged in. After two hours he was level 12 and I was level 11. We don’t know why he was able to go through a level and a third while I only went through one. It might have been rest bonus.
Mostly we simply cruised the qeynos hills looking for trouble. At this low level you can’t do anything very exciting. Still, we were able to get killed a few times and have some fun.
I always thought EQII was a very good upgrade to EQ, but WoW came along and our interest went there instead. Some people say EQII attracts a more hard-core gamer and the population tends to be a little more mature than the easier WoW.
We are down to playing only four hours a week as a full group. We can’t jump between games as easily as we once did when WE were hard-core. Plus, WoW is still much fun. I love that you can always log in and do something. Even if you have only 15 minutes.
