Ok WTF are people complaining about?
I just wateched the E3 video and this thing looks sweet. Movement is about as natural as I have ever seen in a MMORPG and the characters look very real. Has something really changed since this video was put out?

After watching the video I am really excited about this game.

I will warn you it is a 35Meg Download so be patient.
Also the guys voice will bore you to tears but the video in the background is worth it.

66kbps, not that bad. Besides, gives me something to watch while I'm soloing with my magician without any KEI.

Azizza -- I saw it in person...it was pretty yes, but it was VERY choppy too.

Its got pretty graphics, and if they can get things smooth (which I'm sure they can when they optimize), itll be great for graphics.

I dunno if the character models in any game from a genre with the words "massivly multiplayer" in it should look that good.
I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

Hmm It didn't look that choppey in the Video but I don't doubt you at all. Hopefully they will have it optimised. I really don't see how they are going to hit 4Q for release though.

I think that's the official date, but everyone expects them to push that date back before they're done. So, they're just setting later ship dates to begin with.

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

Good point. I only get around 150-175 here at work. Home gets insane speeds and Melissa's connection is just slightly slower.

I tried watching that, but after the "That Ogre outside looks like he's going to start trouble" I just clicked the X.

And yes, that was a very choppy video. If you can't see that then you are as much as fanboy of EQ2 as Vorago is to WoW.

People are dubious to EQ2 due to
a) The framerates shown were horrid. Definatly something they can improve upon. And
b) The near godly recommended system specs asked for. Most people can't afford a computer that would be able to run EQ2 nicely with everything on.

Yeah. Me too. But the majority of people don't. I'm sure most of the people here have computer good enough to run it, or even better, but we're not the entire audience now are we? I assure you that most people can't shell out a grand or so for the latest technology, or don't have the knowledge to build their own
