Pretty popular mmo youtube reviewer made an eq2 video

Exactly. When they did away with the suburbs, which was your first home when you left the Isle, they did away with much of the bridge from the Isle to the actual mainlands. You put it very well. Wish they had left that alone.

The irony being that a big part of Smokeblower's justification was that the classic starter content was too confusing for new players, when he was in fact taking out the only content that did a thorough job of explaining how the game worked. This has always been one of the more complex MMOs on the market and thorough tutorial content for new players is a must.

This review felt like the LazyPeon was doing someone a favor, tbh.

I mean, the only glowing praise he offered concerned the crafting/deco/housing game, which laughably, is the very feature that Kander has been trying to eliminate from the game.

And, most importantly, it ran well on a craputer since day one, which was part of it's appeal. It had cartoonish but smooth graphics while EQ2's engine was always built for growth. It ran okay at low settings, okay-ish at medium settings on a good computer and and high settings it looked amazing for it's time, but so slowly that one would think ttobey was trying to animate everything manually in real time.
