It hasnt got the essence of life that EQ live had......
Most part there is no real fear factor.... Remember coming up with inventive ways to get past the guards in say Ogglok or seeing how many guards you could kill and how far you could get into Q with an evil toon just for the hell of it.... Running to the zone when the Dragoon's went on patrol in OT..... The first time you entered the plane of fear and the whole raid go wipped by a bunch of fire imps lol... The pain and frustration of trying to get your corpse back from a real bad spot coz your necro friend is not online, You know you gotta get it back soon as all your best equipment is on the body, Hacking your way through a bunch of nasty gnolls in splitpaw with just a rusty dagger that you got of a wussy skellie to try and get your stuff back...... Knowing that you just cant run through a zone... spending hours trying to work out how the hell to get back out of GE because your group all had a gate potion and you forgot your's lmao
Its all stuff like that, that gives Eq live LIFE......
EQ2... Well I can run around FP on a good toon and worst that happens is I get zoned back to the commonlands.... cant attack the guards... but hey I can run through a whole bunch of Orc's creating the biggest train in history with no fear as I know they will all stop chaseing me real soon...... Yawn... If I die its no big deal as me still got all my stuff no real hurry to get a shard back.....
To me it is all this that has taken the risk factor away from the game...... Also the ability to slaughter another player that is peeing you right off.....
I think it is all those things that has taken the fun out of what is a damn good game. To me that is what is missing the fear factor.
