Few things, EQ2 runs fine on newer hardware, and it runs like shit on older hardware. I average 50-60 fps without shadows, and drop to just about 35-40ish when there are alot of players on the screen. With shadows I'm down to about 20ish in populated area's but as low as 10-15 when theres alot of environmental stuff, but other then that, it runs fantastic. This isnt a FPS, so anything above 25-30 is just gravy. They also stated it was built for future machines, to let the engine "grow with the hardware".

As far as the bugs go, I havent encountered any of the raid bugs (I dont raid) and very very very few of the smaller pathing/questing bugs. So while it may suck for alot of you at the high end, its not really effecting those of us down here at the lower end.

Here's a small picture I took, max everything, including shadows. Took it with a few characters on screen, with other crap, so you dont accuse me of overexagerating. =) Specs are c2duo, 7900gt, 2gigs ram:
