| EQ2's UTTERLY LUDICROUS itemization is one of the biggest things that put me off from it. Wow.
EQ2 has so many great concepts in it, but holy SHIT itemization is horrible. We've talked about this many times in greater detail here in the past.
The effects of stats in this game are (were, at least) horrible too. If you weren't fighting tough mobs, having no gear at all was virtually no different from having the best gear you could have for your level.
I haven't played in nearly a year, so dunno if that changed. |
