Anyone....

Is anyone playing this? What do you think of it and how does it compare to EQ?

Casi, Rams, Clo and I have been playing on the Targonor server for a few days now. Our toons are level 8-11.

It's a lot more complex than EQ in tradeskilling. There's a new skill called diplomacy which is supposed to be as complex as the tradeskilling. You can get player housing. You can form fellowships. You can make boats. You can buy mounts, including flying mounts.

There are a lot of bugs in it right now, of course. With every patch, there's the chance your class could change a lot.

Play-wise, grinding for xp is slow, but you make almost as much or more off of quests as you do from grindings, so you want to do as many quests as you can. So far, adventuring and xp'ing is very easy in groups of 2 or more people; haven't tried much past 4 solo. Quests require a lot of running around.

You have different suits of clothing depending on what you're doing, and you switch automatically.

It requires a high-end computer to be playable, though. If you have trouble on raids in EQ with graphics, forget about Vanguard.
