Summary: Poor Expansion to a Great Game
Comment: With this expansion EQ2 took a wrong terms. This expansion is not worth the money and SOE could have done a lot better. This is the worst expansion ever produced for this game. The Game itself is great - this is just a terrible expansion.

Summary: Something for everyone...if you look
Comment: This expansion I feel is one of the best that Sony has put out for Everquest2. There is a little something for everyone if you look around and give it a chance. Sure you need to have a higher level adventurer or crafter but at this point that is not too tall of an order.
My guild has been working on the crafting group quests and have been enjoying the other new crafting quests included in this expansion.
Now with group adventure instances you can actually do some dungeon crawling without needing to set aside four hours to get through it. Also, the rewards for the shards seem pretty decent. Sure, if you are a min/maxer you may not like every single piece of armor but for a normal player like me who only has a little bit of free time to play this expansion delivers.

Summary: One of the best
Comment: Although other games have gotten my attention recently, and I may soon move on, I've played EQ2 for almost the entire life of the game, and after trying many other MMO's out there, it's still one of the most fun. In addition to the normal adventuring and crafting, the phenomenon of house decoration is something not found in most other worlds. You laugh now, but just give it a try... having a cool appartment in game can easily become an obsession. :)

Summary: Awesome Online Game - A Must To Try
Comment: This is a huge product for the price when you consider you are getting 5 expansion packs included in this purchase. Consider that fact when other newer online games either only have one or none for similar or more cost. If you've never played Everquest 2 now is a great time to join in and experience its wonders. Beautiful landscapes, nice background music, a vast variety of lands to visit such as lush scenic green hills, deserts, underwater cities, civilizations in the sky, several floating asteroids in the depths of outter space (Bonemare), tunnels, caves, crystal caverns, huge haunted castles, haunted cities, etc. As for the variety of beasts you will find many to discover ranging from weird to very strange and bizzare; unlike other games that seem to limit their challenges to humanoid based creatures. And when it comes to battling giant beasts EQ 2 does it BIG. Their giants are really big as well as some of their epic creatures.
There are so many things to enjoy in this game. If you are one who appreciates a cool looking character with impressive armor then EQ2 is the place to be. The vast array of armor in this game is mind boggling and fantastic with plate armor really looking like metal. All the other materials are just as impressive such as leather, chain, and cloth armor. Their armor is not only realisstic looking but can also be very flashy with impressive designs, patterns, and many colors.
Serious gameplayers typically like to use some form of voice communiction (voice chat) while playing to coordinate their battles. Everquest 2 really comes through by providing a FREE chat communication feature that allows players to literally talk to one another while playing (provided your pc has a microphone and speaker). This is so convenient for those who have had to deal with figuring out how to use 3rd party chat products. Its easy to use and built right into the game interface.
Before you buy this game make sure your PC is up to the challenge. Check the system requirements and see where you stand. The cost of PC RAM is rather low cost these days so you should consider adding more if you need it. I think the recommended RAM is 1 gigs but most serioius players I know have at least 2 gigs. You will also need a good graphics card, one that at least supports Direct X 9 and has at leaat 256 megs of ram.
You may want to also check out some actual gameplay videos of Everquest 2 on YouTube. I would recommend seeing videos made by user name zonker61 which you can see at the below link:
