Not anymore it's not. Maybe between Jan 2007 to Fall 2008 or whenever they killed the population it was EQ 2 1/2 beta. Now it's meh, all the charm is gone and the post 50 game is dull.

Vanguard is fucking awesome now. If the population increased it would be the best MMO.

I'm "almost" over the fact that EQN has 0 to do with EQ.

Oddly enough I was thinking that SOE could have gotten away with (almost) murder, if they'd just kept the lore closer to the original. Destructible world, MOBA classes, etc. If they'd just kept the lore - shadowknights worshiping Innoruuk, etc.

Alternatively, the could have kept the classes & etc. from EQ and just massively changed the lore (EQ in a new world, sorta what Brad tried with VG) and that would have worked as well.

But the problem is the quoted part: there is just too little connection with the original game. SOE is making the same mistake with EQN as it did with EQ2 -- too little connection to the original.

SoE just doesn't care about the folks who made EQ successful. It's all about mass appeal. It's sad but true.

Starting cities now down to three, original items are out-stated by all the new stuff, Hunter's questline & etc. APW is too low level for the level 55s.

Edit: But if you enjoy it as it is, more power to you.

Still find it fun. Don't play hardcore and you won't be upset. It's not that type of MMO anymore. Enjoy it.

As time goes by fewer and fewer gamers will have a connection to the original EQ, no matter how hard SoE tries or how much we wish. Those days are gone forever. Hopefully they create a product that gives us new and awesome memories.

They need to fill up 40 classes. Ninja, in some form, will be in there.

With 40 old school classes, you might have a point. With 40 classes that only have 2 different weapons, 1 type of armor, and 4 class abilities; shit, I could do that in an evening. Take a look atthis listand you have more than 40 class titles to choose from. Then give them a theme, like shadows, fire, nature, blah, blah, blah, and use that to make their abilities. Then assign them two out of maybe 16 different weapon types. Finito.

Ninja's and guns are cool, but I don't want that shit in a high fantasy game like EQ. That's like adding tricorders to a wild west themed game.
