You're bashing DAoC but suggesting EQ2? EQ has just as bad of a reputation of DAoC. Both are addicting but suffer in different areas. MMORPGs are about the people you play with -- there's not a perfect one out there and there never will be. You simply find an online community you enjoy and stick with it.

It doesn't matter what seems. What matters is what actually
is. I'm tired of people saying that various games (especially MMORPGs) suck without even playing them or reading a review worth a crap.

You can't expect game designers to make an online game that covers for a crappy ISP. If something spawned on top of you, then take up a sword and attempt to kick it's ass -- if you can't, you'll die. That's not a fault of any game...the enemies have to get there somehow.

Better everyone vote for the biggest candidates than not vote at all!
