Hi Everyone- I got questions...

[Icefeather]

I been reading the forums for a while but this is my first post. My boyfriend and I were talking about EQ today and it got me wondering about EQ2. We loved EQ1 but we left it due to restraints the game had and we just hesitate doing taking another chance on EQ2 due to the previous restrictions we had on EQ1. So here are my questions-
1) Are spawned creatures the same in EQ2? As in do i have to wait in a dungeon with 15 other people just to see if I have a chance of getting a specific item that may not even drop?
2) Are pets a huge "statis" symbol again? Where only the most hard working elites get a pet?
3) EQ1 had so much for the power gamer but the casual gamer either had to get guild left overs or invest in buying game cash off of the internet. Which I think is rather rude since most people out there who have a life play sporatically and can't just spend thier entire day playing.

I ask these questions and hope they are answered. I speak for all the stay at home mothers and fathers as well as the casual gamer who can't devote entire days/weeks waiting for that special mob or that one drop to happen to them. I used to watch my bf go out of his mind trying to get that one elite item only to have to log out to do something with the family, only to log back in and find the creature had spawned and he had to wait another 2-3 days for it to happen again. Don't get me wrong, we love the game, but its not realistic in the sense of real life takes priority over a pixal.
