Gamespy EQ2 Preview

[Dolby]

Gamespy has just released their preview of Everquest II. There is a lot of great information. It looks like SOE has been working hard since Gamespys last preview of the game. I personally cant wait until the starts beta.

("Can't you just throw me back into the water?" squeaks a little Ratonga on the beginner's island, surrounded by monsters. "I didn't sign up for any of this!" he shrieks, voice breaking.) By the time the game is finished, cities will teem with life, populated by colorful characters around every corner.

You can read their new preview write up here.
You can also see some area tours (here) of Blackburrow, The Sunken City, The Caves, and more.

The pictures and videos just look amazing and it looks like the AI of NPC’s is going to be pretty good too. Make sure to check out video 41 The Grave yard, those skeletons are pretty darn scary looking.
