1)When will everquestII be sent out to the prerelease buyers?

A lot of people are saying that Nov. 15th-17th are the release dates that you'll start seeing it in stores. Nothing is confirmed though, as the devs are just saying "2004" as a release date. Game stores always have a few wrong release dates - take Doom III for example.

2)How good would the game run on this computer?
Pentium 4 2.4 GHz
1024ddr ram 2700

From what I hear, it will run pretty good. I have the Starter Disk and it runs well on my system which is considerably worse in specs than yours (besides maybe the vid card) and it runs great. I wouldn't expect to have to upgrade that system just yet to accomodate EQ II.

3)I would like to know if there is like a yearly fee you can pay beside monthly for cheaper?

There always has been in the past. I would put platinum on it that there is this time around as well.

The rest of your system stats look good, but this one is a big question mark. Your card could do great or it could be a piece of junk not worthy of the various heaps that litter Blackburrow.

To check what graphics card you have, click Start, click Run, and type

dxdiag

and click OK. Click on the Display tab and check the Name under Device. Should say "Radeon XXXX". If the XXXX is less than 9600, you should consider upgrading the graphics card. Post the name here and we should be able to tell you how badly you need to or whether you're good with what you have.

I highly doubt he needs to upgrade.

Unless of course he wants the ultimate game experience... in which case we're all screwed because no one should have a computer able to handle EQ2 at full specs. They built it that way on purpose, so like our machines, it will grow with the times. I personally admire their decision to do that.

I doubt he -needs- to upgrade either, but the details on his video card do leave a little room for worry, because, if I'm not mistaken, that could date back to a 9200.

I believe they started making the 8500 with 128 megs of vid ram.

While the 8500 could run it... I would definatly not suggest it.

you should be ok for now.. We don't know if you can pay yearly or not,I imagine there will be 3 options..

Monthly
Every 3 months
Every 6 months..
