Everquest II

Is it still worth playing?

I've been looking for a decent alternative to WoW, and I was thinking of trying out EQ2. However, if it has gone down the metaphorical tubes, then it's really not worth my time.

So, Escapists, what do you think?

EDIT: If not, how about DDO? I've been dabbling in it since it went FTP, but it just seems so hacky-slashy (I play rogue)

EQ2 is still my favorite PvE game, it has a TON of content and lots of people to group up with on dungeon runs.

They are changing or adding a new style to the game to basically make it free to play unless you want the latest expansion or something like that. I usually subscribe to EQ2 around Halloween until and thru the new year until I get sick of it but they have the best holiday events by far.

Huh. Idk, I've played WoW for ages, and it's starting to get old. I suppose I'll give EQ a trial, although I'm not sure how the upper-level stuff is holding on either.

I didn't care for EQ2, I played EQ and WoW. I liked EQ1 better and after playing WoW and then trying EQ2 just felt like a rough WoW clone with an EQ skin.
