This is post about Everquest 2.

Still here? I'm shocked, and I'll reward your dedication with information.

I have an ever growing suspicion that I will soon be done with EQ2. I've reached a sort of plateau. The expansion came out, what, 2 months ago? and already I'm soloing (playing my one character without a group) a zone that is designed to be handled by groups of at least three end-game characters.

Or to put it in EQ2 parlance, I pwn fase. Bow before me nub.

It's a challenge, and it's fun, but it's also a little anti-climactic. It took me months when the last expansion came out to feel like I got a lot out of it, but this only took me weeks. I've noticed among some of the people I regularly play with a growing dissatisfaction, and an anxiousness to find something else more satisfying, more challenging - something new. I suspect that in a couple of weeks, when Vanguard gets released, a lot of the people I enjoy playing EQ with are going to be gone, and I'm thinking I might just join them. After all, as a game Everquest isn't that great. What makes it enjoyable are the people you play with. If those folks are gone, well, I'm not going to pay $14 a month to solo zones all night.
