Like many I view any product SOE produces with trepidation at the best of times. I don’t hold any burning hatred close to my heart like some however, if a game is good I can usually see past whoever may be publishing and developing it. Having quit playing WoW a couple months ago I approached the EQ2 beta with fresh eyes ready to take it as it is rather than directly how it compares to Blizzard’s baby. We will get into that eventually, but not today.
