Interestingly, the new game incorporates many of the improvements that other MMO games have made in the five years since EverQuest was originally released. Many of these new ideas make EverQuest 2 a stronger game but still one that most MMO fans will find very familiar. That's no surprise; time was when profits from a successful game were used to underwrite riskier projects. These days it's hard to imagine Sony looking at the half-a-million fans of EverQuest and thinking, "Let's try something different next time around." While EverQuest 2 is surely one of the most impressive MMOs you can play, it's strengths are more refined than revolutionary.
