I’ve never been an EverQuest fan. Now this will hardly come as a surprise to those who’ve seen me post news stories and articles over the years, but for the sake of disclosure, it had to be said. EverQuest II thus never really interested me. Oh sure, the screenshots were pretty – but they looked soulless, like CGI from the mid-90s. There was no warmth to them, no character or personality. E3 – well, what can you show of an MMO at E3? Sony had a nice-looking canned presentation that could hardly satisfy my questions of “how much of a grind is it”. Asking a PR rep that question is akin to asking Karl Rove if George Bush has been a good President.
