Nobody was more shocked than me when I became addicted to EverQuest 2. Especially considering I did not like the original one at all, I was surprised to find myself logging in each night for just a couple more minutes of gaming. This of course led to a couple more minutes and then a couple more until hours had passed.

In about two weeks we are going to run a comparison review from reviewer Royce Brainard between EverQuest 2 and World of Warcraft. In that review he makes some valid criticisms of EQ2, like the high ratio of group monsters to solo ones which forces more dependency on groups. But criticisms aside for now, I wanted to explain why I love this game so much, and why I think others will too.
