I f'ing hate robots. Never played with any of the kind as kid. I wouldn't call it traditional fantasy with big dumb robots on screen. I didn't have transformers, and I get a sinking feeling when I have to watch that movie again cause it's on TV. Regardless, I know there are robots in Everquest, but I dont' think it fits in with a fantasy theme. I had a fantasy themed wedding, and there were no robots.
Can you be a lizard? If not I'll chuck it in with the many deleted video games that I have tried over the years.
If anything I'd switch to Aion. That one seems to be the most fun, but I am not sure if it has a raiding aspect like Everquest does. That is the other part of Everquest that I enjoy the most.
Lizard
Raiding
People (I'd list people first, but they come and go!!!)
I stopped playing Dungeons and Dragons (you know, like the REAL one) partly because I couldn't play a lizard woman, a centaur or a fremlin anymore with the new books. Stoooopid! I am always a gnome in traditional books, and just no.
Please, don't make me play a gnome again! If it even remotely looks like WoW I'll just puke. That game looks as stupid as the new armor in Everquest. It's like some kid with crayons drew a picture of Gene Simmons.
I simply didn't like Everquest II cause I didn't see a decent raiding game (I think one did pop up) and I hated the way the characters moved. Something about it put me off. They whipped the Iksars down to simple villagers too. That's not what being a lizard is all about, seriously. If one has the opportunity to play some odd race, there has to be a good story behind why, and that toon shouldn't necessarily fit into society like a human would.
In Everquest II they do, right off the bat. Dungeons and Dragons on line? Bah, at best it's a self playing game not quite as good as Discworld. Actually, if all of my friends go away to Everquest Next and I don't enjoy it, maybe I'll get myself a copy of Discworld and play it instead. lol
Drow were all the debate when Unearthed Arcana came out in D and D. I knew people who refused to play D and D with me if I even acknowledged the Drow existence as a player character. They were the enemy that one dreaded to find in a dungeon. That's what a lizard should be.
From what I understand in Aion, the evil side can't even speak to the good side. That's awesome! I just don't know about years of killing farm animals.
I doubt any Everquest product would have something so cool. Too much customer feedback. Time will tell.
I'll see you at the raids in Everquest, where my character at least has her history.
I'd rather play this
