Is EQ really that good now? I quit around PoP... the PvP was a joke before then and probably still is now. Ever tried killing a pally or an enchanter as a wizard? They just mez you for 5 minutes or stun you over and over then LOH. It was just stupid to see the utter lack of balance at that point in time. Then the AA system.... don't get me started on the farm fest that was. Even raiding.... needing 90 or more people for content....... I guess you mostly just PvP. Which with 24 people would be a gib fest. But I still see EQ as a dying game. They just don't have the income to justify the kind of expansion of content or balancing of the game that to me would be required for a fun gaming experience. Further, the game is difficult if not impossible to radically change so every update is more of a polish than radical improvement.

All that said though, if one is appropriately geared and leveled, it could be fun. Same with UO of course. But it still has innate issues - of which one of the most critical is the lack of overall subscription base.
