EQ2 is a tragedy because when I played the trial, the RPG elements to it seemed kind of cool, but the engine made me feel like I was driving a broken down old truck. The thing runs terribly, I have a feeling it's amazingly unoptimized. I don't usually get upset about art, either, but in this case each scene feels like it was patched together, you have places where textures meet other textures that don't match abruptly (like trees that appear to be just driven into the ground by some guy with a huge hammer) or where the same texture and lighting is used for everything, which reminds me of how Doom looked (Freeport starting area). I think they need to throw this out and start over again with something that has a consistent visual style and runs above 30FPS everywhere on hardware that has been out for a few years.
