Shaman will get their talent review in 1.11

[Rinnhart]

I'll plead inexperiance - this is the first MMORPG I've spent any real time with.  But I've heard a LOT of people say others are at least as bad if not worse.

And as far as the pace of the patches... EQ2 has apparently introduced sooooo much new content it streached their player base out too thin to play it all, and they had to consolidate servers to get enought people in one place to do the quests.

And that's _their_ spin on it... it just might be that their sucky game is having a hard time keeping enough people around to play the game.

By tame I refer to their "one patch every couple months" routine.

I wouldn't call bull#$%& on the EQ2 bit without playing it, personally. EQ2 has a fairly stable player base, but Sony Online Entertainment as a whole is failing.

EQ 1 was/is an absolutely huge game world and the rate at which content was produced was staggering. Every six months, a dozen new zones, new small group dungeons, new raid content, new forms of character advancement, and new itemization - including new spells. At the game's peak in terms of popularity, and this was content being designed for enormous volumes of people and huge raid forces without the benefit of instancing (until very late in the game's life). And that's just expansion content, tons of features and tweaks were done à la carte.

As for the quality- all MMO's have patching problems. It's part of the game. :shuriken:
