[QUOTE=MariyaShidou;33221]The reason why you never see people reference EQ2 is because, despite EQ success, EQ2 got killed by *cough* the other MMO released in that year, and today it has become F2P. Plus it never reached 350k sub in its life.

There is at least 1 server that has 350k on it alone.. I dont think you have all of the facs there.. and yes it has a free to play server but the other servers are still alive and kicken, and the reason it wasn't a great success is because like FFXIV it was released unfished. AT any rate it has become a fun game, as will FFXIV in good time.
