EverQuest II Post-Release Impressions

GameSpot is offering up some hands-on impressions of Sony’s EverQuest II, now that the game is available to the public. The article is very short, but provides a few comparisons to the game’s beta test. Check it out:

Character creation hasn’t changed much since the beta. Like in the beta, you choose from the game’s 16 fantasy races, the 16th of which (the frogloks), has yet to be revealed. Like in the beta version of the game, you can choose a male or female, then you can choose various facial features and hairstyles for him or her, in addition to being able to tweak your character’s general size and build. You can then choose whether your character is “good” or “evil” in alignment, which determines, among other things, the main city from which he or she will eventually base an early career. For instance, Qeynos is home to good characters, while Freeport is home to evil characters.
