This kind of snuck up on me, but [today](http://everquest2.station.sony.com/#home) is the day!

Let’s hope today goes much better than the Star Wars: Galaxies launch. I want to be able to come home today after picking up my reserved copy and get right into the game.

Can you give me a little review in a day or two? I’m in the market for a MMORPG but I’m veering towards World of Warcraft… bearing in mind I missed EQ1…  
Cheers

After playing EQ1 for 3+ years and beta testing both WoW and EQ2, I’ve come to the very easy conclusion that I won’t be buying EQ2. It’s just WAY too much like EQ1.

WoW is my game. Go Blizzard!
