“A massive, nostalgic MMO with deep class variety, rich crafting, and sprawling zones that still feel alive. Its pace is cozy, its systems rewarding, and its world remains a comforting place to get lost in for hours.”
“I try newer games similar to this one but I keep coming back to play EQ2. It has to be something I give a good review. To justify my time spent playing it!”

“Opened a browser to a store page upon quitting the game. Never been put off a game so quickly before.”
“So far I am having a blast. Making levels is, and yes i'm going to use this word, insanely fast. I made 60 levels in no ♥♥♥♥...15 hours of agnostic dungeon farming. Agnostic dungeons are a fantastic way to play solo up…”

“they break stuff and take forever to fix it. no help from them at all. community is iffy if you're lucky”
“Great game for how old. However, the DEVs may as well be AFK. Despite tons of feedback no action on it is ever taken. Give it a try if they hire new dev team otherwise, might as well skip. Played way more than I want to…”

“in terms of mmo this game is almost perfect for what i look for in a sandbox mmorpg it's just a shame that the dev team is too small and way too disconnected from the playerbase some of their decisions they implement in…”

“A completely garbage and tedious expansion with awful quest and leveling design, Snore of Cthurath is not worth playing. I beg you, play anything else; even WoW in 2026 is better than this nonsense.”

“Grew up playing this, always been my #1 all-time favorite. For a game so old it's actually aged really well and still looks pretty and runs smoothly for the most part. Loads of content and classes and races to choose from so it's near impossible to run out of new stuff to do.…”

Slower gameplay is great for the social side and mercs are great for when you have to solo. The one thing is the graphics haven't aged the best, but that's…”

Here's a review from someone who has played the game for years up until 6 months ago. The game overall is dead, the company Day Break took over the game some years back and is a financial firm not…”
