"How is the frame rate for you? I've read several reviews that have been highly critical and how poorly the engine runs, especially considering it doesn't look nearly as good as other games that run better."

EQ2 looks pretty impressive to me. I was having framerate issues when I first got into Qeynos. My PC had 512Megs, and I up it to 1gig and the problems went away (seemed liked the game was hammering the hard drive a lot until then).

I'm enjoying EQ2. Not terribly interested in WoW: Battle.Net was not the bastion of security, and, truthfully, I don't really trust Blizzard that much because of those problems.

Still, I'll see how WoW goes. But got too many games as it is.
