MMORPG.com's Adele Caelia recently submitted some questions from EverQuest II players to the game's developers. Today, we present three of the company's answers. Remember to check back next week for more.

Dear Devs,

I would like to know if there is any hope for graphical revamps for EQII. Specifically in regards to adding support for features like dual core, as well as upgrades to the graphics themselves. Unfortunately, it's been over three years now, some of the environment textures are not looking so hot and the sky could definitely use a revamp. [I] would just like to know if this is possible or not.

Read the whole thing here.

Cheers,
Jon Wood

Why did she give the devs two of the nearly same questions? Mine would have been alot better than a second "Hey you going to update the graphics engine lol."

Mine is, are they still going to update the models, and do something about Soga? And, are you going to be bringing Erolissi back soon or at all? But of course its too late now...

I did read second question was hoping they will answer finally to missing shadow questions.

Duh no luck

 

And for so many MMOs on marked those from SOE have biggest problems with "broken" NVidia drives, and poor SOE need to develop workarounds.

 

Now how unfair toward SOE it is  !

I was curious also why two graphical questions were asked? However it is a pretty big issue, expecially for an 8800 user like myself. Its hard to believe that EQ2 still crawls and stutters on some of the newest systems. I installed AOC and run everything maxed at high resolution and it runs like a champ! (looks better in every aspect also)

Oh well, my days of EQ2 have finally come to a close.

I submitted all questions that were sent to me within a reasonable time after the request. The devs were great and answered all of them, so more letters will be posted:) Keep checking back:)

Thanks again SOE for taking the time to write back to the players!

Laugh it up, fuzzball!

Yes, all in all pretty dissapointing those answers. I do understand them, but it doesn't help that it, well, doesn't help.

Just yesterday I completely purged one of my 2 accounts, I am only holding on the 2nd one out of nostalgia. But somehow I doubt I would go back (for very long). Too bad, I enjoyed it while it lasted.

These EXACT questions were asked and answered about 3,000 times on the official EQ2 forums (which is accesible to non paying customers)

You guys should have looked there first before asking those questions.

Again, these were not questions asked by MMORPG.COM. These were letters submitted by the community and for the community. All letters were submitted.

Sorry, I hadn't heard any answers as to when or how long or if the skeletal revamp is going to take place, can you fill us in on what the answer to that question was?
