    his system is ok, sure you can put more ram in and sure he can go to a higher Dual Core. But the thing is he doesn't have to. So I'm betting it's a software problem. Mess around with some setting like some have suggested, maybe update/downgrade graphics driver. But simply if the setting tweaks won't work contact tech support.

    
     

    Agree with this.  I thought I read somewhere that EQ2 isn't even coded to take advantage of dual cores, let alone quad.  I'm sure that upgrading to a quad just because "doood!!  4x CPU are better than 2!!!" isn't going to help performance-wise.  Faster CPU will help, the game does like a fast processor.  But it won't take full advantage of the quad CPUs .

  • Shadows always kill my framerates.  Drops them down below 20-30.  Make sure to turn those off and you will see a good improvement. 

    With that setup you should easily get 40-50+ fps in most areas, though you may still have to cut back on some settings when there are lots of people and effects going on around you.

  • Way to go, man.  Grats on taking the final step, that isn't an easy thing to do.  Even if technically SOE killed your characters long ago, it's nice to make it official.  =D

• • Thinking of giving EQ2 another (trial) chance

  • You should definitely contact SOE customer service of some sort to see if they will give you a refund for the exp packs.  That's quite a bit of money to spend on something that was already active on your accounts.  They shouldn't charge you for the expansion just because you weren't aware of the promotion that is currently going on.

    It would be really difficult for them to refuse you a refund, imo.  If they did, that's pretty shady of them.

    Just for future reference, here's the Wiki for "Standing Ovation."    I think that's the phrase you're going for.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_ovation

    I agree, great post, just wanted to point that out.
