This is the first time I have played a massive multiplayer game online. EverQuest 2 looks fairly new and different from the first one. My character looks like a warrior who is ready to battle many monsters and enemies in town. He is not that tall but he can do many things with his weapons. I have picked this character because he is very powerful and can create spells with his swords from time to time. The impression I believe this character will make is being smart about the choices he makes in the mountains. He will probably scare other players away because of his appearance. I also believe that he will fight well with others in the game world. From the first time playing, he doesn’t seem like an extrovert in the world because characters don’t walk up to him and speak. They just walk away. I do have some control over motion with the way he walks. Some of the buildings are unlocked and I can just walk in one of them. So interacting with certain huts is a benefit for me. I went in one of these huts and saw a place full of weapons and accessories. This environment is a little less responsive to me because I could speak to characters but I don’t engage in a long conversation. Communication in EverQuest 2 is at a low level for me right now.
I have traveled to a place that looks like a jungle. There are trees everywhere with some open land. Over here, there are more characters to interact with than the first world I started in. For instance, I talked to some people and they wanted me to join a guild. I said that I am working on it. I only fought one monster in this world but, it was a scary experience for me. Frightened and curious, I killed him using a sword. This is going to be fun for me and it seems like a good area to learn how to kill monsters with low level status. Most of the objects like cases and boxes were easy to move. I had a good time communicating with other groups and I got to meet a prince who was impressed with my skill level. Everything is great in this game world right now for me. It will get a little complicated later on once I move to other areas.
This was a very interesting post for me to read, as you are describing it with an entirely pristine perspective to the MMO world. I'll be interested to find out how the experience shapes out for you once you make your presentation.
