Subject: Re: EQ Slowly Dying?


Come winter of 2000 I will be playing Never Winter Nights.
www.neverwinternight.net (or .com)
It's a DM-able Baldur's Gate style game that is fully customizable by
the host DM. It's gonna blow EQ away in terms of flexibility and
playability. Once this game comes out, I will never play EQ again.
