EQInterface Forums - View Single Post - PROTEST: Help Stop The Lords of Everquest Pop-Up Madness

I too took a look at the beta and I couldn't discern anything even remotely "revolutionary". It looks and plays exactly like most other RTS's out there and so far the only "revolutionary and innovative" aspect I've seen is the way in which they promote it.

Not only do we get the endless string of pop ups and in-game adds but they also play on our dedication to the original EQ by giving free playtime and a spot in the EQ2 beta if you buy the damn thing. Note how the reward is related to the original EQ game, and not to the RTS game, as if LoEQ is of secondary importance in and of itself and their main goal is to hawk off as many copies they can before people realize there's nothing "revolutionary" at all about it and promptly uninstall it.

Also, if thats how selective they are with their beta testers I fear to see how EQ2 will look upon release. If getting a copy of LoEQ is all you need to qualify as a beta tester...
