While EverQuest II does much to push the expectations forward with a dazzling visual and audio presentation, the reliance on outdated game mechanics serves to drag the game back down. EverQuest II has a number of basic design flaws that other massively multiplayer games have recognized and done away with, but Sony Online Entertainment continues to rely on with baffling stubbornness.
