EQ2 Voiced By Hollywood Actors

An anonymous reader writes "Sony is going to have well known actors voicing major roles in its upcoming Massively Multiplayer Online Game. Christopher Lee is doing the voice for the Evil Lord Sir Lucan D'Lere, leader of the city of Freeport, and Heather Graham is doing the voice for Antonia Bale of the good city of Qeynos. An interview with Christopher Lee is also available on the Sony site." It will be interesting to see how this affects the fight between EQ2 and World of Warcraft, which are rumored to be coming out on the same day.

Re:WoW wins hands down

I was very excited about WoW until I found out two things:

1) They are implementing a rest system which rewards people for not working at the game. In otherwords, the people who are casual gamers should be able to keep up with the hardcore gamers. Sorry but there should be some reward for working your ass off. Instead, they reward you for slacking.

2) At launch, the servers are going to be localized to regions, so guilds that span the country or nations (as my old EQ guild did) will not be able to play together. This is utterly fucking rediculous...absolutely inconceivable. Once they announced that, I immediately lost all faith in Blizzard. I'm not even sure they'll be able to do D3 right at this point considering how big of a clusterfuck WoW is shaping up to be.

This pains me greatly as I'm a long time Blizzard fan but I guess their loss of some key personnel has really hurt them afterall. Either that or their mega-giant corporate owners are putting the screws to them. Either way, it's a very bad sign.
