EverQuest II - Producer's Letter

In the EverQuest II - Producer's Letter SOE promises to make EQ2 more solo friendly. Applause all around for the good idea. And a bit of sceptiscism on their ability to deliver. Solo content isn't exactly the core competency of EQ2 up to now, just the opposite. A far too large proportion of the monsters is marked with one or two arrows up, indicating "group only". And as quests aren't labeled in any way, you often find yourself stuck in your soloing efforts, because the monster you want to kill is too hard, in spite of the quest being ostensibly for your level.

In the beta SOE has turned complete dungeons like Vermin's Snye from a solo-friendly place into a group-only place. Seems they noticed that these dungeons are deserted now. Or they simply noticed that the much solo-friendlier competition sold twice as many copies as they did.
