As I mentioned in my previous post on the Warhammer Elite Leveling Guide, I am now back into playing an MMORPG. It has been about a year since I was actively playing Everquest 2. Everquest 2 is still my favorite video game, but there is only so much time I can play the same game without getting bored. So, for probably about a year or two Warhammer Online will be my game. Having said that, Everquest 2 is still a great game and if you have not played it you should. Additionally, Everquest 2 is packed with tons of cool game mechanics and content that more MMORPG developers should steal from.
So, here is my list of things Warhammer Online should steal from Everquest 2.
1. Collections - When you explore a zone in Everquest 2, you come across little questionmarks that you can pick up. Each of these questionmarks contains a collectible item that you add to your collections and once you complete the set, you can turn them in for experience. I really find this collections to be a fun diversion when you are running from place to place. There is always something to look forward to.
2. Harvesting - I love Everquest 2’s harvesting system. I love running around and harvesting nodes in the hope of getting a rare material. Even if I am not going to use this rare item to make something, I love being able to sell it on the Everquest 2 broker.
3. Treasure Chests - I wish that when rare items dropped from monsters in Warhammer Online a treasure chest would pop. It is very exciting to get a treasure chest in EQ2. Additionally, there are different types of treasure chests the signify how great the items are. This is just more fun.
I am sure that I will think of a lot more things than just these three. I will update this list as I think of more. What do you wish that Warhammer Online would implement from your favorite MMORPG?

I have never played Everquest 2. But after your this review I will start playing everquest 2 very soon.
I only bought warhammer last week and guess what, I am hooked! I may break the record of the amount of hours spent on this game haha
I didn’t care for EQ2 much, but I did like the collections and harvesting.
I never heard of treasure chests. Maybe that was new in the expansion? I stopped playing before that came out.
i haven’t played everquest ever since, i stayed away from it for no particular reasons, this post makes me think it’s worth checking out…
Not familiar with EVQ2 but the collections wouldn’t be a bad idea, I could use the experience part of that,lol. Good post.
With the life span of the modern MMORPG, I am sure some more features from the likes of EQ 2 will make it to WAR within an expansion or two.
I do hope to see some shameless picking of good elements from EQ and EQ2. In music and in MMORPG creation, the saying is true: “Good artists borrow, great artists steal.”
