The official Everquest 2 site is now open at this link. It includes a Frequently Asked Questions Section, a statement from John Smedley about the game and quite a few new screenshots. Here are some of the FAQ answers to questions that I have seen asked the most in these forums: When will EQII be released? Our anticipated launch date is 4th Quarter 2003. Can I transfer my characters that I created in the original EQ to EQII? Existing EverQuest characters will not be transferred to EQII. What are the game's requirements? Operating System: Windows 98/2000/ME/XP Processor: 733 mhz RAM: 512 MB Video Card: DirectX 8 compliant. Pixel shader and Vertex shader compatible hardware with 64mb of texture memory (eg: GeForce 3) Sound Card: DirectSound compatible audio hardware John Smedley also assured everyone that SOE does not plan on ignoring Everquest one and will continue to keep it going even after the launch of EQ2.
