I can see where Wolfshead would have gotten confused and thought he needed the full name of the banker – the dialog text is incomplete given what you just showed us. A more apt dialog would read:

“Enter the name or profession of the NPC that you need help finding.”

That review is pretty silly. He seems to like to compare EQ2 to WoW a lot, but only when it works for his argument.

For example, he says that you should have all of the horse travel points in Gfay from the beginning and not have to run to each post. That’s basically how it is in WoW, you have to run to the outpost first and then you can get the flight point there and easily return. But then earlier in his review he was saying that Kelethin should be easier to navigate and cited Ironforge and, of all cities, The Exodar (which about 7 people use regularly) as examples.

The feeling I got from this review makes me think he assumes anyone trying out EQ2 is an idiot who won’t be able to figure anything out unless their hand is held. If EQ2 was someone’s first mmo, I could understand the confusion and feeling of being overwhelmed…but you’ll have that no matter what game you play.

I’m also not sure why someone is picking apart a game that’s almost 5 years old in the way he’s doing it. I’ve played WoW for 3 years and EQ2 for about 6 months over a year span. I’ve enjoyed both games, and they both cater to different audiences and play styles.

I think I need my own blog. =P

Doesn’t the map now have a drop down that you can select the specific point of interest you want to see… like bankers…

Or was i dreaming about feature i wanted in eq2….
