  EverQuest II Review - 8Dimensional
Many things in EverQuest II can be seen in two ways, as simply a nice feature or something to make an addiction more likely and of course I will interpret them all just as nice features in this case.
There is no PvP combat in EverQuest II and there a no plans to add one as far as I know.
A lot in Everquest II could still change, so for example a large part of the spell and crafting system changed in the last days of the beta.

 EverQuest II preview, looking at the upcoming MMO sequel from Sony Online - UGO.com Games
There are many reasons I've avoided EverQuest for this long, but the list is sure to get much shorter when EverQuest II releases later this year.
The developers want the players to understand the world and their choices before they made them, and the delay is a way of aiding that.
The difference, however, is that EverQuest II takes place 500 of years after the events of the original game, so new buildings in the original might look rustic in the sequel.

 The Entertainment Depot - PC / Mac / Console Gaming : PC - Reviews - EverQuest II
Ultima Online kicked off the new breed of online role-playing titles, but it was EverQuest that ended up taking the mantle and becoming the watermark that all predecessors would be judged against and strive to become better than.
It was the definitive leap for the genre, mimicking life like no other game before it, comparable to when silent films became talkies; it was the pinnacle of online role-playing at the time.
EverQuest 2 is a continuation of that model, and though it's arguably just an updated version of the original, I found it to be a very rich and entertaining experience.

 Everquest II: Desert of Flames: Review -- Strategy Informer
The sound in Desert of Flames is definitely game-fitting.  While the characters on the Island of Ro aren’t very talkative, animal noises prevail, making for a very real experience.  The Arabian style music that fills the air fits in exceptionally well with the arena in which you are playing.
Many game-play changes have been made in Desert of FlamesClasses were radically changed and monsters were made more difficult.  In order to make the game more playable the level range has also been increased.  The level cap is probably the most significant change, which is a good asset for advanced players.
In EverQuest II: Desert of Flames players will encounter many quests, live environments, interesting and difficult characters, and many unforgettable adventures.  With good graphics, fitting sounds, and a high-level of game-play, EverQuest II: Desert of Flames has hit the mark in both solo and player vs. player combat.
