EQ II Interview @ Gamers w/Jobs

There's a interview of Everquest 2's client lead Richard Baker on Gamers with Jobs where they talk about a few things to include beta and system requirements. As in Asheron's Call 2 EQ II will be a little more taxing than the original so if you have not upgraded in awhile it's time to head to fry's and get some new hardware.

GWJ: Finally, the question on a lot of minds is when the beta is expected to start and how gamers will be chosen. The benefit of doing a sequel is having a huge dedicated player base to draw from already, will current EQ players get first crack at the beta? How about the folks who run small but incredible influential gaming sites?

Richard: The main goal with the early beta will be to get feedback about the game play features so that we can make the EQ2 experience as fun as possible. It is a goal of ours to get a mix of players with less experience to test the earlier learning curve as well as getting more experienced players to test the higher level content.
