  1. There are just too many problems with its core gameplay for it to be a worthwhile and enjoyable experience. In the end, Lords of EverQuest is a mediocre game in a sea of refined and polished strategy games.
  2. I spent the vast majority of the game sending units off into the darkness with little fear of death and all the tactics of a street brawl.

    One of the most standard, bland, monotonous, poorly done, and "easy money on paper" titles I've seen in quite some time.

    More than a Warcraft knock-off. A real treat and a new look at the way RTS's will be played.
