Moving right along, PC.IGN has whipped up a review on Sony Online's massively multiplayer online RPG, EverQuest 2. Here's a bit on crafting in the game:

Kudos to EverQuest 2 for finally putting that great manufacturing conglomerate AFK out of business. Crafting is a bit more like combat now; opportunities come up and you'll have to react to the crafting process in real-time by performing key actions. Failure could lead to items of poor quality or catastrophic accidents that actually might kill your character. The crafting profession is like the other character classes now. It has its own experience bar and levels and even has its own character classes. As with the core classes, you can even specialize, opting to become a potion-brewing scholar or a skirt-sewing outfitter. Further specializations lie further down the crafter path. Since many of the raw materials are located in dangerous places, most successful crafters will have to supplement their skills with some real adventuring talent.
