I understand that I can pick up a copy of EQ2 and start gaming, but will I be missing out on features from the expansions? I'm not really sure if I should buy EQ2 aswell as all the expansions and adventure packs or wait and slowly buy the expansions + adventure packs as I progress. Briefly reading through some of the expansions and such, it doesn't really sound like i'll see much of them except for the achievement system come 20. If I do miss alot of features pre-20, how big will they be? So basically is it worth shelling out on all the expansions and adventure packs right away? How about prestige and influence? Will I beable to participate in PvP and gain these without the correct expansion? I'd appreciate any feedback, cheers.

You can buy echoes of faydwer (the latest expansion) for 30 or 40 bucks at your local best buy or eb games. This comes with all of the expansions and the original game. Do it. Although you cannot do this with the digital download. THen you will only get EoF. playing: darkfall waiting: earthrise

It's cheaper / a total steal to just get the Echo's of faydwar (boxed version digital download does not get you all the expansions) so you get all the expansions and the original game. It doesn't come with the adventure packs but i never really found the adventure packs that worth it. Please Refer to Doom Cat with all conspiracies & evil corporation complaints.

I suppose the achievement system is the biggest feature that you would need the expansion packs for. Othwewisem yeah you could just pick up the original EQ2 and start playing from there. But seriously, its like 40 bucks to buy the latest expansion EoF which comes complete with EQ2 and the 3 expansions all in one box. (retail purchase only not download)

They aren't required but why not buy the boxed set and get them all at once for a total of $40? My website is closed temporarily. Hopefully it will only be a short delay.
