Hello everyone. I was thinking about purchasing EQ2. I have been looking into the game and it looks like it's made some great strides including a superb community. I'm excited to get my account going, but I have a small dilemma. I probably will only have time to play this throughout the summer, I tend to have no time for gaming during college. So I was wondering which expansion I should buy, I don't play enough to hit the level cap over just one summer so is it worth buying the newest expansion Echoes of Faydwer at $42.90? or just start out with Kingdom of Sky at $25.48? (pricegrabber). The only thing that I thought of that could help was if I did decide to play after the summer the new expansion Rise of Kunark will be coming out and I can just buy that expansion which will include EoF.
Should I be safe and buy KoS because I probably won't even hit most of the content in EoF this summer and save $17? Or the newb content in EoF is THAT important and definitely worth the extra money? Thank you :) EDIT: Ok so I included everything I went through from what to purchase, what server to put my char, what are some good classes to play that I found (the coercer part is biased towards my style but you should find out what is good for you anyways  ), and lastly the answer to the infamous patching problems with vista at the launcher. Hope this helps everyone else starting too! |

As I understand it EoF comes with all expansions, all littl eingame bonuses for each of them, it's only a few more $, may as well do it...

Yes eof has all the x-pacs and you have to remember that one of the aa trees comes only from eof so it is worth it imo |

Your best bet would be to buy the EoF retail box that includes all previous expansions (the digital download is ONLY EoF, despite being the same price). It's usually around $40, which is the best value if you want to buy all the content. Buying the expansions separately will cost you twice as much.

Again thanks for your help!
Oh! I see what it is now. Yeah I will definitely get the EoF one. Also, I was under the impression that I wasn't getting a free 30 days with the pack and after reading some old posts I see that I do. So I don't have a problem spending the extra few bucks. Ok, so after reading a lot of the old posts it conjured up some new questions that were only vaguely answered in the posts I've found. I see AB is widely considered the best server to join, but I'm not sure what type it is (pvp/pve/rp). I'm not sure whether or not to join a RP or a PvE yet, but which would be best to join for RP and which for PvE? Obviously a good community and easy to find groups would be nice! Also as for class, I generally choose what others do not. I enjoy playing classes that are a little harder to play and always needed for groups. I don't like playing pure melee classes either. From the looks of it in previous posts I like Monk, Conjurer, Coercer, Necromancer, Bard, and Fury so far. Any recommendations? |

If you want to play a harder class then your probably after the good old crowd controller (Coercer or Illusionist). |

Originally posted by ZidaveyAB is the most popular server right now, and it's an RP server, though from my understanding a lot of people are OOC on there at all times. As for classes, if you want something no one else wants to play, pick either a bard (dirge, troub) or an enchanter (coercer, illusionist). There are plenty of monks, conjurers, necros, and furys. Coercers are a great class if you take the time to learn how to play, and wait until they get some of their better skills. |

Awesome! Thank you very much for your help! Especially knowing that the class and/or server questions are always in abundance on the forum lol.  So it seems that a Coercer on AB is the general concensus for me. Easy to fin | |
