Just gonna say... Everquest 2 did it first, and did it better. Anyone and any class can be a panda, grind a bit of faction pick a clicky (4 different panda looks), unlimited charges and you too can be Kung Fu Fighting. Monks and Bruisers were in on Day 1 :P

I am seriously bummed that I have to miss this this year. :(   When the economy gets bad enough that I start missing things like THIS because I can't afford my subscription.....things have gotten harsh for the average American indeed.

 

You could always pay for the 'weekend warrior' style subscription.

 

All my characters are on the paid servers. So...I can't do the free server sub options unless I transfer a character and that's expensive...and then, I couldn't go back to the paid server. :( So sadly...gonna have to sit this year out, unless I just wanted to make a lowbie free character to just be able to do the event, but...kinda defeats my purpose, because I like the holiday stuff because of the cool things you can get for your house, and...my super awesome houses...are all on Everfrost.  /QQ

I think you are quoting the wrong person. I am not the one mentioning the FTP server.

 

here ya go they call it the Passport, it's a Veteran only option to pay: http://everquest2.com/get_the_game/passport

I hear EQ2X is going to have Beastlords /ducks

Frostfell was the worst, is the worst "Christmas in a MMO" that Ive ever encountered, horrid looking and completely out of context for the everquest2 world.

All MMO's take the holiday's and put their spin on them, there really is no need to say one is poor or one is great in such a Grump way. Tis the season to be a bit kinder to everyone no matter what game they play. Even I put down my anti WoW regalia for the holiday's.

Happy Holidays,

It's a Lynx actually, there are horns on the helm which give it a rhinoish appearance.

OMG.  Die already.  EQ2's story and game play is only fun and credible on PvP servers.  But that's where the problem lies.    The PvP game play is ridiculously out of control and balance as it reminds me of a hacked Battlenet Diablo server.  The PvP servers are full of unemployed, sour grape AA farmers that run around ganking quest geared levelers.

 

 

 

PvP is a very small minority of EQ2's playerbase.

It's the only server type in the game that gives it's "evil" and "good" story foundation any credibility or realism...and fun.  

There is 0 credibility in the PVP server as they have abolished the line between good and evil, there are good necromancers and evil paladins, no don't try to correct this with their evil counter parts. Upon completing the betrayal quest line those allignment specific classes do NOT have to convert thus blurring the lines of what makes their class good or evil. Also last time i checked the PVP server population was so low the players demanded a server merge because they ran out of folks to kill.

I've been playing on test and test copy alot with the new changes they've made and so far i've been very impressed with it, so far this has been pushed back many times which is kinda new they have taken to heart it seems what the players are saying and are waiting even longer to let this content go live. I'm really excited to try this out on live finally. Keep up the good work!

This is like a freakin train wreck... I just can't stop reading .  As far as which game is "better" goes, WoW and EQ2 (no i'm not bringing other MMO's into this as i've not played them). They are the same game with different graphical engines. Which game is superior??  IT DOESN"T $#*&IN MATTER!! Some people enjoy WoW others enjoy EQ2 and other games. I hear WoW and LoTRO both had expansions, congrats it's a larger player base! I hope you and you're MMO are happy with it, it'll make group and raiding more fun i hope. I myself, I'm gonna go play EQ2 and enjoy my slice of the MMO pie, it's getting bigger... for everyone.

I do want the "other point of view," however.

Either send me a mail here, or email me at empireof1 at mchsi dot com if you want to express your issues with the game. I want to read what you have to say for an upcoming article. End quote

Good luck, enjoyed the read.

Also took heart to send an email of my view, I hope it is informative.

Safe Travels in lands unfamiliar and may the storm father grant you clear sky.

I find that my necro does the best soloing, however i also am quite able with my main which is a 77 Fury. My ranger seems to do well, now that i've got some AA points pumped into him, being at lvl 9 you're just one step away from opening up a whole new door of abilites hang in there with your swash a bit longer :D

For best expansion..... Rise of Kunark.......someone did a time jump into the past :P

Ruins of Kunark for EverQuest 2 :D
