good lord, $70? that sounds a bit steep for an xpac

Why do the graphics get worse? It's like they're rushing zones and putting less effort into them. I remember playing the Island thing with the boat when the game came out and that had nice looking textures and water and the boat ride was so kool and looked great. All the new zones lack personality and just feel like they're rushing them out.

Unlike most other MMOs, EQ2's releases contain every interation along with the name on the box.  This means you get the base version of the game along with RoK, EoF, and TSO all for 1 price.

just another rhino'ish mount?

I was expecting they would come up with some thing more creative/new.....

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

Yeah look at the big picture and notice two things

its a big kitteh with sort of a beard

it has fuzzy junk

i looked closely

I am amazed. . . .you guys play EQ and you don't know what THAT is? You must have forgotten your roots in the old days when you were young and had to adventure in Thundering Steepes. . . .let me refresh your memories.

THAT my dears is a HIGHLAND STALKER which is what the BIG cats are called out there. Mainly the LIONS. . .  .that is most likely a female as it doesn't look to have a mane.

I am ashamed of you all. . . . .(sighs shaking head and wanders back to corner)

Why are Eve expansions free? The base game and the expansion for 70? That is F'in crazy talk.

LOTRO's Collector's Edition expansion pack sold well, so look forward to this being rather commonplace in the near future. NA Developers just found out something that the East has known for years - people will pay ridiculous amounts of cash for virtual hats, mounts and pets.

Female???

why does it have a boy bump?

look at it.

Sure, it's an original looking mount for the game, but it has a lousy 50% run speed. I feel sorry for anyone willing to spend $70 just for the mount, the base expansion pack that is $40 comes with the entire base game/other expansions as well. The CE is clearly for people with too much money on their hands or just no brains.

I stand corrected. . . . .but it is still a Highland Stalker from Thundering Steepes. . . . .
