I took advantage of the recent free play time for old subscribers and found out my account was hacked or something. All my stuff was missing including my 500+ house items. I spent tons of hours building that house the way I wanted. Fortunately they were able to roll back my character but unfortunately they do not save houses so for them to restore my house, I'd have to know the name of every single item in it. So I give them credit for the rollback but hated the fact that they don't save houses.

The biggest problem was that the server my main toon was on, is practically a ghost town. I had lots of great memories in EQ2 (was a hardcore raider back in KoS/EoF/RoK days) but I've said "goodbye" to my toon. I may go back someday but chances are low. Lastly, I wanna give extra credit to the GMs, they were so much faster then a recent ticket to NCsoft was.

I find that near the end of an expansion, before the begining of a new one, the servers of most MMO's tend to dwindle as players who have gone through the prior expansions content take a break or stop playing untill the newly announced expansion is out. EQ2's been around for over five years so in that time players have done a good deal of the content and are hungry for more, but this sort of pulse of players is normal among all MMO's even WoW.

Typo:

Those inhabitants appear to be the Erudin 

Erudites, not Erudin.

My account was hacked as well several EQ versions/updates ago as well.

I contacted EQ ASAP and received the typical run-around which basically required me to show reams of proof that I am not a Liar. I wrote back, stating that I had a dedicated ISP and alll they had to do was check, even furnishing my ISP number.

All Customer Service had to do was check. But nooooo.

Thanks for all the Fish! Sheesh...

You mean IP address?
Of course you must give proof. They aren't going to fall for a liar and give your account information away. That is the reason you are contacting them.
People really need to learn how to make strong passwords.
Don't use words readily found in a dictionary. Use a mix of capital letters, special characters (><./'!&...), and numbers, and be no less than 8 characters long.

and never use the same username and PW in a game as you use for internet forums or E-mail !!  

I was previously tempted to resub for this expansion, but after having looked at the available screenshots i have little to no interest now.

I know this is a shattered Norrath, but what is the purpose of revisiting old lands if there is NOTHING recognizable from it's glorious past?

Yeah don't use the same password for your guilds forum (in any MMO), have a fallout with the guild or the guild leader or webmaster is an asshole and they steal your game account. I believe that is how my EQ2 account was comprimised and it was a stupid mistake to do. This was years ago and I am alot more security minded now and I have random passwords with numbers/letters for each game account I have now.
