just reactivated my account aswell, and loving it!

EQ2 is still my only reall true love

the comments on the bug fixes were hillarious, nice writeup

It sure sounds interesting. But, for me EQ2 is a closed chapter, like an ex love. I never will forget the sheer pain and loneliness in my last try to play it again, when I was ALWAYS alone, and the endless hours of shouting LFG LFG! and none cared rats ass, and you just COULD NOT do anything real, because in the typical EQ2 way EVERYTHING was in quest lines and finding people on the same quest was night to impossible. And of course nothing of interest was ever soloable. I never felt so forsaken than in my last EQ2 attempt, because unless you have many connection with players and daily scheduled gaming routines, you can FORGET doing ANYTHING in EQ2.

NO WAY.

yeah eq2 is my true love too.

BUT ... its $oE so i don t resub ... they hurt me too much in the last years.

back in the days my illu was a cc machine .. nowdays hes in top5 on the dmg meter lolz

no one needs my assassin cause my swash does nearly the same dmg , but he has pew pew debuffs we all like.

oh wait i can play my dirge , but i quit my dirge after the dof expansion , so i have to grind from 60 to 90 with no items no quests no aa .. not great.

and both german servers are ghost towns.

The german servers are not ghost towns, far from it, Innovation is less populated but Valor is well off, I play often so I know. And since last year EQ2 has become very solo friendly too. I just learned yesterday from a guildie how to solo heroic mobs with adds as a Troubadour . That strategy never ever appeared to me but heck, I'm a casual player and almost solo all the time if not playing with guildies or friends. And I'm only level 70 and don't even own TSO so have no AAs in its line which has a lot of impact obviously.

Making it from level 32 to 70 in 1.5 years with very little playtime the first year (2-3 hours a week maybe) and only grey content ... you have no idea how fast one can level in EQ2 meanwhile. And you can drain all your XP gain into AA as well, there is a slider to define the ratio.

So you are saying for example, that the mostly solo quest line in Everfrost for the has nothing of interest? There is so much solo content in EQ II now that is actually can be annoying to not be able to find a group, especially when the game, JUST LIKE OTHER OLD MMOGs, is old enough to have many people at the level cap. The AB server is supposed to have a range of people, I suppose because of the RP aspect (isn't it a one-character only server?).

Instead of shouting LFG, did you LFG in chat channels? Did you LFM or "Starting xxxx group, send tells"? So many people expect others to invite them, without doing the work themselves, so many stand around LFG expecting the other LFG people to invite them.

Did you try a different server? Did you have a guild of like-minded players of similar play times and levels?

Sony Online Entertainment has nothing to do with the placement of product in your local gaming stores. They make deals, and if the company doesn't want to stock it on their shelves, then they don't. You can always order online if you want a box copy, or go to that store and ask if they will order it for you.

Im tempted to come back, I did love Norrath for most of teen and up years. I suppose I could get the station pass since Vanguard is quite fun at times and EQ1 will be back in the mix too! I was actually just looking at EQ1 starter pack with 15 expansions in one bundle for 19 dollars. I suppose if I do return, Ill get that too.

You're making me wanna fire up my EQ2 account again. I still stand by my assessment that EQ quests had the most interesting story-lines of any MMO I have played. Hell, EQ1 epic quests were TRULY epic.

Yeah agreed, I often miss the EQ universe, EQ1 was my first real MMO =(

Might have to check this out,  I've never felt like i earned something in an MMO more than when I finished my magician epic weapon quest, lol.
