Everquest II

My suggestion would be to join a guild. The population in EQ2 isn't very big but its a pretty good community. I have groups running every night without issue. Everyone has been willing to help. Your reputation is actually relevant in a smaller community so you have people less likely to act like douchebags.

I'm having a blast, been playing a little over a month. If you do decide to sub/play, just let me know.

Well I can't play there cause I have a free account but thanks I wil hit you up if I decide to sub. If I do, it's likely to be some time down the road when I have more time to invest...

What server are you on? The inlaws are coming this week for about 2 weeks, but I may be able to play after, depending on what server we are on. I have a level 90 Paladin. My wiz may be 90 too. I think my Brigand is still 80 though.

I made a character on every server just to find people to play with. I think my characters are resting on Halls of Fate, though. Seemed to have the least idiots/best pop when I was on.

I was on Antonial Bayle with Mistwalkers. Switched to another server (I think?) and was raiding against the Avatars. Definitely brought back memories because of slow loading zones. I thought Echoes of Faydwer was an amazing expansion.

I am going to have to see what server I'm on, haha. I'll try to check later tonight.

Edit: lol whats up with my Avatar? LA? Is that just some default one or something?

Default avatar is just the first two letters of your username. I think.

Let me know what server you are on and I'll remake my character there. Who should I add to my friendslist?

Nobody's mentioned this yet?
DING! Heroic Characters Have Leveled Up!

DING! Level 95!

Daybreak's granting free level 95 Heroic characters for all accounts (created before the 23rd) in addition to the yearly subscription deal they're running (plus there seems to be some double currency thing going too; I got 2 Loyalty Tokens for doing my dailies even though I'm currently unsubscribed).

New Expansion: Kunark Ascending

September 2016 EQ2 Producer's Letter: Let's Talk Expansion

Greetings citizens of Norrath!

Fall is on the doorstep! What does that mean? Expansion news, of course!

We have some epic adventures in store this year as we delve into undiscovered areas of a familiar continent in our thirteenth expansion, EverQuest II: Kunark Ascending! Quite a bit of time has passed since we have explored Kunark’s secrets and there are some great stories to be told and adventures to be had. Danger awaits you in the Crypt of Dalnir, Kaesora, Warslik’s Wood and more!

Here’s a small peek of one of the new NPCs that will be in this expansion!



The launch of EverQuest II: Kunark Ascending is scheduled for November. We’ll have a lot more to share with you regarding EverQuest II: Kunark Ascending in October when we start talking about expansion features, open up pre-orders, and make beta available.

In addition to working on the expansion all year, launching Game Updates 100 and 101, Progression Servers, and event server updates, the team has also put together a beta for some new PvP Battlegrounds content that you’ll see in early September. More news coming next week on Battlegrounds!

And, to take the leap into the leaves of fall, we are running a series of promotions from September through to the expansion launch:

• This weekend, members get 40% off in-store purchases from September 1st 12PM PDT through September 6th 12PM PDT. At the same time we’ll be serving up Double XP for EVERYONE!
• EverQuest II: Terrors of Thalumbra will also be on sale at 50% off from September 1st 12PM PDT through October 5th 12PM PDT. Note that the option to purchase the Collector’s or Premium Edition of EverQuest II: Terrors of Thalumbra that comes with unique bonus items won’t be available after pre-orders forEverQuest II: Kunark Ascending begins in October.
• To help you get your characters prepared for our next expansion, we are going to run another weeks-long “Gear Up, Level Up” event this year. There will be bonuses each week in October through to expansion launch, like adventure, AA, tradeskill XP bonuses, status boosts, and more!

There is a lot to come in the coming weeks, so stay tuned! We are grateful to each and every one of our players and thank you for your support!

I also do not like this recent concept of weapon switching. I just can't get behind it and it just serves no purpose to me besides making force to press a button for no reason.

I'm not sure how this is fundamentally different than having a bunch of skills to press, which you like. It's one button to get to more skills. The nice thing about it is is the different playstyles it opens up, like in GW2. Though, that could certainly be done other ways. It just seems like a really small difference. I guess you have to get more weapons but what loot acquisition is already a bit part of any MMORPG.

eq2 marking team is the only good money maker lets face it. how many people are going to buy crap b/c it makes there house look pretty or b/c it a holiday.

Well thought out, elegantly phrases, informative, and yet simplistic in nature. bravo sir.

A long time name in the community has died and his family needs your support. Many of you will remember this name Stonestrong.
