I'm on almost every day, going to be limiting my game use pretty heavily next week due to company staying at my place for a week though. IGN is the same as my forum name.
Technically good/neutral, home is in NH. Half Elf Warden.
If you played before the problems and ever downloaded the card game(LoN), you got a free complimentary loot card. I got a 5 bedroom manor in New Halas that is completely rent free.
I have actually just downloaded this today and am planning on giving it a go. I'm just curious about something. It seems like they are running that temporary free gold membership thing? Or something... because I have all classes available to me and as far as I know I am only a bronze member. But what I'm curious about is, if I make, let's say a Dirge which is only available through purchase, when this free time is up... will I have to pay to keep playing that character?
Yeah, it's free Gold membership til June 17th, then people get placed back into the tier they were in before. So if you make any class that isn't normally free, you'll have to pay to unlock the class to continue the character. It's a good chance to try things out to see what you'd like to play if you did want to unlock anything though.
They do a lot of point promotions on EQ2x as well. (double station cash) So really... the deals in the shop are quite cheap. I suggest buying expansions seperately if you really get into the game.
They finished a triple station cash event on Monday, best they've ever done. It was possible to get 6000 SC from a Walmart SoE card for $15. I had to resort to Gamestop for 4500 SC for the same price because availability sucks in some places. I like being able to pay a little for a permanent class unlock, especially since 750 SC = the class you want and the full game.
You get all but the newest expansion free for every expansion release. So before the newest you got all but SoF. After DoV released they gave SoF free to all EQ2x players. When the next expansion releases, they'll release DoV free to all EQ2x players. It isn't really worth it to buy DoV until you're level 85-90 though, since it only adds that level of content.
