Everquest - Going F2P

Some pretty lame restrictions in place, probably not worthwhile. Doesn't come remotely close to LOTRO's F2P model, which is excellent.

Completely true, but check out what you can and can't do.

New accounts/characters can only be made from the following choices

Human, Erudite, Barbarian and Gnome.
Warrior, Cleric, Wizard, and Rogue.

4/6 bag slots (depending on free/silver member)

Given the number of "Silver" Accounts I'll have, I don't think I'll be needing to create any new characters.

I wouldn't have gone w/ barbarians in that race selection though... they are only able to be 2 of the 4 classes. Dark elf would make more sense.

Definitely happy about this as I occasionally get the urge to take a look at all the old zones.



Any word on when this actually happens? I tried logging in to EQ but it wouldnt let me.
