Apparantly they never really scrapped everyones toons and you can play for a free 21 days if you log in by October something of this year. I guess ill hop on to look around and see whats goin on here and there. Guess it is a way to get old players to come back without losing toons, WOOT!

[Captain Insano]

Yo nigga whats crackin!

[The Kizzy]

This might be fun to do for a day or two. I really miss old style EQ

I played it at my friends place the other day and I was reminded how much that game truly sucks.

For time I always thought I would come back to EQ eventually. But now I know that will never ever happen.

I played for a few hours today and realized why i left. I never bought OoW but if i want my lvl 66-70 spells i apparantly need to get it. Also there are a ton of AAs that you can only get with OoW. DoN looks cool but its 30 dollars for it and atm i dont have that cash. Sooo maybe i can just burn out a bunch of AA at PoFire tables, that should keep me entertained for 10 minutes a day for the next 20 days.

[Menlaan]

I logged in just to check things out. Yep, they only deleted toons 10 and below. So how does the free period work? You have 21 days starting the day you log in, or it lasts until October 21?

I would try this out but I deleted Mavricke. That makes me a sad monk.

[Xaiveir]

I might log in and dust off Xaiveir. We shall see..............

[Jennay]

Same. My hubby never cancelled his account so I was able to play my original druid, Jenithia, and see if anyone was on, but there wasn't. There's lots of people, but they are all newbs or twinks now. I wonder if I'll even remember how to play Hopeful.

[Jennay]

Uh oh. This is fucked up, did you read this???

Interesting, but I was able to log into The Nameless just fine. Thy must customize the email.

Does anyone know if it is 21 days from the time you first log in? Can you copy the rest of the email, Hopeful? I didn't receive an email unless it got junk-mailed / deleted.

Thanks,
Menlaan

[Jennay]

I don't remember my email that I had when I suscribed to EQ.. so I didn't get it.

[Menlaan]

Where'd you copy the email you quoted from?

thank ya

[Jennay]

hmm well then how come I couldn't sign onto my account? :P

[Harrison]

You sold it for sex, remember?

[Susvain]

I thought only you did that?

[Harrison]

I'm one of the special few who are waiting until marriage.

[Susvain]

[Gargamellow]

I think it is probably for accounts that have been inactive for a certain amount of time because I have four accounts that were up last month and I didn't get an email for any of them.

[Jennay]

ahh that could be too.

[Menlaan]

Could be. This was the first time I logged into EQ for a year and a half.

[jungilizt]

I think i logged onto EQ just a few days after OoW hit and i decided to quit. Dunno if duration of time away from EQ has anything to do with it, but who knows maybe it does. If the evertreadmill didnt exist it would be cool.

Right now i prefer DAoC over EQ. In DAoC the xpansions are not NECESSARY that are buyable. The new classic nontoa servers, with range/group member buffs are only makin things more ineresting. Negating a need for ToA if you want, many peeps flocked back to the game after this, and so far it is going well. Peeps are not runnin BG all 3 caster groups with bomb heals and FoP, nor banespike trains. There is also a new xpansion out soon and as long as i dont need the buyable xpansion before it i will be ok with this game. It is doing a good job of biding my time until the next great thing comes along by Xmas of this year.

Lookin at a lot of games and Dark and Light is keepin a lot of hush hush with a good lookin product for Screenshots of a few years ago. They have surely upgraded since then and recently invited more beta peeps. I like PVP cause you can have 1v1s or group vs group, etc. If it is better than DAoC i am all for it.

[Donnel]

Why wife didn't get one and couldn't log in either. I think this theory is valid.
