I dont know if I really like the SK, so I might make something new now. I'm waiting on the updates to finish.
Just not a healer. I dont have the attention span for it...anyone who has played with Darcler knows this. I think I've wiped many a raid by just up and walking away during heal rotations.

Are you in the beta Martrae or can people already walk over there, just not start there?

Post by **Martrae** » Sat Oct 28, 2006 11:14 pm

Kahar and I are both in beta. NDA is supposedly gonna be lifted next week so if you have questions I'll answer them then.

nope
I'm not even sure exactly how to define what it was that didn't appeal, it just kind of made me go "meh" in my brain

I could tell she was lagging badly when she made it and some of the angles weren't the greatest either.

She was also too interested in flowers and 'pretty' things IMO.

I took the plunge. Had a copy of EQ2 but never took the time to sign up. Now a legendary level 4 High Elf Conjuror named Mazrym on the BB server.

Will only be casual, however, as I split time between EQ2 and WoW.

I'll have to pick up EoF when it comes out to get all the remaining content.

One question, Martrae. Do you get all the adventure packs by picking up EoF or are those separate purchases? No sweat if you don't know.

Post by **Martrae** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 11:41 am

You get the expansions but not the adventure packs.

LK send macabrat or Breanut a tell in game if you need a guild to call home. We just picked up darcler last night and a old friend of ours from Clan Adept on Nameless.

ps, wtf is an adventure pack?

Burgy99 · Post by **Burgy99** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 4:43 pm

They are like 5 to 10 bucks, and they're like a mini expansion. You get a new dungeon area with a couple different instances.

Post by **Martrae** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 4:45 pm

Like Burgy said...they're smallish extra areas to explore and play with. They are completely optional and you don't miss out on a whole lot if you skip them.

They come free every month you pay for Station Access, btw, or you can just pay a one-time fee and always have them.

Darcler · Post by **Darcler** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 4:47 pm

If I type /claim, what do I get?

Post by **Martrae** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 4:57 pm

Different stuff based on how long you've had the account and what expansions you have. Bags, pictures, xp potions (tradeskill and adventure), house items, etc.

Burgy99 · Post by **Burgy99** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 5:05 pm

Yea they're actually pretty sweet. If your bored one night you really don't mind dropping 5 bones to have a new area to play with for a couple of weeks. On the other hand maybe game developers should give this stuff out free !

Tikker · Post by **Tikker** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 6:41 pm

gay
stuff like that should be free

As shitty as all the expansions were for EQ past luclin....
So should the last 5 expansions of EQ but we cant have eveything now can we?

Tikker · Post by **Tikker** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 11:08 am

eh? luclin was the shitty expansion

PoP was pretty good, GoD was not bad
Ykesha was pretty alright too, specially if you were lvling a twink or something

ps, adventure pack sounds like when they added the Hole

Post by **Martrae** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 11:19 am

Not exactly...the Splitpaw pack has something like 5 instances and couple zone areas to go thru...it's a fairly good sized area to explore.

Burgy99 · Post by **Burgy99** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 4:51 pm

Yea... it would be like "here's BWL, and 4 zones to experience in that have a similiar theme". Your 5 bucks definately goes far, but in the spirit of the "ever changing" worlds of MMOs, that shit should be free. A Right, a given, not a exception or privelidge.

But on the otherhand, all game companies are greedy, and, it's only 5 bucks afterall :wink:
