the levels of mobs are appropriate for toons who were max level or close pre expak. some cool content the ability to log into a battleground event where all servers mix for pvp is interesting (games like keep away and capture the flag)

some mobs gray out by the time you hit 90 tho most of the raid content doesnt seem a huge difficulty for any raid guild that got anywhere near close to clearing the last expak.

lots of quest lines and even one to convert your mythical from the rok questline so all that questing and raiding wasn't in vain

log on and look us up Smile we are picking up alot of tso raids now lol

Nah. My top level character isn't even through the desert -- and I don't even like playing it anymore. Leveling up one of my other ones would take even longer.

Its not bad but not great.

There is not enough solo quests to level from 80 to 90 in just this expansion alone. This was done to encourage groups. The Hole is a dungeon that is HUGE and gives insane xp just for grinding. A level 80 healer can heal most of the zone..by the time you hit 85 you definitely can heal the zone.

The new AA's are good.
Odus is beautiful.

Sony condensed stats. What used to be Heal crit, melee crit, and spell damage crit is now called crit chance. This, imo, dumbed down the game...what used to require knowing what pieces were good now does not

Sony also created what they call the golden path...basically its a level progression of zones/solo quests from 1 to 85ish.

Yeah that was one of the things that interested me. Not that it wasn't already in the game, just look up timelines on the eq2 wikis.

Median did you ever try EQ2?

I can't speak to the latest expansion other than it "killed the game for me" but that should not dissuade you from trying EQ2 if it would be a new game to you. The world content is pretty solid and raiding is (was) a challenge.

I like the new expak very pretty... and no you probably can't do it on quests alone tho to be fair I didn't try... I leveled to 83 on quests and started craving social interaction beyond guild chat and ventrilo....... however it's more fun in groups thats why we play mmos and join guilds no?


the lore behind the new expak interests me and I have found it alot of fun and still haven't explored all of it. Lots of Disco still to be obtained.


Sanadorn don't make me cry that you left again Razz

And where is my high value bonus gift third party Razz

I actually did try EQ2 when it first released. I got to level 32 I believe. I didn't know BA then. Only reason I quit was because my brother left to play WoW, which I later got into. I enjoyed my time playing it.

The bad thing is if I did start up I would join the BA players here, and the only reason that is bad is because I would be starting at level 1.
