Everquest II going Free to try?
« on: July 28, 2010, 08:22:51 PM »
To all Interested,

I knew after the cash shop EQ2 was planning a move to F2P...  I have to admin it looks like an epic fail..

Unlike DDO you can't pay once to unlock anything... you still need a monthly fee to unlock races and classes from what i understood in the FAQ... 

The only thing you can unlock with a one time fee is... $10 guild creation access/shared bank slots/15more gold per level onhand/ and one more charactor slot.

My wife is interested in trying the Expanded thing or whatever they are calling it...  I don't know but wondering if anyone is willing to try it with us?  Jen and I used to play alot and had charactors on the live server so we know where everything is..  Wouldn't be too hard to level up to 50 rather easily given.


I don't like the race/class choices but guess I don't have a say...  Only the nutral races and classes available... so they can be evil or good... I wonder if i can cheat and make a swashbuckler and betray with him into assassin??..  worth a shot i guess... LOL  but I think they made it after shadow expansion you could be evil swashbuckler...  so prolly won't give me option for assassin...

Anyway back to main subject anyone willing to join us?

you can also take a charactor from live for $35...  I don't know how this will work unless ya have one of the 4 races/class combos... 

It noted that if you PAID for the monthly fee which wouldn't be any diff than P2P you unlock all the races/classes...  but when you go back to f2p they are locked and toons ya made will be unavailable til you pay again.... I hope it's not the same for the $35 toon ya copied from live...

If so I won't be able to do that given none of them are on the list :(
