EQ2 New Progression Servers From the Beginning.. Who's in?

[Dizzarian]

Oh man I'm excited for this.  I've been hoping they'd do this for a long time and it's finally happening

We could play eq2 like it was day 1 and they will gradually release expansions.  It requires a station pass subscription which I know rico and I have. 

Who else is going to join us?  We can start figuring things out now if there's interest.

I was just thinking today of updating EQ2 and having a look. See if I can get back into the game. For it being one of my most favorite MMOs I am really not overly fond of my Monk. I love him for Feign Death as that has gotten me out of trouble so many times. But his play style is a little boring. I have so much invested in him though that I could never drop him as my main.

  You should roll a beastmaster on the new server .. you would like it

[Dizzarian]

doesn't sound like they'll have beastmaster to start on that server till it's unlocked.  But it is a great class.

I'll be trying to decide what I want to start with depending on what all we have.  If we don't have a tank I might roll that to start.

Have a Beastmaster. Like him quite a bit.

I'll probably be rolling a SK then unless we have another tank jump in.  If we do then I'll be going some other dps.

The new server is fun and they brought back isle of refuge.  

I've started a new let's play with it 

[Darkhawke]

Nice job Dizz.. you going to continue with the Lets Play as you progress or was it just for the kik off..

 

  I madea Ratonga Defiler but dam every time i roll evil i feel like i should be killin the npcs .. and start to feel a discoonecct.. Also rolled a templar ..and gonna roll a range tonite if i get time ..

[Dizzarian]

The plan is to do my whole progression through so there's a lot of videos to come.

 

You're too goody goody :P

[Darkhawke]

 fun .. just plain fun , I have gotten my Templar to lvl 12 , and its everything you would hope an EQ adventure would be .. With many of the systems turned back to launch they have a great balance , of challenge and adventure , Great to see Norrath this alive and chats buzzing with all the low dunegeon activity , a great game gets another life ...

 

    This game held the Defenders richest history , and im just alil disapointed at so lil interest/activity .. here is a Real chance to relive a great time in gaming and our history .. But it seems it will be left to slip[ away again by some ....EQ2 in this state still stands as one of the best MMORPG adventures on the market .. mystery ,challenge depth and death await .. the chance to accomplish great deeds and die with style .. dont waste it

Much as I love EQII which is to this day the game with the most hours ingame you will not see me playing on the new servers. Sadly my internet seems to hate gaming. Wife can watch as many videos as she wants but when I try to game the whole thing seems to tank. And Sunday nights seem to be the worst where the internet will just slow to a crawl and then implode. Other days of the week it may be fine and work perfectly. But to pay for a game that I may or may not be able to play when I want, not gonna happen. Have looked at other internet options but they involve satellite which would be even worse for online gaming. And their reputation is for reliability is not so great. Thus when it comes to MMO's I will not be showing up to party.
