Probably will not get it unless there is some aspect to it that un/balances PvP. The only thing ive gotten out of DoN is the ranger lure snare and w/ the 5% chance that any spell will land on a PC, i really dont see a huge difference at the end game. The new aa's seem nice for alot of classes but as per usual, Rng aa's seem like an afterthought (gogo critical forage!).

I started playing last November, I haven't raided a single Velious or Luclin zone (although my guild is going to start doing some SSra and VT gearing). I have raided a Kunark zone once for a bard epic, and in all honesty, don't care to go back :), and finally last month I started my Planar Progression. Granted, I am one raid short of elemental in just over two weeks, but there is a lot of sky up above.

That leaves me already HEAVILY behind Gates, Omens, and Dragons (which I at least do missions to get crystals). And now they are gonna hit me with another one? Hey, the growing items and what not sound awesome, but that requires a patch, not an expansion. I understand some of the uber guilds with peeps who have been playing for five to six years are getting bored. But GODDAMM!!! At least give me nine months apart, better yet push a year on them.

I run three accounts, so this is gonna set me back a few. And I am sure my guild will raid some new zones, so I know will buy it, if not to at least get in on guild raids. But I have plenty to do, so SOE needs to slow down a bit. If my guild says to get it for raids, I will buy it, if not I am gonna wait.

**As a later afterthought, I have heard some very good things about this expansion. So should it turn out well, I am okay with such a short time in between. I was critical of DoN at first, and have really enjoyed it. From what I understand, GoD was pushed through fast to make a buck, and it suffered greatly (worst expansion for me personally, great items, but the trouble to get them hardly outweighs the risk) both in content and a huge number of bugs. If they release one every six months, it better not be all jacked up. Peace!**

I havn't even got DoN yet Smiley: jawdrop

Used my premium membership at allakhazam to get the game at 10% off. It is great to see that most of the voters are getting the expansion one way or another.

Yet another sign that hopefully most of the prepetual whiners and SOE bashers have moved on..... leaving us with a much more positive community.

I plan to buy it mainly for the monster missions. From what I have seen about the mob content or such it looks like another quickly thrown together expansion. So what new bottlenecks will SOE put into grouping now? First there was the requirement to have a slower with POP cause the mobs hit for insane damage. Then with DOn you just about gotta have a cleric for the healer cause they hit for such insane damage somebody is bound to die eventually from something. Also with DOn we got goblins that run like bards so now you gotta have a snarer. Starting to get harder and harder to put a group together. Remember the old school days of EQ where you could get by with nothing but a healer in a high end group?? Heck sometimes you could get by without the healer if you was uber enough.

Anyways sorry to go off-topic, but I just get sick of the contant spamming of expansinos. Only interesting aspect of this expansion is the monster missions, and I am willing to bet there will be some hugely BS quest involveing raids to unlock the fun mosnter missions.

I do not plan to buy DoD until I loot glowing runes for both my druid and my cleric. ***** SONY if they think they are going to get more money out of me while they are so damn stingy with necessary drops (ie spells).

If i was not in Iraq I would have done bought it. But when i get back i will catch up on EQ.
#19 Sep 11 2005 at 9:14 AM Rating: Decent
WHOOOHHHAAA I am too in IRAQ but me wifey sending me the box set but to bad my internet sucks in my room here or i could play as good as i did in the U.S.A! If i dont log in at 0400 or 0500 in the morning and keep the game up untill after PT or work then i cant get on at all do to crappy internet. The nightmares in the Afternoon when i go LD from zoning or some NPC toon is laggn and cuases me to LD. Anyways i am off the subject so i look forward to this new expansion even though im a newbie to EQ and played for a year and a half. EQ is a cool world and being a D&D fan it seems similar to me so i get to put aside this reality here in IRAQ and home. Crap i'd be higher in levels for my three toons if it wasnt for LDn here.

It is obvious that these constant expansions are geared towards the uber guilds. I full understand why they are bored with their stuff. They spend their life, such as it is, racing at full tilt towards the 'end' of the game.

This game is not based on finding the finish line, Sony will always more it farther way at some point; the game is about having fun with any part of fit.

There seems to be little or no thought into fixing what is wrong with the game. The solution Sony seems to be pushing is send out new stuff and hope they forget the old, or at least don't use it anymore.

I rarely get a opportunity to use the immense content that already exists. I don't even own Dragons, but I do have all other expansions.

I am not currently in a guild, so there is no pressure to buy this.

I don't even have my 1.0 epic yet, but I am working on it. I am addicted to all trade skills. I love Adventures (have a bit*h of a time finding one) but 1/3 of them end up dissolving before they start from peeps that have no patience. I love really long quests (got my 6th Prayer Shawl and my 7th Coldain Ring).

Once I explore/achieve those aspects of this game, then I'll start looking for a guild for Planar Progession. Only then will l think about buying more bugs, er I mean content.

I have 2 accounts. One is already pre-ordered download. If it isn't a total waste I will buy a boxed version for account #2.

For those of you who don't know, the guys who originally designed Everquest (Verant) told Sony to take a hike a while back and formed a new company called Sigil Games. Their new game, Vanguard, will be out soon and I will try it before I throw any more money Sony's way.
