Possibly Coming Back to EQ2...Follow

#1 Nov 23 2005 at 9:33 AM Rating: Decent
Well I am currently playing WoW and the end game content is really boring as you do raids that consist of two to five hours of your time and by the standard looting rules you most of the time will walk off with nothing because you wanna save your loot rolls for something good such as your set item that is usually at the very end of the raid / instance. The players intellect of how to successfully play their characters is greatly flawed as well. I mean most lvl 60 warriors do not even know what the hell Aggro is in that game... sad but true.

But I was thinking about coming back to EQ2 but the thing that I have a hard time choosing wether to come back or not is if I would like the full game effect I would have to buy "Everquest 2: Desert of Flames" as well as the two adventure packs which are the "The Bloodline Chronicles" and the "The Splitpaw Saga".

EverQuest II: Collectors Edition (Currently Owned)
$0.00

EverQuest II: Desert of Flames
$29.99

EverQuest II: The Splitpaw Saga (Adventure Pack)
$7.99

EverQuest II: The Bloodline Chronicles (Adventure Pack)
$4.99

Total Cost: $42.97

I mean I have little next to no money whats so ever with all these birthdays, baby showers, bills and christmas coming up.

My question is are all these expansions / adventure packs worth buying and is the game worth playing at all? I mean the reason I quit playing a while back was because the game was not solo friendly what so ever but now they have added alot of new soloable content so I heard.

I got a question about the game as I do not remember how the game physics were since it has been so long since I have last played.

1) Can good group with evil?

and

2) How many character slots do you have by default?

So long story short are the adventure packs and expansion worth the money or not?

The Bloodline pack is for levels 30+'ish. Didn't buy it, but due to it's limited level range, I wouldn't recommend it.

Splitpaw is a scalable zone starting at 20+. Meaning, when you enter the zones, the monters will be your same level. When you go in at level 20, they will be 20. When you go back into the same zone at levvel 40, they will now be level 40. Worth buying.

Desert of Flames is generally for 45+'ish. Worth buying.

You can start with the basic set that you already own, and pick up the other ones as you come within those level ranges. There is a ton of content even withouth the extra packages. Enough to keep you busy for a while.

Anyone can group with anyone else.

You start with 4 slots, and if you spend a few more dollars for Station access, you get 6 slots.

Good luck!

They bumped this up a while back - everyone now gets 6 slots except station access owners who get 10.

Note that if you subscribe to the Station Access payment plan, you get free access to both the Bloodline and Splitpaw adventure packs for free for as long as you keep the Station Access plan going. If you plan on soloing a lot, you may want to go this route, and just do Splitpaw over and over again... I know many people do.
