New to the game (expansion question)

Ellias

Hello all-

I was at my local game shop when I saw the EQII sitting on the shelf for only $7. I have been looking for an MMO for a while and was looking into EQII and that pushed me over the edge. Now I am playing on Nag PvP and I am loving it! The game is challenging and fun. I'm currently playing a 15 Berserker.

My question is, I picked up the base but now am realizing that there are several expansions out there (3 namely). That I would need to get to get the most out of the game. I was wondering if anyone has ever come across an all-in-one pack, or something of that nature. If not, what would be the best way to aquire the expansions?

I have looked into it, and have come across the digital download, but I would really like to purchase something that has it all together in a retail shop (to perhaps save some cash). The most I've seen is two expansions rolled together going for $49.

I appreciate the help!

Hi there,

if you purchase the Echos of Fadwyer(spelling?) expansion, it includes the newest (EOF) content, along with the erlier 2 expansions... Kingdom of Sky and Desert of Flames.  There is another expansion coming out in November... Rise of Kunark I believe it is called, that will more than likely act the same way, in that it gives you acess to the new stuff, while providing all of the previous content as well.

I am in the southeast US and EoF expansion generally sells for 39.99... I have yet to purchase =(   b/c I dont have a DvD drive on my computer.  I will probably wait for the Kunark expansion. 

Hope that helps.

Ah, I see.

It's great to hear that everything is coupled together in the EoF expansion.

Does this include 'adventure packs' that were released in the past? If not, is there any real value in obtaining them as well?

Thanks!

BTW my guys name on Nag is Griffith, if anyone that uses these forums is rolling a low level char on the same server, feel free to send a tell my way.

no, the adventure packs are not included, but they really aren't needed. Bloodline Chronicles is really not that great, and very few people bother with it, splitpaw is alright but it's a totally optional add on that doesn't give you an advantage of any sort, and fallen dynasty is a high level adventure pack which you really don't need to worry about for now.

I've had Bloodline Chronicles for about 2 years now and have never stepped foot inside, its all group content and have never met an one that wants to do it.

Splitpaw was really good at release, but now they've nerfed it severely.  I take all my characters through it when they hit level 20 just to get the teleportation crystal, and thats it.

Fallen Dynasty I think is a lot more fun and I'd say is definitely worth purchasing when you hit 55.

Adventure packs can only be bought from the SOE digital store.

Ok, that really sucks that you didn't look more into it. The Echoes of Faydark pack has all expansions plus the original game for only $40. But its seriously in demand so you may have to order it off the net. The digital version does NOT come with all expansions.

Alright guys, I managed to find the EoF expansion which includes all the previous expansions.

I was down in VA last weekend and searched 6 stores, and none of them had the game. But after coming back to PA I was able to grab it at one of the EBgames.

Thanks again for the help and I'll see you in game!
