Several things make EQ2 a great starter MMO. First and foremost is the great community is has. People in game and on the forums are very helpful, especially in the newbie thread. Have a question? Ask it there.
The mentor system is good for leveling up quickly and catching up with friends, but leveling a character as fast as it does I think would be confusing to the new player. Take some time to level your first character, don't be in a hurry. Learn what all your spells can do and experiment. Nobody wants to group with a high-level that doesn't understand their class.
Choose the right server. Read through the forums to get an idea. Lucan D'Lere and Antonia Bayle popular servers for people just starting out, even though they are role-play. Avoid the PVP servers if you are new and just learning.
Do the quests on the starter island. You can jump to the mainland any time you want, but the starter island gives you a really good tutorial like overview of what the game is like. Plus there are some pretty decent quest rewards to get you going.
Everquest 2 is a fun game that continues to go strong, and in my opinion as good a game as any to get her feet wet.
It's weird it's like she never even bought the game her trial form ends tonight but she can't even play her trial char from my pc no more and fromher end she gets an error not sure what it is but she can't seem to do anything i'mma try and reinstall hopefully it'll work or something.....maybe it's vista but i use it too and no problems ever
There is a few things that might have happened. One, sense you installed the game (either over the trial installation or along with the trial installation) with the trial installation on it, there might be a conflict issue. So uninstalling both the trial and the retail versions then installing the retail version might fix it. If you can not still get into the game, to play a fae, your version of the game needs to have Echos of Faydwer (surprised I still remember how to spell that after all these years, played EQ1 about 11 years ago). Might check to see, just in case, your version of the retail game comes with all the expansions or not. Other than that, would really need to see what the exact error is. Hope this helps.
MMOs Played: I can no longer list them all in the 500 character limit.
Well i went to her house and was looking its weird because it was installing thinfgs blah blah but when she tries to log in nothing is available no expansions are checked.....it'sl like she bought the base game only so maybe a reinstall will work
make sure you register the rok code that comes with it. I had a similar problem with my visa card it needs to be verified by visa to it for online purchaces. once i registerd it with visa the registartion and billing set up went through smoothly and i could play normaly with all expansions and adventure packs.
She did because she bought rise of kunark in retial i was with her and it does say all expansions but she can just play in qeynos at this time maybe the reinstall might fix it
All in all it's finally working for some reason she used the 14 day trial key code instead of the real cdkey lol it was to cute lol well thanks for all the help
