Hi everyone Im an old EQer from way back and have been discussing with all of my old player friends on what races would dominate EQ2 and im led to believe Evil will be out in full force. My question is to anyone willing who do you think will dominate Norrath this time round. Call me curious for thats who i amimage

    Hmmm as far as my question goes in reguards to what and who will dominate Norrath in EQ2 is just that, a question. On the otherhand if there was a PVP server then my question would definetly be relavent image

    Unfortunately, races have no restrictions to classes in EQ2, so your question is rather pointless. However, Elves will probably be the leading race population with Dark Elves probably equaling High and Wood Elves for race domination.
    Humans and Barbarians will come in second and the rest of the races will pretty much be scattered. Iksar might prove to be another highly populated race, but not as many as Humans and Barbarians.

    Partially true. of the 12 sublclasses, each splits at level 20 into two sub subclasses, depending on whether you are of evil, or good alignment. For example Mage -> Sorcerer -> Wizard/Warlock if I remember correctly. Now Wizards and Warlocks are both the kings of magical damage, it's just Wizzys do DD's, while Warlocks do DoTs as I understand it. Or the insanely popular Fighter -> Crusader -> Paladin/Shadowknight.

    So depending on whether you are good or evil, you'll have at least a slightly different experience after level 20.

    Thankyou for your reply and insight I appreciate any feed-back as a positive gestureimage As far as lvls go do you think being able to lvl to 100 is to the extreme? And if you know off-hand how long would this take?

  • ColdmeatColdmeat Member UncommonPosts: 3,409

    Initially the cap is set at 50, thought the mechanics are in place for them to take it to 200.

    As it stands now, it'd take a good while to make it to 50, let alone 100. I believe the highest people in beta are in their early 30's, so I'm guessing with all the skills, content, and whatnot in place, I'd say 3 months to 50. Depending on playtime and having access to a group. They may turn up the xp a notch, though, so that's not carved in stone. Just a guestimate.

    200 image Holy @%!$ crap. Im all for getting in there and playing my little arse off but playing to 200 would get a little boring for me if it werent PVP I'd rather become an artisan and create funky items and make lots of monies. Thanks again for the reply image

    Since you so inquired, I was the youngest of all of my cousins, and more often than not, had my 8x10 sheets of paper torn up first in each encounter, but no worries, I have learned... lol  image

    Hey bro yea D&D was cool I played that in the late 80s during high school man what a game, I think we must have played nearly every lunch our heh. I remember meeting my first girlfriend playing Temple of elemental evil boy what a long campaign that was. Yea well anyway enough of my past I'd did also enjoy rolemaster towards the completion of my high school years, as a matter of fact I prefered it more than the D&D system for one main reason unlike D&D where you can sustain huge amounts of damage and still survive which is cool and all cause it is only a game I liked the fact that in rolemaster you could die one hit one kill due to the critical hit tables and so on. I used to love felling orcs and ogres with one mighty blow of my battle axe, man Im getting all fired up again heheh cant wait for EQ2 its gonna be a hell of a ride, later Yeti keep wild mate.

    I stayed awake lol  was impressed that you were playing D&D at 8 years of age, took me til I was 12 from age 10 to get the hang of it, and been playing it ever since as well. Most 8 year olds are tree climbing, bike riding, pissing their parents off, and earning the name DON'T. Hell for several years I thought my name was Tony Don't.image

  • IowaYetiIowaYeti Member Posts: 468
    Now that is too funny, my oldest Cousin's name is Tony IRL, and he just about has his 20 in the Military. That should give you the ages for us. I was the youngest (still am haha) and he was the oldest. His younger brother and several other cousins were all older than me.hehe On a side note, I still have a "monster" a cousin helped me create. His brother drew the monster's pic for me on the back (I still have it today). It was made in 1983, and I am certain of the year because my cousin was tragically killed shortly after. I was playing with them, and trying hard, since I was already a die hard Star Wars fan, having seen A New Hope in the theater (and still remember it today) in 1977. Fantasy was all to easy for me.  8-)  I never cared to be DM, but complete my skills as a player. WHich earned me rewards at Gen-Con a few times.  image

    Just because you post your age as 24 or 56 doesnt mean its true people, remember online you can be anyone anyage and that my friends is scarey. So in saying that as the old saying goes and just like in EQ "NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER" image

  • IowaYetiIowaYeti Member Posts: 468
    Well, if you are questioning my age, I can only laugh. I can assure you, as a Public (State) Employee, the public record is there and viewable by anyone who cares to look. If you are not, good and also, yes, people "can and do" lie about their ages and personal info all the time. 12 years online, myself, and in Law Enforcement, I can vouch for this. So, in ending, I can only personally vouch for myself, or the others I know "in person" online (none of which post here). Either way, you have definitely picked the "wrong" online personality to question. I have posted pics of myself, and my family, for 12 years now, online (including the births of my children), I have posted about my career changes (all in the Law Enforcement/Corrections realms) and given my real name, again, as I said, as a State Employee all you have to do is verify this yourself. In conclusion, your remarks fall short of truth Sir/Miss (whichever you are IRL)  image

    Oooh, diss ::::01::

    I feel less geeky now. I didn't get into D&D until I was 15, which would have been 87. Though I was aware of the game. A remeber a kid by the name of John Kluge playing the basic edition back when I was in first grade, which would have been 78, or 79.

    I suppose you could say I've been roleplaying all my life thoug, as most of the games I played as a kid, even if by myself, involved nothing more than me, and my imagination, pretending I was whatever suited my fancy. And before I played D&D, when I was 13 or 14ish, I and a friend put together a fantasy LARP sort of thing, though I had no clue what a LARP was at the time. Basically just a bunch of us neighborhood kids beating on each other with sticks or whatever was handy, though we tried to take it a step further, and get some sort of stats worked into it. Now at 32, I roleplay a cyborg roleplaying a human being in real life.

    Yetis make good RPGers, cause they are a fantasy creature!!!! On the age issue I am 37. I am made painfully aware of that fact daily by children. If my boys give me one more fa'shizzle for a reply to a statement, they are grounded!

  • IowaYetiIowaYeti Member Posts: 468
    lol cold, I am "not" going further into my RP'ing besides the D&D aspects at a very young age. I too rp'ed many other things, hehe don;t make me think back that far bro  lol  image image

    Hmm maybe some of us should find a way to play D&D <pen paper> over the net? I run a Modern d20 campaign now and again.

  • ColdmeatColdmeat Member UncommonPosts: 3,409

    D20 is the WotC version of D&D after they bought out TSR isn't it?
