First AAA MMO to launch as F2P (no purchase required).
First game to use SOE's new Forgelight game engine.
First SOE game to use the new forum format.
Soe is pushing hard it seems...
Indeed they are... This is pretty much a make it or break it move for them. The success of PS2 directly influences their continued success for EQ Next and beyond. Based on bits and pieces from what Smedley said the other day on Reddit, they have some huge games coming out... and at least one is going to be a sandbox game.
Tried to signup using my Station account name. Found out I need to reset my password. Reset my password. Found out I couldn't use the password I wanted to. Used a different password. Activated account. Found out account was banned. Read in their instructions for banned accounts that they received an email notification about the banning. Looked in my email history for the past 6 years - couldn't find the email from station about why my account was banned.
Went to open a new ticket. Had to sign back into station. Not able to sign into station. WTF? I guess i'll just make a new account..

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience"
So um since this is on Steam hopefully it will use the Valve Anti-Cheat that Steam uses... If so THANK YOU LORD SOE has listened to my cries. More anti hacker protection is a good thing.

VAC is pretty bad tbh, and unless everyone is forced to play on steam (which i doubt) then i dont really think it'd work as not everyone will be on it.
