    Did they ever even finish the last one? As far as I know, Berserkers still aren't done.

    Does an EQ expansion really need a news topic? When have we had a fiscal quarter without a new EQ expansion? ::::02::

    Wow, hopefully this one will be done when it goes live. I remember a bunch of people talking about how most of the new continent can't even be accessed yet because SOE is still working on it.

    Holy Innoruuk In A Handbasket! Another expansion?! 

    I can't take another expansion. I just can't.  NO! NO! NO! NO!

    Erm.... Not to say that I have strong feelings about that or anything. image

    Somewhere at VI this conversation took place:

    "I got bad news, EQ2 is running over budget again"

    "humm, we'll lets release another EQ expansion pack, and we'll need to do before the end of the quarter before so we don't look bad to sony's share holders"

    "You know it takes a year to make a expansion pack"

    "Look, EQ is dying, let's just milk it for all we can, use the money and use the money to fund new projects"

    "We're a game that's focused on grouping and on solo play, you know, more group oriented, more solo play..."

    Achievers realise that killers as a concept are necessary in order to make achievement meaningful and worthwhile (there being no way to "lose" the game if any fool can "win" just by plodding slowly unchallenged). -bartle

    Yay, a higher level cap. And the max level content shrinks once again. It is a shame that EQ has far more content than any other MMORPG out there, yet when you reach the top, the group content is so restricted (and everyone reaches the top eventually if they want).

    Well, I'm pleased to see this at least. As someone who prefers to play lower level characters, I welcome the opportunity to try out more areas with those chars and do more quests and train some more skills image

    One day, I might get a character into the 30s, but its not happened yet image

    As far as I know, and I am fairly certain, there will be no new low level areas in this expansion.
