    Hey 10 adventurer levels, 10 more crafting levels, more raid content, a couple more quest, more equipment.

    Awesome cant wait to pay $30.00 for this expansion minus my $2.00 for pre-order..

     

    (edit)

    For the record I was been sarcastic

    Good ole Kunark.  The EQ2 community has known about this possible expansion for awhile now.  Original post regarding the name patent was posted here over two months ago.

    I heard some people talking about it in game the other day, you can tell people are starting to get excited about it.. even though im sure 90% of what they were talking about is just rumors

    The game needs this ASAP - the 1-year cycle is leaving 6 months of nothing, and that's an engraved invitation to go try something else.

    Avatars are people too

    yea im sure this needs more expansions, after getting my first 70 and doing part time raiding i quit after the first month of raiding and moved to WOW



    Why?



    This game has already 3 expansions and a ton of adventure packs which are mini expansions



    Look at WOW only 1 expansion and the games came out within a month difference



    Whos doing better? sony or blizzard.... the numbers say blizzard and believe it sony had a bigger fan base then blizzard did



    and now that i have  A 70 in wow also i will tell u WOW has more to it then EQ2 ever had with 3 expansions that are very limited.

    yeah

    Well, I played wow amd after leveling to max in 2 months, I said thanks but no thanks.

    People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.

    Yeah, that's pretty sad that poor WoW players had crap for any kind of very little content since launch. I guess that's why there are TONS of ex-WoW posts on the EQ2 boards starting a game with some real content.

    EQ1 peaked at around 300k subscribers in its hayday. Considering it's a niche game with a steep learning curve, that's pretty good. Warcraft sold MILLIONS of copies as a single-player game. NOW who again has a bigger fan base? Nice try Einstein.

    LOL, nice try dude.

    When EQ2 was released there 500K people playing online in Everquest when WoW was released Blizzard had 15 million people playing online on Battlenet.

    Do you yell out "Baaaaaabaaaaabaaaa" when you get scared? 

    Wow's not bad.  I played it for quite a while.   But it's just plain false that WoW has more to it then EQ2.  Sorry but EQ2 is a far more complex game.   Every monkey and its bananna knows this.

  • edmonaledmonal Member Posts: 188
    The end game for both is very similar: raid for loot. WoW has world PvP, but that's about it. Both games trot out a new high level dungeon every so often. The great possibility of Rise of Kunark is that it could be all high level content, as they are about to release the new evil starting area later this month.

      Here ya go. Sounds great already. Epic weapons especially  . Only thing missing is a release date. And there's gonna be a big live update before Kunark putting even more content.

    I like to put it this way..WOW is a puddle..not much depth,very shallow game

    Eq2 however is a swimming pool full of depth and more things to than you can shake a stick at,and i would hardly call 3 adventure packs a "ton"

    OK I've left VG and was considering either trying out Burning Crusade or LoTRs but then I saw this. Kunark? Sarnaks? Dieties and Religion? Epic Weapons? OK I'm curious as a EQI fan who quit EQII at level 20 right after release. This sounds pretty spiffy and I had already heard good things about the Fae expansion. I have a few questions to ask those currently playing and appreciate any info.

    1. Can you make an Ogre or Dark Elf and choose to start him in Faydwer or Kunark instead of Freeport  (I hated Freeport).

    2. Do you get to pick dieties at character creation like with EQI? (Wasn't in the game at release) Does this have any affect? Do any avatars of dieties show up or affect the world?

    3. Are their more armors and weapon choices? The original armors were limitied and goofy looking.

    4. How is the community and Guilds and such? I believe I was on Antonia Bayle server before.

    5. Do they have raids in game like the Planes from EQI?

  • edmonaledmonal Member Posts: 188
    1)No, you can't start a Dark Elf or Ogre in either of those areas, though Neriak will be available later this month for the Dark Elves.



    2)You have to quest for your dieties, so you have complete control over who you worship. I have seen the avatars around, but haven't seen them do anything.



    3)There are more, but they are still struggling with the type of character models they started with. It limits them in how different the armour can look.



    4)AB is still the busiest servers, but you can languish for lack of groups at times.



    5)Never played EQ1 so can't comment. Some of the raids are short, some are long.
