from SOE forums

http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/index.php?threads/upcoming-changes-for-free-and-silver-members.5112/

As of mid-next week, we’re going to be removing the following free-to-play restrictions in EverQuest and EverQuest II. Free and Silver players will now have access to all of the following options:

  • We are opening up ALL CLASSES.*
  • We are opening up ALL RACES. **
  • All bag slots are unlocked.
  • All players can now use the shared bank slots.
  • The quest journal restrictions are lifted entirely. Quest away!
  • Additionally, EverQuest is allowing all players to send delivery parcels! (This change is for a game-specific change in EQ, so it doesn’t happen in EQII.)

* “All free classes” exception for EQII only: Beastlord is still only accessible via the “Age of Discovery” expansion pack.
** “All free races” exception for EQII only: The Freeblood race is still an SC-only marketplace option.

What Restrictions Remain?

This announcement made me wonder what restrictions remain. An unofficial list which I need to verify...

  • In-game Mail
  • Number of Character Slots
  • Spell Quality
  • AA Slider
  • Item/Equipment Quality
  • Guild limitations
  • Broker restrictions
  • Chat restrictions

    I suppose they aren't refunding Station Cash for those that unlocked stuff previously. Right?

    Current: BDO
    Looking forward to: Crowfall & Chronicles of Elyria

    Kyleran:  "Now there's the real trick, learning to accept and enjoy a game for what it offers rather than pass on what might be a great playing experience because it lacks a few features you prefer."

    John Henry Newman: "A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault."

    FreddyNoNose:  "A good game needs no defense; a bad game has no defense." "Easily digested content is just as easily forgotten."

    LacedOpium: "So the question that begs to be asked is, if you are not interested in the game mechanics that define the MMORPG genre, then why are you playing an MMORPG?"
