Title: ATTN: Those who do not play EQ2
Post by: Cheddar on August 29, 2005, 01:58:30 PM
For those that want to hop on the gravy train and play Everquest 2 there are now 2 promotions going.  One is for players who had an account that was cancelled before July 8th, the other is for new accounts.  Either gives you a free week.  Come on, what do you have to lose?

Also you can get the full version from Wal Mart for a mere $20.  We are currently located on Steamfont, the more the merrier!

The first hit is free.

As an angry launch era canceller, I am actually enjoying the game quite a bit as a casual player.

I'm enjoying my 21 days of free play. I'm trying to reconcile the hatred of SOEbay vs. the fun.

Taking out 3 linked yellows with Hurt or 6 linked with a 19 brawler is a kick in the pants. (my updated spells are what allow it, no snub at you hurt - we were kicking arse). They really have improved the solo'ability.

But then I'd have to start over, when I already have a sexy 27 Brigand on one of the servers.

And I start my final semester on Thursday. Booooo.... :evil:

Bullshit.  They offered to move our ENTIRE guild, for FREE.  Man do you know how much it costs them to move a single character?  Its amazing they are that kind.


Oh wait, I just noticed it was to the new "Buy Stuff Through SOE" server.


Fuck you Sony.  You ARE evil.

I would like to try it out, but I'm kinda afraid that the game will be a slide show on my computer. I only have like 512 Mb of RAM  :-( ... *snif*

512 is not normally a slide show.  It is, however, tediously slow to load zones and can be a slide show if you set it to anything other than high-performance or spend a lot of time in zones like Qeynos Harbor where there are a lot of NPC's and PC's on the sceen at one time.  Any of the adventure zones seemed ok though when I was using 512 with high-performance settings.

My personal opinion was that 512 was borderline simply due to the load times and the choppiness in the city.  Other people seem to handle it just fine.
