So I'm resubbing
Numtini:
For leveling, EQ2 isn't on rails the same way that WoW is, but those same rails are there just under the dust and if you get a solid guide to them and follow the dots on eq2maps, you can level in the same fast efficient way. Even more if you have something with invisibility/stealth and speed--my dirge leveled like crazy through guided quest grinding even though they're generally considered sub-par as soloists.
I don't know why anyone would want to do it that way if you didn't have a raid guild waiting at the end. But if you want to, the option is definitely there. I'd say faster than WoW.
Soln:
I really really hated the chained-grouped mobs. My swashie was always getting owned by 2xwhites or a hord of greys. If the money/time curve is reasonable from 20->50 let's say, I'll be happy.
Soln:
their deal is amazing: $20 and 2 free months will all expansions
Ard:
They pretty significantly upped the leveling time a while back if you're specifically after raw leveling speed. They very specifically addressed the level range you're talking about with something they're calling the golden path, which basically helps guide your progression.

There were more details somewhere, but it currently leads up to like level 30 or 40. I can't remember for sure, and I'm too lazy to go digging through the eq2 forums for it right now. It applies to the newer leveling areas though, leading from kelethin, neriak, and whatever the kunark area was called.
Also, if you're starting a new account, make sure you get a referral for some pretty large bonuses, and if not, don't forget you have xp potions as a veteran reward.

I have literally spent the last 1.5 hrs installing and trying to get this mother fucking Station Launcher to work AND then to try and renew my sub. I bought the Complete Collection as a box in the hope of a fast install. The install went fine (I have nothing else on this Win7 box but MSOffice and LotRO) but the shortcuts give me a broken link to a dud launcher version. Once I figured how to get around that (sweet out of the box experience) the fucking shitastic billing service keeps asking for CC's and then repeats. You can see the cards in the handy "Payment Sources" but you can't fucking apply them to the game you want... Oh and don't try this in Safari.
"How the fuck can they stay in the business like this?" prolly the same words I said in "12/13/04" when it seems I first registered
Edit: endless loop -- keeps asking for credit cards, keep entering them until I have to repeat them and then I get the message "card already on file". Fucking clownshoes. How the fuck do they let this go on
UPDATE: problem is my country on file is CDN but all my payment types are US. You have to call SOE to get them to change the currency/country code. Players can't. They will need the CC# from your last purchases. Fun stuff.
