Giving away endgame characters... really?
Reg:
Is a newbie even going to know how to run an end game character? Back when I played FFXI a guildmate sold off his high level black mage when he left the game. The guy who bought it had no idea what to do with the character. Last I saw of him he was standing around town desperately looking for a group - 3 levels lower than before because he'd died so many times that he lost a ton of experience. FFXI was nasty that way.

Oh was the shutdown thing hyperbole?
Yeah... sorry about that. I meant it to be tongue-in-cheek. I changed the thread title to be more accurate.

That's exactly what came to mind for me as well. If I went back to EQ2 with this 85 level character, I wouldn't have a clue what to do with the abilities and points handed me. The benefit of the leveling time is to help you adjust to your abilities and maximize their utility. The problem with most MMOs is that the training period lasts too long and is largely uninteresting...

Isn't the level limit 95 now? That gives you plenty of time to catch up since you'd probably have sologround to 85 anyway.

If that's the case, then it makes much more sense.
HaemishM:
Yes, the level limit is 95 and the free version of EQ2 doesn't include the new $40 expansion. So chances are you'll have plenty of solo time to learn how to play the character.
I went ahead and reinstalled EQ2 to get my free character. Shit it's free and it skips all the leveling that I tend to get bored with after about 35 levels.
