New Expansion just released!!!!!!Follow

Phew! Glad I'm not the only one, I'm still trying to dry my pants out after I read that.

they ae saving it for .... EQ II (with houseboats and stuf)

Don't tell anyone, but I pre-ordered already. Do I have sucker stamped on my forehead?

I'll be right in line with ya too Pat. They put just enough in for the lowbies like myself. Only thing GoD had for me was the Zerk, now the only thing OoW will have is that request-a-quest feature. That and the custom titles (maybe).

But yeah, this is a HUGE marketing thing. Eventhough SOE is top dog, they know WoW will take a bite out of them, so they need to soften it as much as possible. And you know what? It will work. As long as there are enough of us that will still buy it no matter how much we *****, they'll constantly put out crap.

On a side note, nice to know that they really are paying attention to their customers. With the Epic 2.0, >65th lvls, etc. Now, if they'll just listen to us on fixing the CURRENT bugs...then everything will be cool.

When they get the CURRENT expansion running right and get the bugs worked out of DX9, then I might buy another expansion.

Until then, they don't get another dime from me other than my subscrition fee.

I will say this. I'm GLAD to see they're updating epic weapons. Gives me a reason to finish pursuing mine as I'm sure the "old epic" weapons will likely be part of the turn in.

SInce I am not network oriented, let me ask a question.

It seems more than coincidental that FFXI goes live and EQ switches to the marvelous new engine as well.

Is there any possibility that SOE is using their servers to double dip and run both games?

I'm totally ignorant of how all that stuff works, but curious nevertheless.

Yeah. SOE owns both games :)

Just like with Shadows of Luclin, is the only way to get the "new and improved" graphics going to be through purchase of this expansion?

I've bought everything since PoP this way and have not had a moments concern. Works good for me.

Absolutely correct.

This was discussed at the release of Gates, most of what is announced here is what we told to expect.

Why is everyone saying that the current expansion doesn't work/is no good, what ever?

In my experience Gates works perfectly. I know some of the Time guilds don't like some of the encounters, but that doesn't mean they don't work, just that they don't like the designers interpretation.

So what is everyone talking about? Did I get the only GoD download that works or something?

It is very nice to see a new dragon come into the game as far as I am concerned.

And yep, I will be downloading it when it is released.

We must be the only ones Iluien. My GoD works perfectly too. My Billy Badass Zerk certainly isn't the pansy everyone else complains of. My zones are just fine, hell...everything is.

I wonder if getting a working GoD is like finding the Golden Ticket???

Makes me wonder what office Xmas parties are like...

"YOU! YEAH YOU! You're that *** who put that damn tradeskill container BS in GoD aren't you! You know how long it took me to debug that POS once it went live!!!"
