Maybe after I get all my characters keyed for Veeshan's Peak, Sleeper's Tomb, Vex Thal, Time, whatever the hell the top GoD zone is, Anguish, and finish all the DoN progression missions I'll think about buying the latest crappy expansions. By then there should be a Rubicite Edition of EQ with all 20 expansions for 7.99

Boycotted PoR as my responce to the January rollbacks. I still have plenty pre-PoR to keep me busy.

I retired out of EQ before the Freeport revamps so I'm not up on the current lore but, lokking at the included links, shouldn't the Plane of Music include Miss Ayonae Ro?

My main is epicless, I have done the POJ trials with all 3 of my toons over 46 and thats it. I don't have enough time to get access to all of these zones. :(

As of this posting it looks like 54% of the people either don't have it or have done nothing with it. What does that tell you about this expansion? Only 2 people have beaten it, whooppee!!!!!

I only got it for the extra bank slots and do not have any of my characters anywhere near a level that they can, if they chose to, do any of the progressions. There is still a lot of zones and mobs and things to do out there, so it may be, as one person says the Rubicite Edition for $7.99 might be out, before I think about doing any PoR.

Oh yeah, the next expansion that has been announced, and is a Download, I will more than likely not purchase. I prefer to have it on disk.

Don't buy expansions anymore, since this no drop policy instituted at Gulf of Gunthark, explosion of bazaar costs and the greed of SoE; I find myself falling further behind all the time. No reason to buy expansions when can't even begin to get all the spells from WoS expansion

Too many expansions just goes to show that SoE doesn't give a *&^* about the gaming experience or the customer service issues; they're primarily concerned with milking EQ players for new money.

When the majority of players can't keep up with the progression of the newest expansion and are working on content three expansions eariler you would think Sony would pull their head out and work on gaming aspects that affect the majority of their subsription base and stop producing new expansions.

I for one won't be buying another EQ expansion.

My guild just needs to kill Sullon Zek to get in to Deathknell.

I got the PoR expansion, haven't a clue why I bought it since I just popped in to the first zone once for 30 minutes and never went back.
My main is lvl 68 and will probably never advance further, lost interest in leveling when I realized I will never get my 69 and 70 OoW spells, so falling behind more and more. Doubt I am geared for advancing in any new expansions SoE throws at us since I'm giving up on progression. Impossible for a casual like me when getting any new spells is made so hard. I doubt it will be any easier to get new spells when they raise the cap to 75.

I have done quite a few gear tasks in Ro, and would recommend them to anyone, they drop great gear for limited time commitment. and petjoh take heart, at one time I thought I would never get my 69-70 OOW spells and the wife and I almost retired. We geared up and started going to MPG on a daily basis and camped TC/BH, Odi/Ghio and got a few, but our real money maker was Battlemaster Denik. You'll need a pet pull class, a bard, or a FD class to split the camp but it is well worth it. At this time my sk is only missing one spell and that's the 69 DoN raid spell (see other posts, I do not and will not raid)

sales of an expansion pay for the developement of that expansion. how hard is that to understand?

I'd say a majority of sony's post-65 playerbase has done at least a couple ro zones. if you're too stupid to figure out how arcstone/relic etc own for the casual player, you should go play lincoln logs or something.

Wow Sir Groogle.... I mean really.... WOW. Your rudeness is stunning.

I am still catching up on the other expantions to try PoR. Give me a year or so and i might get it. And give SoE a couple of years to fix all the bugs they still have.

Thought about it.
I can't be bothered with it.
The majority of my guild has yet to do it too.
With each expansion, SOE seem to be edging EQ closer to being task and instance based, if I wanted to play something to do nothing but endless tasks with minimal rewards I'd play EQ2. Coming from AB, where they've taken several months to fix our instance problems (most instances were taking up to 20-30 minutes to load, some raid zones over an hour) I'm not enthusiastic about playing in the expansion which caused the problems in the first place.

Dear Sir Groggle. below I have included your quote from my earlier remarks.
Why don't you just admit you have been placed here as a shill for Sony. Going on, your first "question"-- "what no drop policy"- duh Gulf of Gunthark was first expansion where new spells were no drop, after that everything became no drop or it's corrolary "attuneable". Your second "question"-- "what explosion of bazaar costs"- You must really have your head where the sun don't shine.Also I noticed you didn't address my cavaet "greed of SoE"- your silence on this issue is overwhelming testimony to the blatant face of SoE greed and stupidity. Thanks for your welcome feedback that can rebutted so easily. I suggest you keep your alleged "thoughts" to yourself in the future. If you want to really qualify any of your remarks/"thoughts" as requiring anything but a subliminal animal response to truth and light; then Duh, keep up the good work because you sure make a big glaring target and reflecton of SoE corporate stupidity.

The quoted paragraph is a very narrow-minded thought. Even assuming you're right that a "majority" of players can't keep up with the ever evolving content, how does producing new expansions decrease the amount of content available to this majority?

Not only does it add new challenging encounters for the "minority" who are able to keep up with the content, but allows alternate paths of progression (often easier) for the more casual "majority" allowing them to experience a) new content in the new expansion and b) content from previous expansions they were previously unable/unwilling to partake in. I don't believe for a second that because there's a new raid zone that raid_guild_001 decides to start raiding, that casual_guild_001 can't still enjoy the content that was already there.

Basically what you're saying is "I can't keep up, so I don't want other people to have fun with new stuff." Sir Groogle certainly was on the money with his critique of your thoughts, if a bit rough around the edges... and no, you're not special and if you're offended by what he said, that's your problem, not his.

Corollary: Making up the term "no drop policy that started in Gulf of Gunthak" does not suddenly make that term meaningful to anyone but you.

It doesn't hurt to have new content for those who want it, and anything that makes the game world bigger is only plus for someone like me who lives to explore and see new things.

The major drawback however is the unavoidable fact that new item content often trivializes old item content, making the rewards for completing old content much less appealing or even useful. Sure, you can argue that you dont HAVE to go to the bazaar and buy the new gear, but then again when everyone else is using it you almost have to in order to remain competitive. The only answer is to never have new content, which I don't think many sane people would ever care for. When the new content stops coming, the death-clock starts ticking.
