ITs my understanding this new expansion will be download only? That being the case I have no plans to buy it. Not paying $30 for a expansion unless its storebought. Now if they offer a $5 discount for digital download then I might consider. Even so there is really no content I look forward to. I would lay money on it that any gear looted from a mob under lvl 40 will be junk because it will have strict required levels on it (much like the new gear dropping off new named in kunark hotzones). I also imagine the new zones will be rather laggy, and my toon isn't 70 yet so I am not even thinking about 75.

No content worth looking forward too? Where in gods green Earth did you get that from? Everything I have read says this expansion has more quests/missions than any previous expansion, and for all levels
If you play EQ, you can download the expansion - all it takes is Internet access and a valid credit card.
the main thing i hate is i keep buying them for 4 of my accounts the other 4 was titanium accounts so $20 each not bad but the other 4 was $20 for pok exp plus $20 for the first 3 exp, and hen $20 per exp after a couple i think were $30. i'm sure it's about $160 per account so far plus monthly fees. and the real kicker is 90% of each expansion after ldon was for lvl 50+ only a littl efor lower. and every one of my chacters is still under 51. 3 will be 51 in a month if i get time to play.
right now i have been playing around with shadow bane and anarchy online both games are 100% free now except for expansions. but you can play a lot of levels till then.

Helpful hint: they say that every expansion. E.g., this is at least the third expansion for all levels and a new class in the same expansion.
I echo the sentiment that I am disappointed they aren't selling it in retail stores. I am not sure when I will buy it now.

Like I said in my first post I figure the content for people under lvl 50 will be subpar. Since SOE has gotten strict with the required levels on gear I doubt any gear worth equiping will drop before you hit lvl 50. I imagine if you loot a sword from a lvl 45 mob it will probably ahve a required lvl 40 on it and be junk at lvl 40. I never did mind the recommended levels on gear, but I hate the required lvls. Too many items with a required lvl are junk because nobody wants it when they are high enough to use it.
Also as I said in my first post I figure the lag (ok speed issues since its not internet lag for those who want to get technical) will be poor in the new zones just because its a new expansion. I suppose this is not something I can blame on SOE as I am in need of a new video card (currently using geforce fx 5600).
Far as the high levels go there is plenty of hunting for high lvls right now. I also figure this expansion will pull away the people currently doing Dain MM's, which I love to do.

Having played regularly for over 5 years, I have to say that I agree with your skepticism, fronglo.
I think the concept of recommended and required levels on new gear was necessary, but as usual, I think they went overboard with the idea.
I still love EQ, and still enjoy playing it with my wife and friends, but I find that I am definitely more jaded when it comes to SOE and their proclamations.
after all this time with the $30 exp start price for each or most expansions that came out, i think it's time sony drops the prices on the expansions

Well unless you have no CC and you are on a dial up Hehehe even so I am not getting anyhow, will be over crowded and laggy as heck I am sure. I am 70L but still don't have my 69 and 70 level spells so whats the point and get higer level if you don't get spells to go with it?
Indeed, i keep my subscription up with Game Cards bought through retail, no CC...only chance i will have is to give a friend the cash and use their card...
here's one option for none credit card players sony should release a time card with the cd key for the expansion. it wouldn't cost them to much just to add the key and charge the extra amount,
or instead of paying $45 for a 90 day card 'guessing on cost' put an option on station web site to use a new card instead of getting the 3 months ,get the expansion and one month. exp cost about $30 and one month $15 still cost $45, they still get the $45 from you and you just have to by another 90day card in a month. only cost them a bit of time to make option on web site and trade cd key for 2 months of the 3 month card.

Just get someone with a debit/credit card to order it for you, and give them the cash. I do it for friends who play EQ.
