Kind of a stupid remark, considering.....as if someone out there is playing EQ, but didn't bother buying EQ(original) or Kunark, or even Velious; doubt ya'd get anywhere without LoY anyhow, since alot of zones are based upon them, and ya can forget about using the Magus! Most people stopped buying exp's after DoN+ because they were no longer interested in the features, or simply can't / couldn't afford them. BTW --- i just DLed TSS about 2 weeks ago...and the ONLY 2 reasons were.....the 75 lvl cap increase and to update questable gear, that intails TSS to aquire....otherwise I wouldn't have bothered....but ya can count me OUT for any further EQ expansions indefintely, unless there is some wonderous feature that i can't live without. (But i seriously doubt it) If SOE would concentrate on updating older zones / bugs / broken quests.... or perhaps, maybe even come out with an expansion, aimed towards the soling / duoing players of EQ, and less focus on Uber Raid guild types, they might actually gain more players, new and returning! That's my opinion, and it seems as tho I have not read one single +positive post about the new exp coming ..... looks like there are more dedicated players out there, that play for the enjoyment of it, not so much the "w00t, look at me, i'm in XYZ UberRaidguild, and have the best gear in the game, can solo a lvl: 85 mob with one eye closed and 2 hands tied behind my back...."
I'd be happy, eventually making lvl:75, having TSS quest gear+, if possible, being able to solo a 70-75 mob, and getting decent/great bazaar sellable items, but for now, i have all the EQ exp i need! --- Besides, been playing 2.1 years (this time around), and bought the EQ plat, then 2 months later bought OoW, then DoN...DoDh...PoR...now TSS, and yet another ones is coming, if the quality of gameplay was a fraction of the quantity they are producing for exp after exp....then they might be onto something, but seems as though the almight $$$ is the bottom line....! Greed, makes even the strongest will, falter.
