I'm currently playing the trial, waiting until next week when I get paid so I can buy the retail of this game.
I'm curious of two things. I create a second window for combat, and place it on the right side of the screen. I have the fonts in both my chat (left) and combat (right) window set to 14, as well as various configs to make sure the left window is only chat, the right window is only combat, etc.
The problem is, after I log out and log back in (camp to character select even triggers this), my combat window is gone, and the font in my main window increases to 19. All the main window filter configs are still active, so it won't show combat. Due to the way the system works, creating the second window automatically checks everything that the primary window has unchecked, so I've suddenly got NPC tells and misses going into my window when I'd turned them off.
I google'd it, and found a suggestion to delete eq2_recent.ini, but that didn't do anything for me. Anyone know what I can do?
And I have a question. I see on the site Splitpaw Saga and Desert of Flames. One is marked as Adventure Pack 2, the other doesn't seem to say (didn't look too hard). What's the difference between Expansion Packs and Adventure Packs? If there's already an Adventure Pack 2, what was 1? Do we pay for Adventure Packs (if they are seperate from expansions)? Any information on these two things would be greatly appreciated.

Chat windows disappearing. And expansions?Follow
I have no idea about your chat window problem, good luck on that, may be a bug, I'd do a /bug.
The difference between adventure packs and expansions, is that adventure packs are $7 (they are included with a Station Pass)for unlocking 1 area and a main boss with a bunch of new quests to go with it. They can be a lot of fun and both the new ones scale to your level so can add another place to level so the path to 50 won't be so linear.
Expansions are slated to be once every 4-6 months or so, they said. If EQ1 was any indication, there will be new cities, continents, races and classes. In later expansions they will likely cater 70%ish to end-game raid guilds and 30%ish to the more relaxed gamers who like to play around rather than do everything end game. This in my opinion is why they add new races and classes. I also hear that they are planning to raise the level cap to 60, and I heard rumors that they have 5 years of lore developed and a possible level cap of 250 0.o
Hope this helps in any way.

Its bug. It actually was a bug on game release, then they fixed it after a few weeks. It came back again with the Splitpaw prerelease update. Probably only going to be a probablem for a short time.
This happens to me sometimes. I have 4 chat windows. My main one disappears sometimes. I hit enter and it's back. The fonts are bugged I'm pretty sure. They just released new fonts so I'm sure they broke something doing that. I have to scale my fonts down everytime I log in. I've /bugged it a few times. /crosses his fingers and hopes they fix it soon cause it is annoying.
Adventure packs and expansions. The difference is that adventure packs are small and deal with a single subject or race or what have you. They may add a few zones and quests but it's not a big deal. Expansion packs add new races, classes, spells, lots of zones, new areas, all kinds of stuff. Similar to an adventure pack only bigger. It costs more too. 30 bucks for an expansion 4-7 bucks for an adventure pack. I have the all access subscription so I get the adventure packs free with that. I'll have to by the expansion though.
You should be able to pick up the game now for 30 bucks. A friend of mine got that. Of course the collectors addition is more but I didn't buy it. I'm cheap. =P

Its weird, I have the same bug, but only on one computer, not the other. Its quite annoying. Interesting that some of you think its font related. I'll try and set the fonts on the bugged comp to the fonts on the non-bugged, and see if the window quits disappearing. I'll let you know if it works.
I started getting this on my two 'extra' chat windows after I reinstalled the game due to a hard drive failure. The failure happened after the Splitpaw pre-release came out.
Before I reinstalled the windows opened when I logged in as I configured them. After, I need to open them manually. One of them has the settings I configured, the other does not. "Open Existing Chat Window" and "Open New Chat Window" behave the same way. (Maybe that's the problem.)

I have the same problem. On my main I have 4 chat windows they work fine. On any of my alts I have 4 chat windows but when I log on to an alt only one chat window will be open.
I can open all the rest put only the the 2nd wondow or the first one I open will remeber its settings all the rest will be set to accept all items.
Sony patch's and fix's a hand full of small items and breaks a Doz more :P

I didn't do anything with my fonts, but all my additional windows disappear everytime I log any of characters.

I have this problem as well but it is only affecting one of my characters. This character, my froggy, is my newest.
Try duplicating a working character.ini file.
Usually something like
Antonia_Bayle_Asphe_<I forget>.ini
Since I have more than one character, I 'synchronize' my settings by making copies of the main character's UI settings and then jsut renaming them.

I don't like the new fonts. Wish they'd make it an option instead of default. Good thing I knew how to switch back.

The newest patch is supposed to have fixed this problem.
I was just wondering if anyone has any more information on this problem. I have had this problem since I started back up the end of last month. It is kind of annoying even if it easy to get around.
