Allakhazam's EQ2 WebsiteFollow

Since 4 million people play WoW and only a handful of people play EQ2, then Allah devotes more time to WoW. I don't blame him at all.

Plus the majority of the immature people who play EQ2 stay away from this board which allows for stimulated discussions and excellent help.

Even though you may have to wait a bit until you get your answer. Most of the people in this forum are polite and respectful.

Try finding those characteristics in the Wow and FXII forums.

Excellent point, I see it the same way. Nice post

I believe most of us already know about Ogaming, but it is not a superior site for my eq2 info, that is the game itself.

I, as others have said find the community better here. That is why I give them my pittance, it isnt much, and comes with a free magazine subscription.

Actually you did join this site for the forums. Since you didnt go premium for the search features, that is the only other reason for joining. You can read the forums and databases without being a member.

Here's a free life lesson for you. If you didn't join a site for the forums, don't start bashing the site on the very forums you had no intention of joining. It works out for everyone. Trust me.

Now, in regards to "most of the info is wrong anyway". Newsflash: ALL information on other sites is from players. You are bound to find flaws/differing opinions on everything you look up. Why not just go into the game and find out for yourself? I know for a fact that neither OGaming's search function nor the official site's are all that great. You will find many a flaw in the armor and quests because SOE is running large LU's monthly and is releasing new expansion packs every two months. It is almost impossible to keep up with the pace. Do your research before opening that gaping hole in your face.

Shussh!!!!


I know more then a handful of people play EQ2 but I was trying to discourage this person... His/Her mentality is better suited for the WoW crowd.

Don't let the cat outta da bag!

But that wouldn't have the same OBD feel to it. It's almost like his trademark now.

Flame me? ...kool

Did I pay for a premium account? The answer is yes. Allakhazam's EQ1 premium site is/was very much like Ogaming's website w/o the banner trash. I never complain about free sites even if I don't like them (It's free...dont gripe). I don't use the forums on Ogamings website much either. If you do not subscribe to Allakhazams EQ1 premium services, you get basically what get you pay for AK's premium EQ2 website. I wouldn't complain if I wasn't a PAYING subscriber knit wits! Look at the spell lists for goodness sakes...Necro spell list has quite a few errors. Is it my jod to submit sorrections? If it is, fine, but dont charge me for it. I was under the impression, as a former EQ1 website premium subscriber, that I would get the approximate same type of website as EQ1 (Which is/was nearly flawless to me). So go ahead a flame me, but I pay(ed)the $$. I just expected a comparable website like Allakhazam has established for EQ1. Btw, I'm not 14 years old...and it's pretty sad when nobody can voice there views w/o somebody flaming you. I paid my subscription & all I expected was a website that was good as EQ1. That too much to ask? Apparently it is for the EQ2 Forum *****....lol

I'd have to say I agree with this - the value just isn't there. I used Alla all the time for *years* on EQ1, and I didn't have the slightest issue with paying for it. When I switched to WoW, I was pleased to find that Alla was still a very useful resource, and kept up my premium sub. In that game, too, when people were asking for help with quests, equipment, etc, I'd send a tell to "check out allakhazam.com". But for EQ2, there's just very little here. Its not just this site - pretty much every EQ2 site I've seen is vestigial and poorly maintained - except for OGaming. Yeah, I know, plat sellers are bankrolling it, but at least it has some useful content.

I would very much prefer to get my EQ2 help here, and would be happy to keep paying for a subscription. But there needs to be a *lot* more useable information here for that to be worthwhile. If he can do it for EQ1 and WoW, he can do it for EQ2. Word gets around - if the content is here, the traffic will increase, the subs will go up - everybody wins. The EQ2 community clearly feels a need for a good site, or OGaming would not be doing so well. I hope one of the "good guys" like Alla will give us a better alternative.
