Which EQII to buy?Follow

Started the trial, wondering why I ever played WoW. Anywho, does the collectors edition include all the expansions? If I buy Echoes of Faydwer, will that include everything?

Thanks fo your replies!

the Collector's Tin is just the original game, with an added in-game pet, and some extra out of game goodies (CD soundtrack, bonus DVD with movies and such, collectors coin, and artbook). personal recommendation, go ahead and buy the collector's tin, as well as the EoF retail version. only reason for that recommendation is because the collector's edition if getting rarer and rarer, so get it while you can, if you want all the goodies.

Echoes of Faydwer comes with all expansions and the base game for $40. If you buy EQ classic for $10 you have to buy DoF and KoS for $30 a piece + EoF for $40. The EoF box will save you $50 =).
Bloodline Chronicles 4.99
Splitpaw Saga 7.99
Fallen Dynasty 7.99
If you get a Station Access account these are included for free but you pay more because it includes all of sony's games.(I think it's at $30 a month now.)

You can't buy the collector's editoin anymore can you?

Thanks for all the replies! Much friendlier player base than WoW too =)

We hear that a lot :)

Picked up a collectors tin in November 2006 when I started playing. The baby dragon that comes with it is cool but it is only a house item. I was glad I bought it, then i went and bought EOF when it came out.

This thread helped me out also. I'm buying the retail box that has EoF on it, and it comes with everything about EQ2 except that collecter thing which i dont really want, correct?

You won't get the three Adventure Packs (Bloodlines, Splitpaw, and that other one...), but you get the base game and all three expansions. None of the Adventure Packs are required to enjoy all the benefits of the game. But they're fun :)

Nothing so exciting. There are small bonuses, like some illusions, a handy spell or item or maybe something for your home, but for the most part they are exactly what they sound like: another fun place to adventure with a special theme.

Let's see...

Splitpaw had some house items and is a great place to grind levels from (someone check me) 20 to 50; Bloodlines has some house items and some recipe books for spells only available with the AP and faction; Fallen Dynasty (that's the one I could remember) was beautifully deep on Lore, had some nice crafter items and I hear the raids were fun.

The idea behind an adventure pack is they're a little add-on for extra content between expansions, and are not necessary for the game, like an expansion with a new race might be.

yes, that is the version you need, the retail box version of Echoes of Faydwer.
