Game Beta OpportunityFollow

I already had an app in, I updated it to include this.

Bloody US Only servers.

:(

You could always pick up FFXI and play with Exo and Kelvy!

You could always move. Grumpy bloke.

Just registered and listed the Asylum as the guild.

Edit: Did you use forum=4 as the guild website or Angsty's site?

My 'inside joke' meter is broken, are you two really an item?

In, but I have very low expectations for this one.

LLLLLLLLOTR is going to break L-keys on keyboards everywhere thanks to Llllllllllegollllas.

Done and done. I'm signed up for Vanguard and Warhammer as well. I wonder if Vanguard is currently in beta now. I know release dates are not reliable on Electronics Boutique's website, but it has 7/1 as the release for Vanguard.

In the meantime, I'm determined to level a toon up as high as I can in EQ2 on the Antonia Bayle (RP) server.

That's all in the past, Bhodi. For my part, I'm sorry I was an ***. Moving on to the topic at hand -

I've always liked EQ2. I actually miss the progression levels (ex. scout -> bard -> troubadour or dirge). Still, it's nice to be the full class from the get go, too.

I've only been back in for about a month, but I like the new newbie island quests, the new solo quests for the city zones and outside city areas (I've got 10 toons and most of them are at level 15 but for the few I keep redoing - I think I have the toons I can stick with...but then again!). That armor from the caves quest for my Qeynosian alts has come in handy.

I haven't ever done much in the way of crafting, but I always thought it was kind of cool here in EQ2. I've been simply too busy leveling up my alts, deleting them and remaking them to have the time to deal with crafting.

Taking a break from leveling up my low level toons, I finally got the legendary journeymen boots for my lev 31 troubador. That was my first major accomplishment in the game and I was very happy about it. See my Zoom thread on that. I'm back to getting my other low level alts up to about 15 before I figure out which one I want to get to level 20 first.

I dig both cities now, where before I didn't care much for Freeport - I think after reading so many Warhammer novels I am preferring the grittier life than the sweet and rosy one in Qeynos. But then again, I know Qeynos better so it's easier to level up my toons - I could almost do it in my sleep by now.

What's your starting city, class/race combo for your main(s)?

Heh, I'm playing my Kerran Ranger right now. I prefer the scout classes for their versatility. But my monk barbarian and bezerker dwarf are fun as well. Dirges and troubs are really great utility classes and their speed is insane fun.

I'm on the Station Pass so I get the 4 extra toons. I know I'm gonna pick up Vanguard, so this way I won't have to pay another subscription fee while I continue with EQ2 - and if I really want to play SW Galaxies, EQ1, etc., I can. But most likely won't.

I figure once I get my alts up to 20, I'll have a better idea of which one I want to level up all the way as much as I can - I really love my troubadour, but my gnome dirge is just too hilarious not to level up.

Same here. Turbine did a good job with D&D Online in regards to character customization and look - so I'm hoping they will do well with LoTR.



Thanks Yan, I figured as much - I try to hit the Vanguard site at least a few times a week - I hadn't heard anything about open beta yet so I figured that 7/1 date on EB's site was bogus. Too bad, but then again, more time to really level up in EQ2!

Which game you play depends on whether you like Hobbit **** for its magical qualities or whether you like Hobbit **** because it's ersatz kiddie ****.
