Who wants to play this?

I got no problem starting up a new toon to play with you guys, as I know how much you all hate subscriptions.

private servers?

New version of EQ that's free to play with paid bonuses.

ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

link please? <3

It should be the link on the right hand side on www.everquest2.com but direct link is: http://www.everquest2.com/free_to_play

Needs moar mobile EQ!

Harry!! I miss you!!

Also willing to give this a shot again tonight after sort of not doing much yesterday (we are all at about Lv7) but it really depends when I get home as I got some server work starting at 5:30 probably lasting for a couple of hours. Might end up going to bed especially with Scott Pilgrim keeping me up tomorrow night lol

Update:

Since there is some interest in this, I spent £35 to copy my main raiding character over to the free servers to act as a 'mentor' for anybody who is interested... However I moved myself over in 'heal spec' and currently nobody on the free server can make AA mirrors for me to change my spec!!!

Update 2:

Yesterday's patch notes mention that the EXP bonus provided by mentoring has now been increased, so this is more worthwhile

as cool and OP as you'll be, i think £35 is a bit well sudden at this point in time. I'm gonna see if it works here, as if this client works at Anna's your likely to have a new playmate who is looking forward to PvE

It's a one-off fee and it's only for people who have active Live subscriptions (to the non-free version of the game) so it wouldn't apply to yourself. It also only lets me keep the character on the free server if I maintain the Live subscription otherwise they downgrade it to Bronze/Silver membership. In my situation that would unequip all of my gear and downgrade all of my spells hehe.

Anna cannot connect to sever it fails to login each time, (i did try logging in myself each time but anna's laptop wouldn't do it)

Check firewall. It uses a HTTP loader on port 80.

Make sure you activate your account for the free version before trying to login with your expired Live account.

Update: Seems like it's a bug (lot's of problems here)
Also managed to switch Faeward over to melee spec and in classic me style I forgot to invest points in a certain OP healing ability, so I might have to respec again lol.

lol im alive lol i see eq is free so il make a char and have a go mite see you around in there some time lol ( if i get enough time to play that is lol

sounds awesome

Life feels better when you post on this forum Wigouche

When I return to University I think I may have a try at this if others do.

aww im sorry i dont post more often then lol

time just never seems to be on my side

I think we have 5 people playing this

If people want to continue from where we left off the last time...

We could do:
http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Blackburrow_Timeline
http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Stormhold_Timeline

Since they are connected to Antonica and provide better quest rewards, better loot, and more achievement experience than the standard overland zones.

I get back around 7pm tonight so hopefully, if people want to play for maybe a couple of hours we could get all of that stuff completed.

Update: http://everquest2.com/free_to_play - this page was updated about 30 minutes ago and it is now easier to sign up if you haven't already. I wonder if it still spams you about upgrading to gold all the time though?
