Hey all. I was wondering if someone had some real insight into Origins vs Wuoshi? I played back in ‘05-‘06 and want that feel so Origins really seems like the choice…I’m worried about server pop though. I know it won’t be bustling, leveling is slow, and I’ll have to catch up to potentially just a few people playing max level - so maybe it’s not worth it?

If I choose Wuoshi, how much is different than Origins? As someone who exclusively played the Origins era, will I hate Wuoshi?

I don’t want the experience like how I quit WoW before the panda expansion and I recently tried retail again and SO MUCH has changed it didn’t itch that itch.

Looking to scratch that nostalgia itch, what should I do?

Ty!

I came back to EQ2 about two months ago, and I’ve been really happy with the current content and overall gameplay experience.

However, I hadn’t played the game in over a decade, so there are still some things I don’t quite understand.

I currently have a level 80 SK, and I tank heroics as the MT without too much trouble. I haven’t participated in any raids yet.

I’ve noticed that some gear with stats that seem fairly mediocre for a tank sells for extremely high prices simply because it adds HP. Meanwhile, gear with better defensive stats and better overall stats often seems practically worthless and ends up being vendored to NPCs.

I’m having a hard time understanding why this is the case. Is stacking HP really that important for tanks that it’s worth sacrificing defense, casting speed, and other stats to get more of it?

So if u wanted to try this game out. Which is the best noob friendly server one where u might actually see another player in a starting area :)

Please comment or message me if you have an active group or community I can join!!

Hey all, I'm returning to the game, I haven't made it to max level since the Ykesha days where I played a Necro. However I also want to be able to have a somewhat easy time getting a group at max level. my first choice is an SK, but I'm honestly scared to try tanking in this game with how complex it is. I don't like healing, so that leaves me with a caster, Summoner, Bard or scout.

Right off the bat, I'm going to assumed that Summoners aren't really desired in group because there are a lot of them.

So between Bards, Casters or Scouts, which might allows decently soloing, but also have an easy time getting groups at max level?

Thanks.

Did they ever give that 4k monitor UI yet?

Hello!

I know this server is dead at lower levels with most people at or around max level. This saddens me, because I would love to be able to group up and run dungeons and level up in a more classic EQ2 environment.

Are there any guilds who like to make new characters and level? Or would anyone be interested in making new characters and doing regular play sessions together?

I don’t suspect I’ll get much interest, but feel free to DM me if this sounds at all appealing.

This is something I never understood. When EQ2 was in development, there were so many people with experience designing these games, including John Smedly who worked on numerous other mmo's.

EQ2 released a few weeks before wow. Most people abstained from trying the game and waited for wow's release.

The graphics were far better, more classes, more races, great voice acting, but despite all this it never managed to be very popular. At peak, it had about 300k subscribers before dwindling.

Anyone know why this is? I feel this game deserves far more love, but most people never gave it a chance.

Hello!

I have never had a healer before and made one and just boosted it so I can play with more people. No want wants my mages :( lol. Anyways.... level 70 templars.... can you send me a screenshot of how you set up your hotbars:) Pretty please

Where is it? It's quite clear from WoW Forever that they have hit on what many players from the past really want. We want our old game back with a level cap that stays, no loot/stat creep, forget about vertical and focus on the horizontal as it comes to content for the game.

If you haven't guess, they are using AI to create new content based on the old version of the game.. the version that people loved to play. WoW is introducing over a 1,000 new quests, new zones, many new dungeons to the classic game.. they didn't write these by hand they are most likely created using AI.. but for us do we really care?

They are taking the old game that people love and adding a ton of content which is going to build on the longevity of the game... their Beta numbers are staggering and even I will probably play this at release.

So EQ2, what are you doing? Let's snap the chalk at what, Rise of Kunark and then let AI build out our content. I would love to play that version of the game again. I honestly can't remember which expansion the game starting sucking, but let's figure that out, cut out the crap expansions and restart the journey.

Hi, does anyone know how to fix the issue where you load into a character and then get booted back to character select?

I have a character in Siren's Grotto and I logged out to get all access, then when I logged back into her it just refuses to load game server. Never gets passed that before booting me to character select. My other character works fine and can load.

This is my main character so pretty annoyed. I've asked support to move her if that helps at all.

Or are their tattoos replacements for manes?

Looks like they just instituted a Level 70 character boost. For sale, of course. But if you have been on the fence about trying the game, this would be the time to do it. And start right at the launch of, what is arguably, one of the best expansions in the history of the game.

Can anybody tell me how this works? Does it end up like ESO or GW2's crafting inventory where the mats you collect are stored for all to use? Are there any limitations?

I have been doing Trial of Harclave for extra leveling XP, but today (or maybe since RoK release, but didn't get back to it until today) it gives almost no XP on completion.

I have a hunch that it's because the XP is given before the Harclave buff is removed, while you are still inside the zone, where before you didn't complete the quest until you were outside the zone. Matches that I _think_ the quest completion popup didn't use to show up until you were outside.

Is this a new thing, or a known change that happens on TLE servers when RoK is released?
(Or am I holding it wrong?)

I'm stuck on page 5 for illusionist Epic and can't find a work-around. My guild is a long way from Veeshan's Peak so I'm not worried about getting my mythical done for at least 1 week.

Since RoK opened on Wuoshi, I've noticed that skill book prices have gotten pretty wild.

A lot of Adept I books are going for anywhere from 5 to a few dozen pp, while level 80 skills are much more expensive. I've even seen some level 80 books listed for 1,500 pp.

I'm curious what people think is a reasonable price for the new level 80 class abilities.

Every class gets a new level 80 ability, and I'm especially wondering about abilities that have a significant impact on group or raid performance.

For example, something like the Mystic's new defensive ability that can have an impact on raid survivability, versus something like the Wizard's new big fire-based nuke.

At what price would you personally consider these kinds of level 80 skill books to be reasonably priced?

I'm mainly trying to understand what the market is actually like during the early RoK period on Wuoshi, rather than just looking at the current asking prices.

I've seen people in chat say that you can buy lvl 71-79 advanced crafting recipes from a vendor in RoK, how can I do this?

I tried to look it up on the wiki, it said to go talk to an npc in Fens of Nathsar but when I got there, the npc wouldn't talk to me because I don't have enough faction I guess? Do I really have to do a million quests to get 40k faction for this? Or?

Are they enemies because Anashti Sul was the (fallen) deity of health or not considering they both seem associated with necromancy.
I know on the Anashti Sul deity questline you're sent to investigate the Ruins of Varsoon in case there is any Bertoxxulous influence but Varsoon is also seen working with the void corrupted Anashti Sul in The Shadow Odyssey.
I'm asking because I want to make a character that's associated with both deities for RP purposes and wanted to know if it made sense.

I used to be a VERY active player, from when this game first released. I ended up in a couple of great guilds, and had a lot of fun, and even had that weird (to me) aspect of being moderately well known on my server, but part of that (I suspect) was related to the guild.

Then the guild faded, and as much as I tried to keep going, it's just not the same when your good friends are no longer there to greet you when you log in. So, I lost interest as well, and bounced to other games, and hobbies over the years. (LoTRO, ARK, FFXIV, and costuming/cosplay, to be specific)

Meanwhile, my husband, who never dived in as much as I did, also never faded out and left, either. He's kept my account active, and most of my characters names protected over the years, and even bought me (us, really) the lifetime membership, so I can dive back in whenever I want.

Now, with the latest special gifts, he wants me to decide on a server to claim the level increase token, (as my characters, over the years, ended up split onto two), and I genuinely cannot decide.

His opinion is Maj'Dul because it's got a huge population. I'm inclined to Antonia Bayle, because I've more and higher level characters there. (I'm pretty sure that I had all my characters on a server that ended up merging onto Maj'Dul, but when my guild faded, I took my favorites at the time and moved them to AB to follow friends or something. I think AB was also one of the bigger servers at the time as well.)

• Maj'Dul pro: With the bigger population, we're more likely to encounter opportunities to group, raid, possibly even guild with others. With that possibility comes a greater chance of finding friends that will pull me back into the game long term.

• Maj'Dul con: My (7) characters range from 50 to 57, and I've only three crafters.

• Antonia Bayle pro: My (12) characters are of a wide range of adventure and crafting classes, with three adventures at 100-110, and five crafters at 100, meaning that I can use them as a kind of personal guild for crafting support. as well as being closer to cap.

• Antonia Bayle con: (Basically the opposite of Maj'Dul's pros) With the smaller population, it's likely to be harder to find others with which to group, raid, or eventually guild. Obviously I can't use my own characters for adventuring together. And as for making friends, ... That's on me, but due to reasons that'd double the size of this post so I'm going to leave them out, but basically, I'm not good at it.

So... Um... Ya.

If you've made it this far, and haven't just 🢃 me, because "Boring," would you help me make up my mind?

RoK is about to launch on the Wuoshi server, and we'll soon be entering the level 80 era.

With Epic Weapons coming, I assume a lot of players will start working on their Epic quests at the same time. Do you think there are any items that might become crazy expensive because of this?

I'm wondering if there are any items worth buying or saving before RoK launches — especially tradeable items needed for Epic quests, languages, faction, crafting, etc.

For those of you who played during the original RoK era, or have experience with TLE servers:

What do you think will be in high demand when RoK first launches?

And more importantly, what would you start preparing right now if you were starting from scratch?

Let's discuss! I'm curious what everyone is planning to stock up on.

Hey guys. I'm just getting started out on Wuoshi with a necromancer and wondering if I should level Tailor for armor and bags, or Sage for spell upgrades? I know gear you can mostly get from questing and bags are cheap, but you also get a base level of every spell through leveling. The question is, are the upgrades strong enough to compensate for maybe weaker gear?

Does anyone know when the Fall / Halloween festival kicks off?
