But how are they going to make eq mac free to play.
Are they going to end up adding an item shop and all the other "Free to Play"" things onto the server?
If so that would slowly drown out the experience lol.

No marketplace was going to be created last I checked Smed's statements.
They are leaving it up with minimal to no customer support because it doesn't require them that much resources. And they know that if they keep these people happy its feasible they may be customers for EQNext.
Al'Kabor is quite awesome from my experiences on it. There are a few things that I find annoying (that are classic):
- Can't scroll with mouse wheel. Only 1st person or F9 options
- Less command keys. No strafe for easy bard AE kiting, among others
- No auto-stand. If you're in a spellbook you can't press your run arrow and get you out of the book you have to manually stand then run.
- No auto-sit for camp. Small issue but you have to sit before you actually camp.
- No Mana value in UI information. The game doesn't register this if you try to modify your EQUI_Inventory file and add in the mana value.
The pros:
- You can box -- No getting stuck with crappy/afk people or having to sit LFG for 20 hours and never get a group
- No exp penalties
- There are some newbie armor quests -- These have Pre-LoY stats, which are way lower than what you see on allkahazam, but they are still nice goals to aim for pre-20s instead of just a mindless grind
- Buffs hit all levels -- Level 65 buffs make leveling cake.
- PoP... best expansion in game.
