Oh and taunt means something [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yeah, taunt works in PVP...forces your target for the taunt duration - super cool PVP mechanic and a way to defend casters/healers besides just spam healing.

All these videos are less than 3 months into pvp launch

We charmed a main tank and scout evacced him to the zone in. I'm giving you that for free!

These are special servers for All Access members that are locked to a period in EverQuest II’s history.

Ehh, $15/month.. I'll pass.

I expect a lot of people to pass based on the fact it's behind the pay wall. All I can say is that I view it as a very big positive that people can't create multiple free accounts to do all sorts of shenanigans.

Also, you can trade in game currency for game time. For example, on the EQ progression servers currently you can get a krono (1 month subscription essentially) for about 1200 plat. Leveling up legit with my bro and cousin I just bought a FBSS for 2.5k among other things, I could have easily diverted that into krono and paid for my sub and both of theirs.

If you play a lot, you'll play for free.

As much nostalgia as goes around this place about different servers, one has to ask why don't they just play on whatever progression server exists for eq1. While I realize its not a wholly equal comparison, the reason is still very simple imo, that sony is still trying to cashcow eq1.

So why in the hell would I hook my utters up for a eq2 prog server? Equally preposterous, YOU CAN PLAY EQ2 FOR FREE RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE, and infact do the exact conversion you suggest within 'live' EQ2 after grinding long enough.

So I ask a very simple question, if this prog server is an interesting concept more than a PR stunt, why aren't you P2W EQ2 right this very minute instead of waiting until July 7th or w/e?

i beat eq the other day, didnt u hear? still loggin in for batphones tho.

also just resubbed eq2 tonight to get immersed b4 prog starts

after a night of grinding eq2 all i can say is WOW so many buttons. im at 4 hotbars at lv 25 and feel like i need more. really glad its limited to lv 50 on prog for a while just so i can figure out what my class is capable of. i do expect it to take that long.

tbh i could probably drop this heat vision shit off of there but you never know when im gonna need it.....

battlegrounds tomorrow dawgs. im gonna get rekt. i dont even know how to use the AA window yet. luckily no bg's or aa in initial prog, phew.

Didn't know they removed some of the faction restrictions, interesting. The mentoring system still in place? That was the one of the best ways I've seen in an MMO to play with pals who decide to show up to the party late.

and yes the mentoring system is still present. grouped with a scaled-down lv 95 earlier today. very odd/fun experience all things considered.

And I get what you are saying about farming, so bots won't ruin the economy or whatever, but still I think probably if most of the hype ITT thought about it they would realize they should just roll eq2 f2p for the lolz.

[Mr Popo]

FWIW I prefer eq1 for nostalgia and bcause its so impossibly hardmode. I don't really get either from eq2 even though objectively it is a much better game.
