    Ok, but you'll be out of minions while they are on cooldown or are you waiving the cooldown of them? So basically you can send out the remaining 10-12 quests with the crap no stat minions?

    That is exactly what I do Bautch98. Or since I am on the west coast, I stay up to Midnight, send a batch out, get them in the morning, and the yellow and blue overseer quests and agents used are usually reset by midday to use again. That's a bit too much sometimes, so I just use blue agents.

    should give quadruple hunters, all the time. Most people can't face doing the zones anymore for them, and don't want to play without them, so drift off to play other games. It's losing you money ^^

    Yeah, I am halfway expecting this idea to be a substitute for summer ethereals

    Well, hopefully, if the double currency is across the board, if we get quadruple and the F2P folks get double, that'd be something. :)

    I'm sure the devs we have are doing the best they can with the ancient equipment they have access to. This may very well be their way of installing or upgrading or whatever it is they need to do; if the "financial sheets" are as lucrative as you say, they may have gotten new equipment that needs folding in. ;->

    What does the x2 mean? Double xp then doubled again?

    (sorry if this is a stupid question)

    I hope they bury the summer ethereal's never to be seen again... Leave the cabal coins and add items equal to the rewards already offered for the cabal coins. Not the ridiculous stat ethereal gear.

    I got so many alts on each of my accounts so I don't have enough missions to run 20 .
    deamweaver said they are preforming another Server migration .

    Halls of Fate went down .


    and it's back

    Don't think I'd call anything lucrative in regards to EQ2. It was revealed to be the lowest revenue on their totem pole. The only way they're affording to do any meaningful upgrades ( if they even are, the downtime just could be nothing more than covering their butts for maintenance of current hardware going south ) is they're either robbing their other games revenue or EG7 is funding it, losing money hoping it'll bring more in eventually in return.

    So I appreciate all the work that's being done and absolutely love playing EQ2, but why are the rewards for members only? Surely I'm not the only person who is a long term veteran player who just can't afford membership right now due to covid and/or other financial issues. EQ2 is one of the few things I'm able to do right now, so it's not like the downtimes didn't effect me even though I'm not a member. I kind of understand why that choice was made but ouch.

    you get double xp as a non member , members get double /double xp , and if you own the last expansion you get double Overseer .

    Decided to try out EQ2 after playing EQ1 a bit and then I read this, welcome to EQ2 to me I guess, hope I don't level too quickly :D
  15. Schmetterling Well-Known Member

    Predox I suggest to you , you try out EQ2 on Stormhold first , Stormhold is a Time Locked server and the mechanics are
    simpler than on the regular servers , and the level cap is locked at level 90 for some more months .

    Once you get used to the game , you can still make another character or 2 or 3 , or 4 .

    Will this also include Crafting XP, as well as, Adventure XP?
  17. Bludd Well-Known Member

    yes should do

    Saw the 'servers coming down at late tonight PDT for 24 hours' after I logged in today. I forget the exact time. Likely in the first post.

    That's correct. They'll be down for maintenance by 12:00 AM PDT but likely come down a little earlier, I'll be reminding everyone today.
  20. Wulfgyr I've got friends in EQ2Wire places

    How much is a little earlier? Or did someone forget to feed the hamsters?
