I used to play EQ roughly 20 years ago and rejoined up about a year ago. I just don't have the hours of free time nor the regularity in my schedule that I did years ago to join a guild/raid/find groups, etc. Because of this, I've had a good time reliving "old times" by multiboxing and got 6 characters to level 66. Because I play sporadically, I can't justify 6 gold accounts at $90 a month, nor do I have the cash to pre-pay to save money. Would I pay $5 a month? Sure - but $15 is just too much of a drain for how often I play.
its 15.99 a month or just farm plat and buy a krono? I have no problems if you are FTP, its when you guys keep asking for more and more benefits that bother me
You need exactly one character to be all access and that's your tank. Depending on what content you're in you can equip carefully and even run a free tank though it's a challenge. You can get 30 days for the other characters to get autogrant and earn the necessary AA but you don't need to spend $90/month to field a 6 box crew
You could play on the Test server for free just /testcopy your current characters & you can play there as if you were all access & it has nice fast xp too. All I would say is please help by reporting any bugs you find - that's it.
