I'm stoked, can't wait to have fun for a year or more on Aradune. Video Games are meant to enjoy(unless you play for money I guess), if you don't enjoy EQ then play something else. You shouldn't play EQ just because you expect them to cater to you. The active GM support and the 2 character limit is a huge boon for me, they used common sense for once. You can always have a leveling partner but can't make yourself into a full group. I get the hate on PoP lock, but I will enjoy it, I started late on Agnarr(Mid-late Velious) so I quit as soon as Coirnav got announced. Now I can go into it knowing I plan on playing Classic-Finish.
