Where can I buy this amazing product?

My friend who has all access said it was only 30 normal 45 collectors for him. Is there a special price for all access members?

I would have to know what each item did/benefits/stats before contemplating a pre-order. And anything else, like changes/additions below 70th level that are going to happen.

This says limited time. Until when is this available? Will this run at least into next week sometime? (Asking since some folks have already left for SoE Live and may not see this until they return at the end of the week.)

Wow is all i can say you are offering very little in the way of new zones just reusing the previous garbage ;literally reusing the same graphics from Vellios , And you think this is worth 40 dollars. What a joke. You guys really were lazy and uninventive for this expansion. I can see a mass exodus happening in EQ very soon but maybe this is your plan

So do you have to have VoA to get this expansion?

If you don't have VoA and buy RoF, you will get VoA. You won't have access to VoA until RoF goes live though.

Based on similar wording for past release announcemtns, the limited time only part only applies to getting the Harbinger's Staff and the Fear Corrupted Phase Spider Metamorph Token. And it probably runs through 11:59 PM Pacific Time on the day before release.

What exactly does a Metamorph Token do?

What is "Evantil’s Abode" House? or just a neighborhood placement? and "Thulian Bracelet of the Severed Hand" you guys should have links to these extra items..probable would be a good "Marketing Tool"....but then again SoE and marketing are like oil and vinegar.

They are incoming, some of the models and such aren't finished yet.

You must not have been on EQ long. A large portion of the playerbase wants to see things like this. Why do you think the Living Legacy revamps succeeded so well and things like Freeport/East Commons revamps were generally frowned upon. The game is 13 years old, and much of the player base that clings to said game have been here through all 13 years.

Nostalgia sells. And not everything is about shiny new pixels.

Btw if you're looking for amazing realistic mega-graphics, you're on, not only the wrong game, but the wrong game genre.

In addition to screenshots I would like to know what each item does and if it offers any in-game benefits. Also it would be good to list the quantity of each item received (999, 1, etc.).

What exactly is "Collectors Only Collection Quest" and does it provide any in-game benefits?

We'll definitely work on getting that to you.

It's a combination familiar/petamorph wand. If you have a pet it's a petamorph wand, if you don't it's a familiar.

Thanks Reprisal, the link answered a lot of questions I had.

Safe Travels

Am I reading this right? You can now buy off traders anywhere in the world? I read this and just sat here repeating "Noooo!" over and over, outraged at the loss of immersion and dumbing down.

Proving once again, people will complain about anything

Well, why not make it so you don't ever have to visit vendors as well? Let's just have everything able to be bought anywhere available instantly at your current location?

You know what? It's a pain having to travel even small distances to kill mobs. Why not make a button that places the mob you want to kill right in front of you, wherever you are?

Hey it's a pain to have to go talk to quest givers. Why not make quests available from anywhere and just have an accept button with objectives, no quest text, no story to step through. I'm so tired of this immersion. I just want to hit other pixels with my pixels!
