    A scroll case that upgrades a spell that upgrades another spell to Ancient?

    Please, please, PLEASE tell me which vendor sells or which mob drops the "Upgrade another spell to Ancient" spell!

    Me: Goodbye There is No Way I'm getting the Exp this year.

    EQ2 Dev: We are Finally going to the Moon

    Me: I'll Just lay this ($$$$) Right here and We can both forget what I said.

    Thank you for that! I was going to purchase Chaos Descending but since I have only thousands and not millions ----
    You saved me $70

    The thing is, the upper reaches of the game/difficulty levels would have to be retuned so spell research isn't necesssary, OR spell drops and rare mats for spellcrafting would have to be retuned to drop a whole lot more frequently. They need to eliminate the whole pay to win end game, but they can't just yank it all out without a lot of retuning.

    That's about the only way players will accept this game effectively going back to being sub-only for the long run, though. Just plopping a new server up with the bolted-on pay to win at the end is going to empty out that server once everybody gets to end game.

    I wish they had thought this through better and truly made a non-pay-to-win, sub-only live server like ArcheAge just did. That could become perpetual. Then they could leave most of the cash shop up, and sell yearly expansions. Sub-only TL Progs could continue on, too, because they are different than live, and quite fun (including hopefully a new permanent Deathtoll in early 2020, per the current dev discussion rumors on Discord).

    Luclin, How magical. I have forever wondered about the forgotten fate of the celestial body above us. This is Truly a great moment for all Norrath!

    Hey all. I am looking forward to this. I am actually a returning player, I was a part of the community starting with PreOrder back in 2003(had my journeyman's boot and everything), and trying to see if my account and characters are recoverable. 15 years, wow, never actually thought it would make it this long. Thanks for keeping this going, Daybreak!

    With the level increase, will there be an AA increase, too?

    November 5th.
    On that day, the presale goes into effect.

    What's with all the typos in your announcement? If this is really a "momentous occasion", it would have deserved double checking!

    When the pre-order goes live, How long with it be available to buy. I don't get my Social Security check till the 3rd and it's all but spent on living essentials. I would be disappointed if it's only for a day or two. I would really like to buy the bonus pack, but I don't see anytime table for this.

    There is no timetable because we don't know when launch will be. We know it's in December, but that's it. Pre-sale starts on 05 November, so there should be plenty of time.

    Is there any info about the cost of the pre-order options?

    Will there be an expansion Live Stream to show off some zones and items this year?

    Well.. they have the same 3 options: standard, collecter's, and premium, so if you know the price of this expac, and the previous, then you know the price of the next. The only thing we don't know is the new "family and friends bundle" price. The post said it'll be costly so I would expect no less than double the premium edition

    If they allow lvl 90's, the economy will be unbalanced to begin with. High level characters will be raking in the plat selling rares to natural leveling players. They should reconsider the level 90 addition, I think.
  20. Dude Well-Known Member

    I agree. I think it should be more like a TLE, but everything is open up to AoM for a year and then they open each following expansion on a regular schedule.
