I tried to log in but I get an unauthorized error? It's the same account I am playing Agnarr on in EQ so I should be able to play on the EQ2 TLE right?
so this tle progression server is just temporary.... hmmmm any idea if there is going to be a new progression server or if there will ever be one.... I wasn't aware when stormhold started and once i was everyone had started leaving LOL because of balancing and item issues Anyways, I hope there will be a new balanced TLE server soon - I miss Everquest 2 and though i wish that it would get a face lift one day, i am ok to returning to a more nostalgic period and playing with people on a paid server - i still hate what happened to Eq2 and many other games during the F2P hype that destroyed mmos for me.
Fallen Gate is a new TLE server coming soon. The current Beta sounds like it will last a week or so, then there will be some time before it launches... I'm thinking late June/Early July. Originally it was announced as a set 12 week schedule to release new expansions (whether they have changed their minds on that we shall see when officially announced with dates and rules). It will definitely be a permanent TLE server starting at the beginning of the game though. Some things that were discussed were whether Beastlords and Channelers would be available at launch. I'm sure /claims will be restricted like on Stormhold, and Vitality potions will probably be unavailable at launch. We should see some more official news in the next week or so.
Well, T5 raid gear is still borked and it looks like they nerfed and/or outright broke the Prismatics rewards (e.g.: two handed weapons having identical stats as one handed, etc.)
Has it been answered what exactly a "Fallen Gate Beta Box" has in it? Also "We’ll be testing a queue system for EverQuest 2 during this time. Don’t be alarmed if you have a short wait when logging into these beta servers." Yeah, as if there's enough people to really justify queues. Unless you're capping the number of players to 100 per server, you're not likely to see enough people on one server to ever need a queue in the first place. This is perhaps something you should've tested in, say... 2005?
For a period of time at launch, I fully expect FG to be the most populated server. Do not forget that there are rewards for players on all other servers if they play on FG to at least complete heritage quests. It is almost as if they are trying to drive population to FG. There should be no shortage of groups. Raids may be a different thing. Not sure how many heritage quests require raids. If they succeed in driving pretty much the entire EQ2 population to Fallen Gate, then they may very well need a queue system.
I am glad to see a beta server, hopefully they will be able to balance things a little better this go round.
You really think its a real beta and that they will change stuff based on our feedback? They didnt for Stormhold... Also, why not allow people to boost characters so we can test heroics and raids and making sure they even drop loot (DoF) especially and raids to see if they are tuned properly? Who honestly cares about the 1-30 content?
