Hey! I never played on tlp pvp server in EQ2 so i wonder if most classes and races will be playable from start? What will the level cap be at start and how will the server progress? Thanks
24 of the 26 classes will be playable. Beastlord and Channeler are banned from TLE. All races are playable. The beta server starts in the Kingdom of Sky expansion at lvl 70 but the developers have yet to confirm what expansion the non-beta server will launch in. No information on how the server will progress has been provided but I'm assuming they will progress through expansions within a matter of months.
Ah thanks alot for the info!=) Just my luck since i wanted to try out a beastlord But now i know and can plan accordingly, thanks!
why are beastlords and channelers banned from TLE? reason i ask is i came back and was practicing on a beastlord, so.. dammit.
because they weren't released on live by that point in time, they would be very unbalanced as is common with those two classes.
Yeah, they'd be fun and I'd play them too, just for kicks, if they were there. However, the devs tried that on an early TL (Fallen Gate?) and they were way too OP for the TL-tuned vanilla and the early expansions. Their spell book drops are usually still in the game on the TLs, which is even more of a poke in the eye, but they're just vendor trash.
can they be traded in for other masters on the pvp server? I forget exactly how that worked, seems like it had to be opposite faction. We should definitely check if BL/channeler masters can be exchanged thru that NPC, and feedback it during beta if not.
Spellbook trading with an npc? I've never heard of that and it certainly doesn't exist on TLE servers.
In 2006, when PvP servers were introduced, factions were restricted in their choice of classes. For Keynos, there were good classes, for Freeport, there were evil classes. Accordingly, the corresponding NPCs were supplied to exchange M1 scrolls of opposite classes.
They did not implement that master exchange program until later on, but I did disco Lich from trading a pally master =)
