    Thanks so much devs! I never got to experience the Isle because I came to the game after it was removed, but now I can. I'm 1,000 times more excited now! :)

    Servers aren't up yet, just character creation, so all we see is IoR. If you roll a neutral class you see both Queen's Colony and Outpost of the Overlord.

    Don't worry, there's a bell; I'll bet they're still in-game. And Exile NPCs are in DLW/FFS. I doubt they'll take them out altogether (plus they go to 20, and IoR greys out by 10).
  9. Naroc Active Member

    Exile NPCS are also in Freeport and Qeynos. While IoR greys out at 10, it allows for people to explore the various zones around the cities plus CL/ANT. I actually wouldn't mind if they removed Neriak and Halas until their proper expac era.

    That's awesome. Queen's colony was a pretty cool starter zone, i actually still have a level 10 gnome rogue with the legendary gear parked there from back in the day. I havent logged that gnome on since then, but its cool to see my gnome "still in" queens colony lol. :) (even though its supposedly disabled)

    If you poke me enough I might be actually persuaded to scrape up a screenshot of it :)

    For what purpose?) We're all will be at QC in 30 mins =)

    i'm ok with doing it at 10

    the problem i see here is that regardless of what anyone says, the first month IS a leveling race for economic advantage. there are a lot of us who never played these areas before, and only know DLW/frostfang.

    now instead of old timers and people who came to the game after being on even footing for the first, crucial 20 levels only those who still remember the old isle will have an advantage. and hell, can you even find appropriate wiki information about these quests?

    not asking for easy here as i do enjoy quest discovery, but as these areas have not been tested i'm also afraid of some old loophole or exploit that will be taken advantage of early and throw the server out of whack.

    we had level 50's on ragefire on day 3.

    http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Queen's_Colony - Google magic =) Advantage for those who remember IoR? Srly? Relax =)

    So if I make my char and sit at the (currently empty) server select screen, will it auto populate with the servers when they flip the switch? I'm excited for TLE and QC ... I've only ever known the original release Isle and DLW/FSS.
