different strokes for different folks

my buddy threw a huge party on saturday brought in DJ's from europe and everything, and i just felt like i wanted to stay in and play EQ. perfectly happy and i'm sure i wont regret it haha

I would rather see a polished and complete bug-free and issue-free product released, rather than something rushed out weeks in advance to coincide with school holidays in some part of the world. I expect the date that has been chosen has been chosen because the developers believe it will be ready at that time. I'm sure if the developers feel it is ready for release earlier than that date, then they may indeed release it before the 25th of March. By the same token, if it's not ready by the 25th of March then it may be postponed further to ensure that we all receive a quality gaming experience.

Well put

I'd be happy to test Kunark.

All you have to do is copy my characters over again. I'm not interested in testing anything when I have to revert back from 49 to low 20's.

Ran into the same problem. I'm a lvl 42 naked chanter :\. I don't mind the levels tbh, but being naked wasn't much fun @ level 1.

To all the people wanting a new server copy:

perhaps you don't realize there's a 500 percent xp bonus in beta?

I've leveled an iksar monk to lvl 55 now... and I only play a few hours on the weekends.

The devs on the beta are extremely helpful in giving out buffs and gear when they see that you're actually putting in an effort to help test stuff.

(i.e. my GF's lvl 55 druid is in full elder spiritist gear and has a mind buff that lasts 7000 mins that gives infinite mana, my sister's lvl 55 chanter (that I currently box on there) has a mana robe, and my monk has a fungi tunic).

Don't expect to log in there and get tons of freebies handed out for fun, but if you show that you're putting in the effort, you will be rewarded!

cheers!

I would assume it also has something to do with gear upgrades since the last one.

Sorry but I studied English and a button of mine is people misusing the word "pithy" in an attempt to degrade something. The term means quite the opposite...
