I wonder if SOE has any idea how much they may be shooting themselves in the foot here. Let's see if any of you have the same thing in mind I have:

I'm going to back to Live EQ, temporarily.

I'm going to ride my Holy Steed around in as many of the 400+ zones as I can survive in and see the sights from all the expansions I missed.

I'm going to say "HI!" to all of my old guildies and get back in touch with dozens of them that I haven't seen in many years.

Then I'm going to convince as many of them to come here as I possibly can, and NEVER log back into Live EQ again.

I wouldn't, while SOE are happy to ignore P1999's existance. I'd hate to have their great eye turned upon us because players are loudly recruiting for P1999 in possibly monitored channels.

Heh, well I wasn't going to /shout in POK about it or anything. Just a whole lot of /tells. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You will get some people, but not many.

Having to do corpse runs and losing 10% of a level or 2 hours of grouping for a single death isn't the idea of fun that many in EQLive share. Many are "too old for this shit" from what I gathered.

I agree with Odeseus. The restrictions are so harsh it just makes it not worth playing F2P EQ because you can't do much with it. If you want to do anything worthwhile you have to pay the sub. Tradeskillers are completely hosed with it. Not to mention the huge expanse of the game will make it hard to find people in some zones. The entire orientation of the game is set up to get players from lvl 1 to lvl 90 in as short a time as possible. However, upon arrival at lvl 90 no character is going to get much done unless they get the increased power spells, skills, and AAs.
I really am looking forward to EQNext which I assume will be F2P, but if they keep these kind of restrictions in, what's the point of it being F2P other than to get a look at the game before purchasing it?

Deezle and I have the same goal. Our old guild is functionally dead there, but scores of them (it was huge) may log back in, at which point they'll get a /tell about P99 and what we're doing here.

Screw SOE. They'll get nothing from me.

Oh, and I'm looking forward to running my old uber bard all over at hyperspeed, laughing as mobs try to cast on me with my 500+ in all resists. :P

What happens to those that played EQ Live many years ago and want to come back for this, but can't play their toons, us equipment, or any of that stuff?
