"Parallel service will operate on different servers, have different forums and not affect current EQII subscribers

Sony Online Entertainment unveiled a major parallel stride for EverQuest II and the catch-phrase is “Free-to-Play.”

This is not to say that EQII will be entirely free to play. Actually, the announcement is that there will be a parallel service offering that is intended to draw in new players and allow the game to grow."

This may get me to get into the game again. My highest toon before was only level 11 or so.

i think i got one up to 30, and if it is indeed free to play and doesn't cost money then i am sure several of my family members will play also

if enough peeps play on the servers it may just pull me away from WoW ;P

does anyone have an active Eq2 or station pass?? if so you can try out the new EQ2 extended...

I definitely give it a shot, depending on what kind of timesink other games provide.

That will honestly be one of, if not THE, best F2P on the market.

http://everquest2.com/_themes/defaul...shipMatrix.jpg is the matrix on the pay scale and what you get,

it looks like if nothing else you would want to purchase 1k coins for 10$ just to get the silver tier, the gold looks pretty basic to eq2 live, and the platinium looks pretty good, if you get every thing in gold + 500 coins a month that is a value of 240$ none counting the extra perks of lvl 90 and Sentinals Fate ( although i think you do have to buy the expansion separately to get the full benifits of that expansion...)

Can't send mail. I guess that's a spam prevention one.

Any word on whether you can jump between subscription and F2P?

You can but because they r on diff servers you won't be able to play your f2p char on you subscription or vis versa when you decide not to pay for a month

Ohhh, F2P is different servers. So for guild play, we'd have to decide to be F2P or not.
