Very dishonest and not FTP. all i see this doing is hurting soe sub count cause the only people willing to drop money on EQ2 are the ones currently subscribed and they will more than likely pay the 1 times fees and stop paying monthly so Subs will drop more
coming from the idiots that spent there money on card game rather than EQ3 I am not surprised they are failing hard.
FTP does not require you to pay anything to log in
however that's not how soe sees FTP In SOE version of FTP only the 4 worst classes and 4 worst races in Ever Quest 2 will be FTP. All the other races and classes must be bought for Real cash so sorry elf wizard you better give us 7.50 before you can log in, Never mind your naked too... o you might have another too PAY MORE!!!
So in fact they are punishing a VETERAN player as shown:
1] You HAPPEN to have created Dark Elf (now chargeable race) in 2004
2] You decide to play free to play
3] You find you can't log in without paying to unlock Dark Elf
3] Devs justify this by saying 'well normally if you don't pay your sub you can't play at all', even though they are without embarrassment calling the game FREE to play, which it won't be to me
I've got an 82 Kerra Paladin on live I have not played for a while. I look forward to playing him again once this all gets merged. Of course, between the two games I have a total of 11 or 12 characters so only some of them will be available to play without buying more slots.
Hehehe... My questions covers from 31:10 to 36:07 so that's basically 5 minutes for my questions alone. I am happy for that.
I hope we can get some insight into how this new tool for creating dungeons and landscapes works compared to their current development kit. Would be a really cool feature for them to make a video about, kind of like the video where they designed a dragon. Heard lots about this new tool so it would be nice to see the differencies.
I am grateful that DCUO went F2P but the login que is ridiculous on the PS3. It gets anywhere from 1200-1800 people at a time. Before DCUO the only free games i had on PS3 was freerealms. For PC i have tons of free games heh. I guess my point is it's good to see more of them for PS3. I hope to see more.
@Kenman540 The reason they couldn't keep SWG was a licensing issue. Lucas* didn't want two Star Wars games competing against each other (SWG/ToR). So they denied the license renewal for SWG. Wasn't really SoE's fault on this.
at 15:24 is when SmokeJumper answers the most popular questions (to his knowledge) of "what happens if I have a non-active Live account and currently play on the Extended Freeport server? What happens to all my characters on the non-active Live server(s)?"

Going F2P is not "a precursor to the death of a game", the game died before that

I had the first Iksar Beastlord on the Torvonillous server, and 3rd to get the epic 1.0 - so if you want beasties tested send a beta invite mates.

I am excited about this - the best decision SOE could make for EQ2!
great Job SJ and Staff!
well audio is out of sync, too bad, but not really a problem, cause I listen to the audio only in the background anyway.

Too bad you couldn't keep SWG and such. If it went free to play it would have been great.

@shorty11270 It's a common YouTube problem, happens to my videos as well. Blame YouTube for it.
By the way, this was a bit longer than 20 minutes. I somehow feel party responsible, lol
