EverQuest: The Legacy of Ykesha Expansion

[sadre spinegnawer]

why would they disallow 61+ in the new zones? Well, I'm not saying that they are, but I am saying I can see why they might.

If they are releasing an expansion for lvl 35-60, that means, duh, that they are not tailoring this to lvl 61+. That means, for you reading comprehension impaired: they want to cultivate their sub-60 player base, give them something to keep them hanging on.

Well, just like they nerf-restrict older content so that people who are past it cannot farm it (like vox and naggy, for example), what is so beyond your ken about the idea that they might possibly want to keep lvl 61+ people out of these zones?

If their goal is to draw in and entice their sub60 player base to keep on keepin on, then it would seem in their interest to *not* allow the high end people run rampant over their new zones within a week and make this "special" content passe.

verant has done stuff like this all the time. how they do it is another question, but that they do it is imo highly likely. non-looting codes, non-engagement codes, inability to do key quests if you are lvl 61+ etc etc.

of course, the alternative strategy wou;ld be to make the new zones so lame, and the gear so mediocre, that no one over 60 would even care to explore them. But then that means the zones are simply lame period, in which case verant has made content that will not hold much interest even to people under lvl 60.

I'm assuming this is a serious expansion geared to entice the sub-60 player base. I could be wrong. this could also just be a collection of grab bag zone ideas that never made the cut in previous expansions, and they are dumping it on the market at a low low price and truth is the new zones aren't even worth marketing and retailing costs, so they are just tossing it out the door as a download. oh, and here's some lame story line about frogloks to glue it all together. oh, and here's a couple new abilities and a new lfg engine so all you suckers are gonna want to get it since lfg in PoP sucks.

If they claim to bring content for up to level 60, then I expect to see at least 1 or 2 zones on par with VT, SSRA and ToV because those zones got beaten by level 60 players.

wtfg soe, why dont you just pay off mythic so you can have their game?

aroo? Unless shrouded isles scrapped those uglyass sylvan models and put froggies in elfland, or dropped the dumbass planet of the apes guys for middy...and da didn't have "Charm" slot...=) or you referring to the fact that expansion is chock full of shit mythic stated would be "free patched upgrades" concerning the UI poop? Lame asses...I cancelled my subscription to that game the instant they put up Shrouded Isles and confirmed they're jackasses

as for whoever was talking about gukdefenders...sounds like those euro servers are all buggy as hell anyway. They might have been actual mobs that were just never put on a spawn table or something. Unless they were bouncer level.

i still think they are just charging for a charm slot and giving us stuff they had in the works anyway.


10 bucks says nobody gets to equip a charm unless they got the expansion.

extra slot == instant mudflation whos going to not pay if thats the case?

[Qutsemnie]

but why they are at it how bout SoE stops wasting my time and just charge me for +hp say 10 bucks for 50 more max hp ? cool cool aka as charm slot

Likely if you don't buy the expansion you won't be able to benefit from any of the features. No charms, no nifty LFG commands, no Guild junk, no Frogloks, no bigger bank, etc.

If this was just zones and Frogloks, a lot of people wouldn't buy it. By adding stuff everyone can benefit from, they're ensuring themselves more purchases.
