Crafting was never really that exciting. I think I made bags for my alts, but that was about it, and I have a max level crafter. The travel powers were nice, but they seemed like such a grind that I never bothered.

More games need to take a page from EQ2/Vanguard and offer crafting quests and storylines.

I really hope this gets an international release.

Same here, I'm not sure I can justify paying for another MMO right now, but for free I'll definitely go back.

I had an old account, so I'll definitely check it out. Don't know if I'll play for long, but it will be nice to be able to check in from time to time without paying for it.

$90 for a digital-only copy of the 18th EverQuest expansion sounds perfectly reasonable, right guys?

Seriously though, I doubt they expect to sell any copies at that price. The price increase is just to pressure current players to pre-order. They did the same thing with the last EQ2 expansions. They may as well price it at $8900.

EQ2 and E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy. Deus Ex: Human Revolution if I have time.

I mostly plan to level my crafters in EQ2.

I just don't trust EA to make another Ultima game. U8 and U9 were terrible. UO is what it is, but there's no way EA would release a game like that in this market. A new UO would be a WoW clone with signposted quests and holy trinity-based class system

While the pre-EA Ultimas were great, I don't think a similar game would sell well to today's audience, partially because it would have the Bioware label slapped on it, and that would really alter players' expectations.

I'd go with the Storm Wind Komodo, because it will give me a nice reason to get my carpenter to 60.

Ships are one of my favorite things in Vanguard; I would love to see them in EQ2, but they probably wouldn't work so well in an instanced game. That said, player-run airships should be the next flying mount.

Also, since we're delving into the SOE catalog, MxO's combat system was pretty cool and someone should use it.

@Carolina Subscribers/lifetimers get one free. Apparently they are 500 points ($6.25 USD) in the store.
