Woot! So happy this wasn't an April Fools joke :)
I'm planning on sending in loads of screenies.

Yay! I have been waiting for this :)

Beau, what is your favorite Aeria title?

I wasn't interested in the game before, but I definitely want to play it now!

@Dutzu Yes, you can play it in the browser on browser.runesofmagic.com. Works very well! More MMOs should do this.

Region locks… seriously, this is 2012. We are a global community, both offline and online. We have friends from all over the world, we move, we work abroad, lots of us have family in other countries. What an awful idea.

As a European player, I want to keep playing on US servers and I want to stay a SOE customer, not an Alaplaya customer. I’ve always preferred to play on US servers, simply because more people tend to speak (an acceptable level of) English, global chat isn’t polluted by people who insist on speaking their own language, and there is no hostility between country-specific guilds. If you want to know what I mean, just go read the Alaplaya forums for a minute.

I’m relieved that my existing EQ2 characters (which are all on a US server) will be able to stay where they are now, but I have some concerns about this too: If I have a problem, will I still be helped by customer service? Will I be able to make new characters on my server?

And what after EQ2? When EQNext releases, I’ll never be able to play with my guildies, because most of them live in the US. Thanks SOE. :(

I think it's great that MMOs are getting browser versions. Fiesta doesn't appeal to me, but I've been playing the browser version of Runes Of Magic a bit, and I have to say it runs surprisingly well.

Besides Fiesta, Runes of Magic and 4Story, are there any other 'client' MMOs that have recently been ported to the browser?

I would go to the mainland! The starter island is so different from the actual game, it would be more fun for the readers who don't know Ryzom to learn about the actual game.

My wish list:
- More overland content, both in existing and new zones
- Make EQ2 playable in the browser (just like Kalydo is doing for games like Runes of Magic now) so I can play at work (:D)
- Expansion of the Dungeon Maker system so players can create their own zones, with stories, quests, puzzles, etc.
