If you need your EQ2 fix, may I suggest trying to join the fun on Test server? You get 4 more character slots so you can create whatever you want. I've been playing there since this morning and I'm having a blast! I decided to try to play on the Good side for once since I've never seen Qeynos in EQ2. So, it's a whole new experience for me. The downside is that there seems to be a problem on test with Heroic Opportunities. When you use one, it crashes the zone and dumps all the players to the character select screen. (so don't use that HO if you go!)
Who knows? Maybe many will stay on the Test server as a main play server?
I should caution you to read the instructions in the readme file in the TestServer folder in the EverQuest II folder. IT explains what you need to do (some copy / paste of files/folders to the TestServer folder). Then be prepared for a 2-3 hr dload. After which, you are free to go slay Goblins on the Isle of Refuge. I look forward to seeing you there!
