Hello all!
I'm a big fan of EQ1 and FFXI, I had to quit EQ1 because of money issues, continued playing FFXI because it was more recent.. but I have no reached a dead end. Seems I've done everything in FFXI and I'm considering going back to EQ... but I have a few questions. I did read the FAQ, it answered most of the questions but there still is some unanswered.
Here it goes:
1) I read there's only 2 main cities in EQ2, but is there still smaller ones? for example, highkeep in EQ1. (this question isn't really important)
2) Is there teleports like EQ1, or do we have to run/ride all the way to far places? EQ1 had both druids and wizards teleports. I don't mind either way, just curious
3) Is EQ1 still popular? or there more players in EQ2? I've tried searching stats on the web but I couldn't find any.
Next questions are about the Conjurer classes
A) Can Conjurers summon equipment and such? Back then, we could summon full set of armor to give to our pets or to low level players to help them out. There was also pretty good mage-gear we could summon, like those rings and wristbands that would add damage etc etc
B) Is there other fun spells that aren't really useful? Like in EQ1(again) Mages could summon party packs, with a spin-the-bottle game, and fireworks, cake and drinks. There was also Monster Summoning which was interesting to play with, I didn't see those spells in the list, is the list up to date? I'd really miss this.
C) How are the pets compared to EQ1? We had 4 main pets, air - water - fire - earth. But we also had special pets, like that huge earth pet that could hit like a tank but had only like 10 hit points (I'm sorry I forget the name) And that swarm of tiny pets.
Anyway, that's pretty much it.
I'm downloading and trying the EQ2 trial today, but I know that I wont be able to get high level enough to answer my own questions.
For those that reply to this, I thank you for your time.
