I think the title says it all. ITs my understanding Kingdom of Sky released achievements for the game, however if I recall they could only be used once you hit level 20 correct? I know the newest expansion has done more with the achievements, although Im not sure what.
Much as I wanted to love it, I hate WOW. The community sucks, nobody will group with you unless your their best friend or in their guild. Constantly have kids running by just cussing over and over again for no reason while they tried to /duel you. While yea you can solo in that game its just really dull with boring rewards for the quests. Tradeskills felt unrewarding unless you had the time or money to nearly max them out. Trying to max a tradeskill out was painfully slow between the massive amount of regents per combine/and the cost/rarity of the raws. Eq2 might take forever per combine, but you can at least start making somewhat useful items in no time with eq2, and reagents are generally fairly easy to come by now.
In any case if I can get started cheap enough I might give eq2 another go. I recently upgraded my PC so that should take care of ALOT of the performance issues. However it seems to get the game with the latest expansion it will cost me every bit of $40. From what little of the last expansion I seen I don't really have much use for it till higher levels. I know there are newb zones, however they don't seem any better then the newb zones in the old world. Only thing I worry about is the achievements. Seems like you can gain quite a few achievements now before hitting lvl 20. Do you have to have the newest expansion to earn them pre 20, or just KOS?? PRetty much Id just assume start out light and I when the Kunark expansion comes out just spent $40 and get them all then, however I want achievements since they are easier to earn at low levels.
