Re-Subscribed to EQ2 Ex as Gold Member

Just before my mother passed away I was preparing to spend time exploring the new Rift content.  Since then I’ve decided I want something creative and less on rails, so I’m returning to EQ2 crafting.  I don’t have the time, energy or patience for the effort necessary to re-open my furniture shop.  I’ve decided to start a long term, more personal project of turning a Felwithe Mansion prestige house, into a wizard city.

High fantasy is where it’s at for me when it comes to favorite genre.  I like the idea of having a big project I can come back to when I have the time and inclination.  I’m looking forward to the creative challenge without the pressure of what someone else wants or needs.  I have a little too much on my plate in real life at the moment for the demands of others in a game.

I haven’t done anything yet.  I had just enough spare time to re-subscribe and purchase the house on the market place.  No auction expiration ia another thing I LOVE ABOUT EQ2’S AUCTION HOUSE. Logging into a game I haven’t played for months and finding plat in my sales displays is lovely.  Even better is the almost immediate continuation of sales from pre-existing listings once the upkeep owed on the house is paid up. SAHWEET!

Welcome back!

I'd just warn you about the Housing Leaderboard that's been added since you were last around. It's a horrible mess and best avoided unless you feel like playing a very poorly-implemented kind of decorator's PvP.

This thread gives you the gist of the problem (if you can access those forums as a Gold member - not sure about that...)

Thanks! I found the LB today and loved the fact that it just portals you to the homes! No more going to the physical locations and scrolling thru wondering who has decorated their home for public viewing.

Finishing my project would be so FAR AWAY that EQ3 could be out by then. :-) Thanks for link. I will give it a read.

Welcome back.

EQ2X works really well as an occasional, casual game. I can't imagine raiding but it is really fun to drop in now and then. There's a new dungeon queue system if you press alt-z too. It takes a long time for anything to happen, making it ideal for crafting types. We can craft away then a couple of hours later get offered a group.

PS don't forget to restock your auctions after your Gold month!

I totally agree that their crafting and housing is a perfect end-game option or primary game as it has been for this alt.

Unfortunately, this isn't a leveling char that's my main. But I can do cooking on here and give the dungeon finder a whirl. Thanks for the info.
