Money is a lot easier there. It's pointless to try to amass a fortune at low level -- in nearly every MMO I can think of.<BR/><BR/>EQ2 is a casual, fun game with a lot of different ways to play. But you have to switch them occasionally -- you can't just do one thing all the time. That's dull.brendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07828719420913764824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647535028551977680.post-33794032835210171582008-09-25T14:39:00.000-04:002008-09-25T14:39:00.000-04:00That is what ended up being difficult.<BR/>I would get up in the mornings and play for an hour or so before work.<BR/>But, all I did was go harvest rares for the Broker.<BR/>I was not questing anymore.<BR/>To me that was not any fun.<BR/><BR/>When myself and the wife would play, we would quest a bit.<BR/>But, there were days she stopped doing that to go for some Broker action and found she could just level by buying collection pieces.<BR/>Expensive and too easy.<BR/>She finally stopped questing, and then I just was done..<BR/><BR/>We started questing again before we went back to Guild Wars and had some fun in Sinking Sands...<BR/>And it could be fun to go back if the game ran better.<BR/><BR/>So, a lot rides on how these new changes affect questing and performance.<BR/><BR/>I would not mind some more variety in the games I play...Openedge1http://www.blogger.com/profile/17536627257855895757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647535028551977680.post-72360518084956674232008-09-25T14:33:00.000-04:002008-09-25T14:33:00.000-04:00I have one alt at 80 and it took me about a year and a half to get there. But I was in no hurry since I know I wouldn't be doing any end game stuff anyway.<BR/><BR/>At about 50 I think is where a lot of people start losing interest or rolling another alt. Between the experience changes and the revamped Everfrost, it should move along pretty nicely at that level.<BR/><BR/>Making money can be a challenge. Killing mobs sure doesn't do it, so it's pretty much selling shinies and harvestables and knowing what the hot items are.Aspendawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01295434130203411301noreply@blogger.com
