Topic: So who will you side with?

or

Long story short, upon playing EQ2, do you plan to side with Freeport, ultimately, or Qeynos, ultimately. Keep in mind, it IS possible to switch tracks from where you start, so don't feel "Oh, I'm going Qeynos, because I want to be a Wood Elf."

Also, do you plan to play the same character you played in EQ1, and if not, what do you plan to play?

Hard choice. Freeport probably cause I'd go Inkie if I play EQ2.

Triple post much?

I thought it was kind of odd they put Sir Lucan as the big bad guy, after all the times he got slaughtered by noble Paladins after a flaming sword.


And my bloody God, the story that SOE came up with for the fall of Neriak sucks SO MUCH. I refuse to accept it.

Apparently, a rather fascist warlord had come to power in Neriak. Faydark had been waging war with some... thing, I don't know if it ever said, but afterwards, they were weakened. So this warlord sent all of Neriak's army to attack Faydark. The undefended Neriak was put under siege by the Leatherfoot Raiders. BLOODY HALFLINGS.

I loved Neriak so much... I would always bind there... Rest there, hang out there... I loved that city so much.

I'm not sure on who I'll side with. Lyinar is Good, and Deth is Neutral. At least one of my characters will be their daughter, Colin, so she could go either way. I'll probably make a dummy char in one city, try it out, make a dummy in another city, try it out, then decide which I like best for Colin.

I don't intend on playing the same characters I play now. EQ is their game. EQII is for my next gen. So any of my other characters will be descended from any of the current ones.

Two(maybe three now, it was back during Velious) years ago, I was able to solo Sir Lucan.

And now he's supposed to be the big bad guy? wtf? Did he cut off Froodo's finger and obtain the Won Ring?(Sony's gotta be careful about copyrights!)

I think I'm going to side with Qeynos. I want to romp around in Blackburrow again.

I might start out in Freeport, though. Dunno. Is it only one character per server?

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

Nope.


Densetsu, for a few reasons, will continue on in EQ2, and will remain with Qeynos, most likely. Antonia is a hottie.

Schalaa, on the other hand, will defect to Qeynos, as she's never been evil, though she's a Dark Elf.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

I don't know about the Qeynos betrayal quest, but the Freeport -> Qeynos one is a bitch. A lot of people aren't willing to help just because they don't realize how annoying it is to be an exile. (No access to Freeport nor Qeynos) The quest itself is entertaining overall, but the bottlenecks can be very stressful if not downright tedious.

Not trying to totally discourage anyone from betraying, but if you still want to, just be sure to have a group of friends at your level who are willing to assist. Like, a full group.

Yep. I know when I still played EQ1 people didn't want warriors in their group. It was always a paladin or shadow knight just because they could grab aggro fast.

It's all a matter of knowing your class. People loved me in their groups as both classes. I held aggro well, and could often steal it from the opposite class with ease.
