Beat me to it, LOL.
One of my favorite things to do was to make some pro-WOW comment (particularly using an alt) and watch people absolutely flip their shit. And you always knew that many of the loudest detractors of WOW never actually played WOW; it was like some bizarre quasi-political mindset where people just regurgitated talking points ad nauseum.
I don't remember the specific named or raid anymore (one of the nameds in Sullon's maybe?) but the one encounter where the named cursed 2 people in the raid, and one curse was "real" and the other one "fake", but I vaguely remember that they looked identical and there were fail conditions tied to removing the wrong one. I think you could look in ACT and tell which was which, but I remember thinking to myself that that had to be some of the most retarded shit that I'd seen in an MMO raid encounter.

I'll be resubbing... I keep a $15.00 earmark in our budget just for my MMO hobby haha and thanks to LoL I haven't been using it for awhile. I may even get the expansion. As I said before, I've always been a fan (it's a love/hate thing) and I enjoy the raids and dungeons. Here's hoping the expansion is an improvement over the last couple.
I'm on AB.... where is everyone else?
And yes, the EQII community has always been more mature. It may not be a better game but I found myself experiencing much more of the EQ community in EQII than I ever did in WoW. That's just me though..

LOL. I forgot about that site. My claim to fame was the "Carebear Corner" section was created by some douche complaining about me in game. His post was the first dumped in there.

For all your mod needs.
The big ones are ProfitUI, Fetish and ExtremeUI. I think they are all pretty much equal.

EQ2F was a veritable soup kitchen of hobos,methheads, crack heads, infected scabs of society, and that was just the founder himself.

Oh I know that community all to well my PvP years in EQ2. I just never really listened to them much as it was a flames forum by name. That was primarily just a little corner of the the EQ2 universe where that kind of stuff gathered. You didn't really get that in game though.

I liked how Flames jumped on the Pedo-Sam bandwagon after we banned him and locked that thread on FOH. The upside was that Sam got dragged through the mud even more, and that they helped archive some stuff that we missed (plus the add to ED), the downside was reading that trainwreck of a thread and on top of all that, seeing Gaige defend Sam's pedo adventures (at least I think it was Gaige).
Is AB the populated one?
As I don't want to devote my life to this, whats an easy class to play and solo? I've tried SK and they seem decent enough but I don't have anything to compare to. Also, I assume this game has merc's as well? Or is that some "gold member only" stuff?

AB or Freeport are going to be the most populated servers.
SK is pretty easy, and only gets more so with AA's. There is an AA called Reaver that adds a lifetap to your direct damage spells, and at that point, its basically run through multiple groups of mobs, AE the shit out of everything and watch yourself take little to no damage. I recently leveled up a Berzerker and a Monk, and while both can solo fairly well (Monks/Bruisers have Feign Death, which is tits) Shadowknights are more efficient. This is with both being twinked as fuck though, so take it with a grain of salt.
Merc's require an expansion, but not sure which, as I haven't purchased the last 2. I think it is Age of Discovery, though.

So I logged in yesterday for the first time in years and couldn't remember wtf I was doing.
I think I'll start a new character. Are there any out there that don't have a dozen hotbars of garbage?

Depending on buffs/temps/any clickies you may or may not need (Manastone, cure potions, etc.) you're likely looking at 4-5 minimum. This is just from the perspective of melee oriented classes though, I don't usually play casters. I can't imagine it being much different, though. There's probably some superfluous stuff you could omit, though (don't really need a de-aggro if you're soloing, for instance).
Having gotten access to my old account again, I downloaded this and Vanguard yesterday. Not played either in years.
I have 4 character slots, I am sure I had more characters, my conjuror is gone at least. Deleted one charcter, and another one did not pop up. So assume all characters below the 4 top ones are deleted. Logged on a 52 necro and was greeted by many a popup.
Noticed my legendary items are now locked. Big red text on my legendary j boots. I have tons of timed grandmaster version of spells, but others adapt and such. The master level tomes I had I guess are gone because silver status do not get access to those?
Had several AAs filled out (i did not do that) and 26 to spare.
Got confused and logged off. Is there any point in starting a new character to experience things?
Aside from a bunch of veteran rewards, my SOE accounts lists these as enabled.

Would I need more to experience anything worthwile? Is there anything worthwile to experience until the end levels, I doubt I will ever get there. I have tried the leveling as an iksar and as those fairies (even though the characters are gone), so have seen those areas which were not in the game at launch.
Vanguard seemed much more friendly with their F2P as I think I got 4 legacy character slots, 12 in total. Lots of claim rewards to unlock gold gear as well as some gold items for free. Seemed much more viable to play with a silver account. Then again, that might come from no updates and little extra content compared to EQ2.

Are the two bard classes any good at soloing/grouping? Desired?
I might give it a whirl, and I don't really want to pay a sub just yet until I can devote more time to a game.
Do we have a guild on AB? I assume Mistwalkers is still there but...

Just reactivated my account as well. I haven't played the game since it launched and even then I only made it to 23. Made a Troubadour on AB, name is Khava.
Are bards worth half a shit in this game or will I be waiting for ever to find groups if I continue playing beyond the checking it out phase? I was a bard in EQ classic since launch day through OoW and I miss that type of class.

Jesus there is a shit ton of content in this game. There are 4 completely fleshed out starting areas?
