"We use TeamSpeak 2, not Vent. Can you be on at 11pm pacific time to talk to an officer after our scheduled raid time so you can interview with them for a raid spot?"

Yeah, they never finished the system, and made the power regen one super rare, so people stopped bothering except for mana intensive raids.

Anyone else ever play Channeler? My Sarnak Channeler was a favorite MMO char of mine. The heat mechanic was neat, and yeah the class was almost too good because they had to adjust raids for the flat % damage reduction.

I had a blast collecting up all the raid DPS gear that was leftover, and eventually got the rare healer ring that neutered your heals but increased your damage by like 50%. I would sometimes parse #1 on AE fights when I didn't need to heal. I would nuke harder than wizards for single pull, but the heat mechanic balanced that out quick lol

EQ2 was flawed but fun with the right crowd.
Yea eq2 itemization was so good. I memba doing shadowknight + coil of the vile spawn, and other choice gear with wacky rules to go apeshit aoe.

Oh, one thing I do remember from release EQ2 that I wonder how ever got past the "that's fucking stupid" design phase was forcing you to stay online and in your home if you wanted to list something you had for sale on the AH. Meant I went to bed with the game running quite a few times until I realised the 3 silver coins I might make just weren't worth it.

Beta for EQ2's Origins server starts on May 2nd, 2024.

It will last 6 weeks. They're polling the community for more info on what they'd see for unlock schedule on their forums in the future.

A number of microtransactions, including Krono, are notably missing from Origins.

What are the odds that they're just waiting until official release to turn some of those on? IIRC it's uncommon for microtransactions to be a part of the beta. I think I remember that was the case for the Tarinax PvP server.

They've stated they want Krono to be out of the server in the Beta, and that the marketplace on launch will be very limited. Spell research will also not be in.

It specifically states "Krono will not be able to be consumed, traded, or sold on an Origins server.", so that applies not just to beta.
