I just like to clear the air. Even if they didn't like us I wouldn't care
They knew very much what they were getting into with us and didn't blink at it.- 1

PoR was one of the expansions I least enjoyed in 12 years of EQ. That final raid was a goddamn pain, even if you had a lot of clicks.

First memory I have of JChan was her staying overnight to recode the login servers after some progression server launch, when they had been projecting the task would take a week. Obviously they projected a conservative estimate for themselves, but overnight the first night is still crazy haha.
Since then, I've paid attention when her name gets brought up in news articles and interviews and stuff, and she probably understands EQ's code better than anyone else. She has come up with fixes for some pretty broken old systems.
Yes, she probably understands EQ's archaic ass 25 year old code mess better than anyone else.
The fact that they put someone like that in charge gives me a lot of hope that they are actually trying to keep this game going forever.

Yeah it was Jchan who did the server select queue and the AFK kick back for RF/LJ launch.

This is good and bad.
The flip side of the argument is you just promoted one of the few technocrats on the planet capable of keeping the lights on and she'll have little time to devote to her technical expertise.
I love JChan. She seems like she genuinely loves EQ and deserves the promotion and increase in salary as much as anyone on Earth. But there is no replacing her labor and that doesn't portend well.
Does she have the vision and leadership skills required to be CEO and franchise director? I don't know, but I'm happy for her that she gets to answer that question for us.

i am actually curious how that overseer shit works out. there are some aspects i wouldnt want to do again if i rerolled a charatcter from the beginning. what i would really like are old fucking expansion quests and tasks be credited to me somehow. i mean its beyond tedious for a lv 115 to go back and work through some previous expansions, i wouldnt mind being all caught up somehow. maybe an expansion quest where if i complete that one quest and i get the credit for all the dumb hoops i would have had to jump through.

While I acknowledge EQ is clunky as shit if there was a catch up route similar to FFXIV where I could pay to be bumped to level 100 say and be backflagged etc, I'd cough up a fair chunk of cash for that.

What sort of old expansion shit is there? Granted, I haven’t played since House of Thule but I feel like at that time the only “old” quest you needed to do was the J5 mercenary in Toskirak (sp?). Can you not just skip spells/zones to max level and work on current content?

I didn't see it mentioned. Guess there's gonna be a freebie heroic character, if you a member, and login to EQ between March 16th - May 10th.
The overseer thing is pretty damn boring and unrewarding for the most part in EQ2. Annoying too, as it's apparently the only source of high end tradeskill books, ones I've yet to see. I hope the EQ1 version is better, but I wouldn't count on it. I think its their new hairbrained scheme to make money in the store, and they just testing it with players.
