    I don't want to be a negative nancy, but announcing a game shut down and still charging people for stuff on the Marketplace just rubs me the wrong way.

    Unless some players missed the announcement, why would anyone continue to spend station cash in Vanguard? I don't get the Housing item and chest limit increase either. Doesn't matter if you store the items or sell them, once the game is closed. As far as housing I saw a post asking for the removal of the housing and guild hall upkeep cost. Especially for guild halls, since there appears to be a mass exodus going on since the announcement.

    Thanks for fixing some of the issues.

    Yeah, I mean, seriously, who is going to put money into a character that will be deleted in 5-6 months? You would think the store would be free.

    This would be brilliant! Especially for the guild halls. It is hard enough to see friend leave the game, but to lose those things that we worked so hard to obtain prior to the actual closing would be terrible.

    I have to be honest, although it is nice to have the item numbers on the housing and hall inventories increased, I cannot help but to feel it incredibly bittersweet being that it is something that we asked for since very soon after halls came into the game.

    Why bother announcing updates. You shut the server down whenever you feel like it. Yesterday for instance?

    Because people still have SC and maybe no other place to use it?

    Can the herald of telon give away the plushie dragons they designed too? I know Graye told us about them after soe live and I always wanted to see them... having something to cuddle while the world ends might be nice.

    Are imbueds for Arties going to get fixed in this patch as well? Some things get fixed and are not in the notes

    given the high cost of guild hall maintenance and the significantly reduced likelihood that guilds will have the income generating power they used to have, it makes sense to drop the GH rental fee.

    Six months is twice as long as many people spend in an MMO, even one they enjoy. It's not about how long you use the stuff for, anyway, it's about how valuable it is to you while you're using it.

    Six months is also plenty of time to get a character to 50th and see pretty much all of Telon. I'd hope that the publicity the closedown announcement has generated will bring in some new faces and returnees. I have a bunch of characters I made a long time ago that I still want to level up, for a start.

    Ok, someone please tell me that I've lost my mind and am reading that wrong...

    It's a good thing I think .. for those who have SC and no where to spend it.

    I wouldn't buy anymore SC, but the few hundred I have now ... will go further ... which I like.
  17. Rotaran Member

    I can spend what little I have in EQ2. This "half off" sale is just adding insult to injury.

    Have any of the numerous locked zones been unlocked yet? There are MANY of us who have spent the last 7 years in this game knowing there's zones that we CAN NOT access. Please don't say there's some secret reprocussion to unlocking them. You are shutting down our game that we've put SEVEN years into. Give us something we really want, nobody gives two hoots about a rainbow whale.

    UNLOCK THE LOCKED AREAS PLEASE!!!

    Hahaha it's funny because... those items are essentially useless in less than 6 months.

    You know what's better than spending the SC you have? NOT having to spend ANY SC.
