EQII: A new day
I was unable to find EQII - Echos of Fadwer at the store last night, so I decided to try the digital download method of purchase. Giving money to Sony Online was easy enough, except for a small email address error on my account. My receipt went to the wrong address, my bad, easily corrected. Nowhere on the site or receipt did they mention how I was to download the expansion I’d just purchased, hmm. Starting EQII did the trick. The download began automatically. Four hours later, 12:30 am, I was creating a Fae Illusionist.
My highest character in the original EQ was an Enchanter. My job was to make everything better, I loved that power. The Illusionist sounds a little like that – worth a try. Plus, you get a copy of yourself that follows you around. How cool is that?
I didn’t play long, last night, but I’ve reached level 8 this morning. The Fay starting area is newbie friendly. I’ve gotten lost a few times, died once, but I’m poking along happily. Did I mention that the Fay can fly? More like hover, but they can jump off high stuff and float down.
I didn’t think I’d ever be enjoying EQII again, here I am.
