There were, from memory, three major revamps to IoR before it was taken out of the game, plus there were different quest lines depending on whether you went to the "Good" or the "Evil" version. Then when DBG decided to bring it back they partly had to use the bits of it they could still find, which were mostly not form the very earliest version and they also revamped some of it yet again.<br /><br />Consequently it is more of a pastiche of the original than a recreation.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-89367591090228358882017-07-05T16:18:36.418+01:002017-07-05T16:18:36.418+01:00There used to be a whole quest line that involved ...There used to be a whole quest line that involved crafting stations in the basement in the tower on the Isle of Refuge. That seems to have been something that Daybreak left out when the brought back the isle. Not sure why. In the Frostfang Sea quest line you craft something almost immediately if you scoop up all the quests.Wilhelm Arcturushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033496821708933394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-82853369254338147042017-07-04T21:00:12.917+01:002017-07-04T21:00:12.917+01:00I find the storytelling to be more coherent in the...I find the storytelling to be more coherent in the newer zones, it reminds of me DDO's original starter zone, which had very little story too it. I also couldn't fathom why I couldn't get started with crafting on the Isle (no quest nor a vendor selling recipes), despite there being a cellar full of crafting stations...<br /><br />It's sad to hear crafting isn't any different, that's something I would have liked to try an earlier version of. I was planning on swapping to crafting after hitting level 10 as defiler but I'll probably just abandon the server again when I do that now.Telwynhttp://gamingsf.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-55580042727578114482017-07-03T19:28:51.629+01:002017-07-03T19:28:51.629+01:00I really can't recall how I ended up with nine...I really can't recall how I ended up with nine slots (now ten) on that account. It was Silver for a long time so that would be six. It's been ALl Access for a year but i don't think they give you extra slots for that - or maybe they do. That would still only be eight, though, I think. Maybe I bought one before or maybe I got one with some expansion or other. Whatever, can never have too many character slots!<br /><br />I really used to love playing a Bruiser. It was my fun character for five years when I played on Test (my serious character was a Necro). I have one on Live but I rarely play him. I should start!Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-21630743968660448012017-07-03T19:25:03.819+01:002017-07-03T19:25:03.819+01:00I did indeed have it in mind when I left that I co...I did indeed have it in mind when I left that I could come back.

I seem to recall that it wouldn't let you level past a certain point but that you could build up some XP that would activate once you left.Wilhelm Arcturushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033496821708933394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-62707012535302592672017-07-03T14:35:26.241+01:002017-07-03T14:35:26.241+01:00Although I haven't been through Norrath all th...Although I haven't been through Norrath all the way even once, I love the idea of these legacy servers and wish other games, particularly Wow, would offer them too.<br />Starting a fresh new character can give you such a different perspective on a game. You know so many things on the replay you had no clue about originally that can enhance the game for you. You know what's up ahead, but you've forgotten how much fun you had getting there.<br />I used to be reluctant to kill off characters too, but it is getting easier as I get to start fresh with a character I'll actually play and enjoy, it is hoped.<br />I have six slots in EQ2 thanks to buying silver membership at some point. I filled my last with a Froglok Bruiser since you recommended the class. She's a beautiful sea green color, and the combat animation makes her look like a boxer! <br />This is a game I've "tried" several times, but this go around is the most fun I've had, and I'm anxious to get back into the world.<br />Brrr, for Frostfang.Atherenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773969634802702992noreply@blogger.com
