Feldon This year’s EQ2 Winback program for players who may be taking a break from EQ2 or are trying other MMOs has a great premise. 1 week of free play, and EVERYONE playing EQ2 gets access to Flying Mounts, with an active or inactive sub at levels 1-90!
From EverQuest2.com:
From April 14th at 9:00 am PDT until April 21st at 7:00 am PDT, all inactive accounts in good standing who logged in between 6-17-10 and 2-28-11 will be able to rejoin the adventure in Norrath!
Check out what’s changed since you left, and take to the skies! Here are three great reasons to log in now and play:
Take to the Skies!
It’s your turn to experience the rich realms of Norrath like never before by taking flight on your very own Gryphon mount. Simply log in, visit the in-game Marketplace, click on the Take Flight Promotion, and grab the free “Enchanted Gryphon Call” to summon your flying mount; yours to fly until April 21st.

I’d love to know what an “eligible account” is. I got an invite on a level one old RAF account, but my proper alt account which has been closed for a few months hasn’t had one 🙁
I think the eligible account had to not be logged in for the past 6 months or so. I had the same thing with WoW.
My guess is that they target the accounts closed for the longest since someone who has been gone just a month or two probably is still burnt out/or too recently in touch with friends (the last couple of times with WoW I subbed only due to catching up with friends).
Wait a minute… “Power level through this new content?” They actually /want/ people to rush to the end so they can run out of things to do?
I took part in this event and started an assassin, got to say that leveling with a flying mount is 10 times funner than leveling on foot, it really is a new experience. would be hard to go back to walking after the promo is over.
