Feldon From EverQuest2.com:
Station Access has a new name, lower fees and more plan options!
Why pick just one of our amazing games to play when you can get access to an exciting line-up of all of our most popular titles for one low price? We’ve listened to your feedback and we are happy to announce the launch of the SOE All Access game pass!
Formerly called Station Access, SOE All Access will allow you access to play many of our most popular games including: DC Universe™ Online (PC version), EverQuest® (PC and Mac versions), EverQuest II, EverQuest II Extended – Gold Membership, EverQuest Online Adventures™ (PlayStation® 2), Pirates of the Burning Sea® – Captain’s Club Membership, PlanetSide®, Star Wars Galaxies™, Vanguard: Saga of Heroes®, Free Realms® (PC and Mac versions) Membership, and Star Wars®: Clone Wars Adventures™ (PC and Mac versions) Jedi Membership.
Why such an awfully generic name? Couldn’t they call it something like the Trakanon Option or Nathan Ironforge Plan? And dropping the price doesn’t bode well at all, I’d sooner they put it up and gave us something worthwhile.
just when you thought there wasn’t anything to complain about..
Thanks but no thanks. I had access for years and never even looked at the other games. Now that I don’t need it for the character slots, I’m still not looking at the other games.
Unless you have a currently active Station Access account you DO NOT get any extra character slots.
Steve, they are refering to the ability to purchase extra slots. We have had that for a bit, so unless you want to play the other games. the new all access pass is useless.
Kruzzen, you are correct. I was just adding that information here since many people on this blog and the official forums were not sure of that fact.
Wait…people still play Online Adventures?
wtf?
Well, it makes sense that the price is coming down, now that they are going to end Star Wars Galaxies at the end of this year. Not that I’ve ever played it . . . but I might try now. I always wanted to try the Matrix Online, but they ended that before I had the chance.
Though with Star Wars The Old Republic in the works, it’s probably for the best. Dunno how well Galaxies would have done with that out.
It’s getting to the “Well, I may as well” level of pricing. What’s that, an extra $4 over the EQ2 only monthly subscription? I may do it just so I can be a superhero now and then or to reminisce on how much better SWG was. Or things like that. 🙂
Good to see SOE is still ripping off their Aussie customers.
Station All Access Pass = $19.99
1 USD = 0.927358 AUD
19.99 USD = 18.5379 AUD

Yet this is what SOE charges:
AUD 21.99 / mo. AUD21.99 Billed Every 1 month
So we get charged $23.71
21.99 AUD = 23.7116 USD

Thanks, but no thanks.
SOE – Same Ol Excrement
