  1. My prediction: Since a lot of other F2P games do those things for subs all the time but don’t have any restrictions on gear and spell upgrades…
    eventual change to that model.

    Right now almost all the other MMo games that go F2P have much less restrictions on play with gear and abilities but just provide these types of bonus’ to subs

  2. It seems the devs can’t do anything right. Dare to give subs a bonus when playing time traditionally drops, and you still get negative feedback?

    Goodness I’m glad I don’t do development for a living. It truly does appear that some people will complain about everything.

  3. Looks like I need to clarify my comment :-). No criticism at all of the gold rush promotion. I was merely predicting that in the future if the gold rush was made permanent and restrictions were removed on gear and abilities for non subs, then EQ2 would be in line with the newer FTP games such as Tera, Aion, Rift etc. which have similar sub benefits.

  4. I could have sworn somewhere someone mentioned it only lasted 4 hours – which is true – but the time does not tick down when you are logged off. But the recast on it does.

    Veteran reward xp potions and gold rush xp bonus do stack – just checked it out.

    1. This is yelling, sorry we went to far with the pr nerf, so quit crying for 4 hours…

      No. This is: We’re finally rewarding people who have paid $15 a month year in and year out for years.

  5. skippdippy the game has always been easy. This doesn’t make it any easier, just provides those of us with a paid sub a nice bonus, and comes during a time when there’s a lot of player absence.

    I’m not alone in loving this.
