Everquest II

I just got an email saying the following:

"thanks for playing Vanguard....SOE would like to offer you a FREE copy of EQ2 including the first 3 expansions and first 3 adventure packs...and play for free until 11:59PM September 15th 2007"

Official from Sony, so its legit. Also said my account was already flagged with this offer, so it appears no credit card or activation is required.

I quit Vanguard shortly after the first 30 days, not sure if this offer applies to all former Vanguard players.

I quit Vanguard after the first free month, hope I get this offer as well.

Lol he is right... i never got an email from them but i decided to check it out anyway since i still have eq2 installed on my computer.

Well i go to start it up and i get passed the login screen so i must have a subscription. I check the my account page to find that i have all the expansions and all the adventure packs now and my subscription lasts until September 15! Thanks for letting me know since SOE apparently didn't let me know.

I've never subscribed to EQ2 before but I still haven't gotten this yet??

I bought Vanguard on May and the free month ended on June.

wonder if Beta testers got some love...?  never subscribed...lol

I was confused. Kept checking my account details just to make sure SOE hadnt somehow billed me incorrectly

Not for nothing but this seems like a really smart move by SoE.

Lets face it Vanguard isn't ready yet and isn't gonna be for a few months if ever. It's too bad, I had high hopes for that game. EQ2 however is very ready. I'm not saying its the best game out there but it is very polished and firmly established. It has more than enough content with more on the way. While it's not revolutionary, it excels in the areas that Vanguard has struggled with. I would think that they (SoE) would be able to retain a good portion of dissatisfied Vanguard players, and there $, with this promo.

Not to mention they goodwill they could potentially generate with the MMO community at large. We all know they suffer from image problems, deservedly or not.

I'm going to have to go check my accounts.. I have two SOE accounts, both had vanguard, and both had EQ2 at one point... I hope they are flagged too!

"thanks for playing the worst MMO ever, sorry to put you through that hell...SOE would like to offer you a FREE copy of EQ2 including the first 3 expansions and first 3 adventure packs...and play for free until 11:59PM September 15th 2007. this is us paying you for  you playing Vanguard, please forgive us, we did not make Vanguard  Sigil did, do not base your views of SOE off  us taking on Vanguard. Once again we are sorry for Vanguard"

Guess station pass user don't get jack or squat maybe we'll get a Vanguard t-shirt in the mail
