...to make a toon to run around on, and I noticed all my classes were unlocked, here's why! http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/03/07 ... lass-race/

Wow, we could have told them that after F2P model went live that "restriction only piss people off when you throw the word "Free" around" Glad to see they came to their senses. Maybe this game will finally get the attention it deserves.

Yeah. I would never play eq2 again without a sub, just because I've played through all the lower content and only have end-game to enjoy, but this is great news for casual players.

I found this little bit interesting in the article

He also indicated that Chains of Eternity should be the last official EQII expansion pack.

Uh oh... I don't think I've ever heard SOE say last time they'll take our money. Even EQ 1 is still pooping out packs, no?

Guess EQNext is coming

[thefoof]

they'll probably go the route of dcuo and pump out dlc instead, with a sub unlocking it all. I actually like DCUO's f2p model better, you can basically do all the unlocked content you're just limited in buying/selling and amount of content from dlc's.
