Just in case anyone was interested. I'm not, really, but I might just create one for the heck of it since it's freeee until the 15th.EverQuest 2, the free-to-play MMORPG from Sony Online Entertainment, is undergoing something of a bold experiment starting today; players who are so inclined can now skip the first 85 levels of progression, giving them instant access to endgame content.
For 3500 Station Cash — approximately $35 in SOE's proprietary digital currency — players can unlock a level 85 character of any class to play; they can also upgrade an existing character, boosting their level and equipping them with suitable equipment for their new rank. Today marks the beginning of a special "Hero's Call" promotion, which runs through Oct. 15, and allows one free, permanent Heroic character to be created per household for new players; pre-existing players can create or upgrade one Heroic character per account.
Combined with this it doesn't sound bad:
The current restrictions on items for free-to-play and Silver Account users of EverQuest 2, Sony Online Entertainment's massively multiplayer online role-playing game, will be lifted Oct. 1, according to a post by senior producer Holly Longdale on the game's official message boards.
