I really miss "The Scouts Sanctuary".

A forum only website...heavily modded is not ideal in my mind, but certainly better than nothing.

EQDiva, in its heyday was an ideal site. People wrote guides that were invaluable for a very difficult class. There were active and lively discussions on every topic. Bottom line is an EQ2 bard is not a hard to play, as the EQ1 bard, in some respects. You don't have to choose what songs to have 'up'. You don't have all the wild soloing strats. Its easier to know whats in what zone in EQ2. The EQ1 universe was huge with much more level diversity in many zone. EQ2 maps has greatly simplified moving around.

Ogaming has filled many of the needs for a dedicated website for any class, couple that with, as others have said, the scarcity of bards, and I see why there really isn't one.

Nevertheless, a dedicated non-Sony site would be nice. But I don't think I'd spend a lot of time reading and writing guides in EQ2, since its not as necessary and the revamps that sweep through EQ2 would invalidate many of them.
