You guys should feel blessed by this promo if you love EQ2, seriously.
As a launch SWG player who has seen his beloved game emptied to the point of absurdity through massive core-game altering changes, combined with absoultely no real apparent marketing at all anymore, this promo by SOE is a refreshing change.
When you step out of the 'me me' mentality, this should be taken for what it is - SOE focusing some serious effort into reviving a game and community that they obviously still care about.
