I have been playing EQ games since 2000. In all those 10 years, I haven't posted on the forums a great deal, and when I did, it was to compliment and thank SOE for doing something great, or helping other players with advice.

However, in the last month, my feathers have been ruffled ... and all due to my Station Access account.

First, there was the nightmare that transpired when I tried out EQ2x ... where I lost all my expansions, all my rewards, and five characters. That was finally fixed after 3 days due to the tremendous help of the devs who do read these forums and responded.

Then, I heard about the "platinum package" being offered to EQ2x players. 3 extra character slots, free expansions, free station cash. All for $260/year LESS than I pay for Station Access??????

And NOW we have even MORE goodies and deep discounts offered to the Live subscribers????

Hence, the following rant:

This is so screwed! I have played EQ2Live since launch day, 2004. I have had a Station Access account for 5 years. People with regular live accounts are now getting SUBSTANTIAL DISCOUNTS for paying months in advance. SA people don’t get this option. Nor do we get expansions free, or anything else for that matter except 5 character slots and access to dying games that nobody plays anymore.

I am a crafter, as well as an adventurer. That is what makes the game magic for me. I have all 9 tradeskillers maxed to 90, and 3 adventurers at 90 as well. So, who do I delete to get rid of the NO VALUE Station access account and obtain the "perks" offered to EQ2Ex and EQ2LIVE subscribers? Obviously, this is not an option for me IF I am to continue playing this game the way I have worked so hard to play it.

I am also not going to pay the fees to transfer characters to a second account. I would lose all the future veteran rewards on the second account, as well as the inability to use heirloom items between my 12 characters.

Where is the love for all the loyal Station Access people who have kept this game going for SOE??? Smokejumper says there will be no new/additional perks at all for SA account holders and yet they throw all this good stuff at new players and Live players?

I’m sorry, I just don’t get this incredibly ugly slap in the face!
