![]() DON'T PANIC! It's really happening and it's not as bad as you might think. ZAM got to sit down with Dave Georgeson and get the details as SOE merges the two EQ2 services.Read all about it at ZAM!Join us in ZAM IRC Chat if you'd like to talk about it! Instructions are here, or you can use EQ2 Wire's web portal. |

![]() Only things I'm wondering: 1) what about players of both EQ2 and EQ2X who have all their purchased character slots filled on both services? Are they going to have to whittle down their character #s/buy more slots, or will the available slots of both games be added to each other? 2) will we now be allowed to move characters between Freeport server/Exchange servers and other EQ2 servers? |

![]() SJ from other thread: If you purchased character slots, you'll still have them. No worries. The only tricky bit is if you purchased character slots on *both* EQII Live and EQ2X servers (only a handful of people did this). In that case, you will still get all the slots you had purchased. Here's an example for clarity:
Me: Touched yes. Answered directly no. I take it to mean you are losing access to your characters but that was not stated directly. Silat Editted to add SJ's Comment. |

![]() That does not quite answer it. Example: Currently I have 7 characters on live and 7 on extended. I purchased 0 extra slots on either. According to the above logic after the merge I will be unable to access 7 of my charaters. Since his math was 7 + purchased slots + purchased slots. Not 7 + 7 + purchased slots + purchased slots.

Of course, if you filled those 11 slots on AB and those 12 on Freeport, you'll have 16 slots for 23 characters. Which is what I was asking. Time to calculate how many free slots I actually have. |

![]() Gold Members Get 7 Charcters slots Silver get 4 Free Get 2 If you have more then these here are your options when the merges happen...
And again if you purchased character slots to make to so you are above the numbers I listed you get to keep those slots. Thank you.

And now it is answered. Though I would think in the interest of good faith you guys could add charcter slots to accounts that require them due to the merge. Silat |

So you are going to force me to buy slots to be able to access my toons? First you tell me they are 2 different games. Now you make them 1 game. And I have to pay? |

![]() Here's my outstanding question: Will former Extended Players get Veteran's Rewards now that they will be, essentially, Live players instead? |

![]() Interesting, I'll say that. As far as I know, this is the first time since 1999 that SOE actually spoke about a "possible" game-changer "before" an expansion came out. (anyway, that I am aware of) I have a wait and see attitude, but I give Smokejumper and SOE credit for honesty and consideration given in this communication in a timely manner. I'm more pleased about that^ then any changes that may or may not occur ingame. 'Course I'm older than dirt and these things matter to me. |

![]() I would have switched to EQ2X had it not meant leaving my guildies and friends, so I never woried about this before. Since I am Live now, I will be Gold later. If I elaspe and drop to Silver what happens to my more then 4 characters? Do I loose access to them? Do they get deleted? Are they escentially grandfathered or treated as though I had purchased additional slots or something? Also the veteran question goes the other way too, will we loose vet rewards now? I can't image we would because effort was spent to add 8yr stuff but this IS soe and they've done nuttier stuff. Over all I think this merge is a grand idea. |

You LOSE nothing when dropping from gold to bronze/silver. You do lose access to characters though based on allowed slots. Silat |

![]() You lose access to the characters but they aren't gone... If you decide to upgrade the access to them comes back.

![]() Thank you all for the quick responce. Which toons get locked down? Do I get to choose or is it random or in some order? Also, going from Gold to Silver loses bag slots, do those items get locked or go they go into overflow? |

Your most recently played toons will be the ones available. So if you have 10 slots but 12 toons then the last 10 toons you played will show up. (and if you wanted 12 then you could just buy 2 char slots) From my understanding you'll be able to pull the items out of locked bag/bank slots but not be able to put anything back in. |

Traditionally the toons most recently logged into will show up. So log into your seven favorite toons, so they're on top. |
