How do I now search for guilds and players?

Jeepned2 · 12-09-2011, 09:38 PM

Now that you have totally screwed up what used to be EQ2Players and turned it into a useless information center for 5 year old information, is there anyway to search for guilds and players anymore? Or is the purpose of EQ2 Players been abolished? I can't even look at my own toons.... "Coming Soon"... Oh way it's "Coming Soon!" Why do you keep completely changing things that just needed fixed, not revamped into uselessness?

Banedon_Toran · 12-09-2011, 09:43 PM

Ummm... new eq2players website incoming in about a week or so and those who are testing the data (fansite peeps) say it's extremely accurate.

So give it a little time and I think you'll be surprised.

Instead of flaming, actually read.

EQ2Players is down until the relaunch.

Yeah... coming in a week or so... or a month... or never...

Felshades · 12-22-2011, 02:31 AM

Very difficult to look up players and possible prospects who we keep getting email tag from.

Kaalenarc · 12-22-2011, 01:28 PM

difficult? or impossible...? I dont see how to do it at all?

niteowl53 · 12-24-2011, 12:57 AM

Ok I do see that EQ2Players is getting a new make over, and thought it was coming before launch, but it didn't, then I have read in several posts it was coming with launch of AoD, but it didn't...When can we expect Players to be up and running, does anyone have an ETA??

Conandar · 12-25-2011, 03:00 PM

Personally I have given up on promises like this, because they are never even close to being accurate...ever. With the track record of SoE, I will be happy if we get a working site by Christmas of 2012.

Nope - not surprised - here we are what 3 weeks later and ... NOTHING. Again. Once again SOE has just let its silence speak volumes. No announcement - no red name saying "hey we think we are three weeks out, five weeks out, etc" - we get - as per standard SOE operation - NOTHING.

Yep, and while I wish that I could say otherwise... I am not surprised. EQ2Players has not functioned 100% in what, 3 years or more? Why I ever thought they would have had this up and running when they said it would be is beyond me. It has been a very, very long "week or so"

OK, I did flame. Just seems as easy as anything else when waiting on SoE to fix something. BTW which relaunch? GU 200?

feldon30 · 01-03-2012, 12:34 PM

Yeah January 3rd is more than 1 week after December 6th. Not sure what's going on.

Iad · 01-03-2012, 01:29 PM

SoE has well established their rep in promising things and not being able to deliver.

Catria · 01-04-2012, 02:01 PM

Would really like to see some sort of official response on this as to where they are at with launching the new EQ2Players. Feldon, I know you were helping with this project - do you have any idea what's going on now?

feldon30 · 01-04-2012, 05:48 PM

Fan sites are continuing to work on and build our own sites which will interface with the API when it's finalized. To date I have not seen the new EQ2Players and don't know what exact feature set it will have.

JimmyC01 · 01-05-2012, 12:23 AM

How does never sound..what a joke!!!

Starbuck1771 · 01-05-2012, 01:28 PM

The best way to deal with the lack of information on EQ2players is to write an email to John Smedley. Explain to John that the Dev Team isn't giveing us updates and that there is a total lack of corispondance from the Dev and Community team. Do this in a nice and respectful manner and he will respond. You can email john at [email protected]

Unless things changed, keep in mind that the website is not designed/managed by "the Dev Team" (which, I assume, you refer to as being "the EQ2 Dev Team") but by a separate team within SOE. Let's at least put the blame where it's due. SMILEY

Astrael · 01-14-2012, 05:40 AM

Hmm ... I see SOE's terrible customer service has not changed in the many years since I last played EQ2. Right after the 2004 competing releases of EQ2 and WoW, I kept posting in the forums that SOE were in danger of getting their butts handed to them by Blizzard if they didn't change their attitude to their customers. A prophetic warning, as it turned out.

One might have thought that after their dramatic fall in popularity, from utter dominance to obscurity, that they might have learned their lesson.

Apparently not ...

Soulistus · 01-17-2012, 01:04 AM

Personally, I've been waiting for the EQ2 Players section to be updated for about... five and a half years or so. A few weeks, while frustrating, aught to be worth it. I'm just patiently waiting... waiting... waiting...

I wonder if Smed reads these...

Ok, on December 9th I got flamed for flaming. It's now January 23rd and I think a "week or so" is up. Can I start flaming now? Ok, ok... I realize only the moderators ever read this stuff but it is therapeutic to complain about promised items that never appear, while things that were sworn to never appear all of a sudden show up. (Beastlords, gear with stats on sc.....etc......etc....). Guess they are too busy putting out stuff for money then worrying about the things we would really like to have or things that should have been fixed months ago. Same old SoE, same old story. Promises made, promises never kept, why change historical trends.

Zeuhl · 01-23-2012, 08:02 PM

Atleast it's total silence and they're not urinating in our cheerios every morning. Really, no one saw this coming?

Ice233 · 01-29-2012, 12:50 PM

Nothing? No feedback or news? Come on SOE. You have alot of loyal customers waiting on a promise you made and you can't even honor that promise with a update, apology or anything. So much for customer service.

Elskidor · 01-29-2012, 03:01 PM

If you look around you'll notice that nobody answers anything on these forums. It's just players discussing bugs, broken promises, OP classes, lack of content and much much more. The only time a red name responds is to address something to do with SC, because that is the game they think we are wanting to play.
