\n I toyed around a bit with my characters, but did not spend a whole lot of time playing EQ2 last week.\u00a0\u00a0 Actually as the leveling up, in both tradeskills and adventuring, slows down I started thinking I might need a break.\u00a0 I enjoy the depth of activities and character\/guild growth the fame offers but I miss the connections I had in the past with some friends here in town that are playing another game.<\/p>\n
\n So a strange combination of events all struck at once.\u00a0 First I start feeling like I need a bit of a break from EQ2.\u00a0 Then a friend of mine and his wife started playing wow again.\u00a0 And finally Blizzard, with their mind reading devices knew I was thinking of playing again so they gave me 7 free days of play time.\u00a0 Those three events were enough to get me to reinstall and log back for the first time in six months.<\/p>\n\n
\n There are several of us in the office that have beta keys, though no one is as bad as I am. Still though I am sometimes convinced to jump in and give it a go. I really look forward to their campaign game and comp stomps, but I have basically zero interest in competitive MP.<\/p>\n
