Everquest II

I haven't played EQ2 since it first was released... How many expansions must I buy to be up to date now that I plan on restarting my account? What are their names and their release dates?

They have an all-in-1 box out there with EQ2 + 2-3 expansions all bundled for the SAME price as any 1 expansion alone.

I picked up one a while back - dont know if they added more. You'll have to search ebay or amazon as it might not be on the shelves.

Since EoF all expansions include base game and all previous expansions. so you basically just have to buy the newest expansion and you get all.  Right now Rise of Kunark is the newest expansion, but in November they will release the next expansion.

So if you want to play now then buy Rise of Kunark you should be able to get it for ~30 dollars, maybe a bit less depending on where you buy.

They also gave awaqy some free game time to old customers a few times, so if you got an old account try logging in to account management check if you got some free time, if you don't have any then it might be worth activating a new account since if you just use the expansion code to activate expansions on an old account you won't get a month free time like you would get on a new account. (but it also depends on if you want to keep your chars).

Just buy the Rise of Kunark expansion and it includes the original game and ALL expansions for $20 depending on the store. Best Buy has it back ordered for $20.

All of the above are correct. Red_Rider's post is the cheapest obviously!

Thanks for posting the info

I wasnt aware that the Trial gave you a free copy of the game if you sub

   I heard a rumor that the free Rok might finish on Sept 30th with the end of the Legacy events (not confirmed) , so if you are pretty sure you want yo do it, don't delay ...

  Plus the OP was talking about restarting his account, he should of had RoK added to his original account with the Legacy promos too and again, does not need to buy any expansions.   But again should re-sub before the 30th in case ....

Living Legacy ended a week ago

Free trial still says you get complimentary copy of the game if you subscribe

 You still get the complimentary copies of the current expansions, along with the main game itself. Did it myself today.
