DOF was my least favourite expansion until RoK. I quite liked KoS and EoF. Strokes for folks and all that....

It b/c they completely changed their marketing strategy. For all intents and purposes RoK was EQ2's equivalent to NGE. It has been adapted to a WoW knockoff where the point is to gather up as many new subs as possible have them play for 3 months then have nothing to do and quit. All while hoping they can get peoples friends to play in a never ending cycle of new subs surpassing the people that quit.

I think they are realizing the cancels outweigh the new subs. I wouldnt be suprised if they werent actually losing money off of eq2, but only kept it alive for how filthy rich they are getting off of LoN.

When a new person comes to play EQ2(the few that do), they buy RoK, and it gets counted only as RoK, not as an EoF+DoF+KoS+RoK+Original purchase, but just RoK.

It's a flawed counting system.

It's pretty funny for them to get excited about a product which does not exist. Since you can't actually buy Rise of Kunark separately. So anyone buying EQ2 gets counted as "another satisfied customer of the Rise of Kunark expansion."

RoK's zones are well-made and everything, it's just too bad it's solo-based and feels too much like a single-player game.

I wish it was more like EoF (my favorite expansion.)

Amazing that their best selling expansion would be responsible for complete and total self implosion.

Well RoK is also the ONLY way to currently buy EQ2 so even if all someone wanted to do was try the game they HAVE to buy RoK. Which means that there are people who have bought RoK but wont know for many months just how fucking shitty the game has become.

People quit, but they also seem to come back.
