Hi, me and a mate of were both very impressed with EQII (myself beeing an old EQ player) after taken a look in the forum and tested the trial. We realise that research in any game is important and we've been browsing the forums but we're still a bit confused about some things...

1) We plan to roll on a PvP server and we understand that AA's are a huge part of pvp and that locking your combat XP is adviced. But if you don't lock your combat xp what will happen to you later on? Can you choose to lock later in the game and regain the AA's you've missed? Lets say that you were to blast through tier 1/2 and then start farming AA's at 30 or even 40 instead?

2) Can a new player catch up with the twinked t2 and t3's with only tradeskilled gear? In old EQ the low level craftables could not compare to items like fungi tunic and suchlike.

3) Which PvP is the most active? The lower tiered PvP or the t7? Also, how long does it take to reach max level compared to EQ1 - if it takes as long to reach 70 as it did there neither of us can be bothered with it.

4) Is locking only common in tier 2-3? Once you're beyond that point you'll be on par with most people until you start getting near 70?

- If anyone would care to answer theese questions that'd be greatly appriciated!

Regards, Sajt

The toons I'm leveling on Nagafen are now level 24. Play on Nagafen is very different than I'm used to on PVE servers.

Someone please 'splain to me what "city pvp rules" are and what "carnage" flagging is.

Thanks

If you spend a certain amount of time in an opposing city (I think the countdown is like 30 sec?) you become carnage flagged.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure once you're carnage flagged in an opposing city, anyone at any level can attack you, however they will also become carnage flagged.

I think your questions come down to this:

What is the best level to lock combat to maximize AAs, so that you have max AAs at the same time you are level capped for exp.

I'd like the answer to this also. I personally hate the T2 game, it's all fully fabled and mastered twinks in full groups rolling newer players who have crap gear and not even all equip slots filled.

I'm 24 now on the two toons I'm leveling, and would like to figure out the best leveling/questing strat for getting a large pool of AAs built up first before I level to the cap, for the purpose of making exping and PVPing easier along the way.

i would get out of T2 as fast as i can and then get all the aa's i can. try to get groups if you go out but there's nothing wrong with going solo. just get out of T2.

that's only kelethin cuz of the weird geography. as soon as you enter qeynos or freeport or neriak you become carnage flagged

and if you're exiled, anyone at any level can attack you, carnage flagged or not. it's hell on lowbie exiles :D

I very strongly believe they should prevent level locking until level 30. Those T2 lockers chase a lot of new players away from PVP and EQ2. You cannot get a realistic view of PVP in EQ2 until you get past T2, because the idiot noobs who perma level lock at T2 and play the entire game that way ruin the lower level game IMO.
