Cool/Uncool
I'm still catching up on the EQII news and I'll tell you what I think is cool or uncool as I do. Let's start with the easy stuff.
Cool
The second official EQII podcast was not just better than the first, it was markedly better. I criticized the initial podcast for being overly scripted and believe me it was. And I think the people at SOE realized it themselves.
So they did the right thing and changed it. The new, more casual format is clearly more entertaining and can still impart the necessary information. It also showed that the SOE crew are real people and a fairly funny lot. An official podcast like this is not a necessity, but it is a nice bonus.
Uncool
I don't know what this is all about but I don't like it.
Cool
This "leaked alpha" video of EoF looks pretty good (although it takes a day and a half to load).
Uncool
No evil Fae? When did that happen? Well, I've just have to roleplay my Fae as good but extremely annoying.

Yeah welcome back!!!
Two posts in three days, its good to see you picking up steam again Aggro. ;)
I think I've checked your blog 5 times a day since you went afk.
Yah, they announced a couple of months ago that Fae would be "good" instead of "neutral." They said something about it being more ture to the lore or somesuch.
I personally believe that it's becuz they didn't want to have to change the character select screen to show all 24 classes if you start as a Fae.
Good to see you back. Can't believe I actually missed your EQ2 musings :) Hail from down under!
"Well, I've just have to roleplay my Fae as good but extremely annoying"
How is that any different then you normal play style?
I think Blair scored with that Ogre. And I don't mind the Fae thing myself, if they made them still neutral it may have clashed with being an exile but it isn't like you can't turn evil anyways.
Part of the reason for "good" only fae may be to equal out the numbers of qeynosians vs. freeporters on pvp servers.
Hey! Welcome back Aggro. Good to see you posting again. Hope to see you on Naggy soon, haven't killed an AC toon in awhile.
Aye, I sent some feedback about Fae being only good as well as EoF being for goodies too. Was getting a bit tired of the literal 'good' and 'evil' scenario being so set in stone and restricting your personal character development preferences.
In fact all I got back from a dev was an accusation that I was attempting online extortion (because I said I was losing interest in playing). Gave me good reason to cancel early :)
