Anyone playing the free EQ2?

Honestly, for what you are getting for free, it's amazing. I played EverQuest 2 for about a year and a half, and the limitations aren't HALF as bad as people make them sound. I have two backpacks, and I have yet to fill them both up, I just vendor things. As far as not being able to mail, oh well. It is a pain not being able to use /shout and /ooc, but those aren't that important anyways, just more of a convenience. The only flaw I really do not like is the 5xCharacter Level gold restriction (Level 25 character can have 125 gold max), but I guess that will lower the prices on the market! They are trying to offer a micro-transaction based version, and I say props to them. I am sure it will be streamlined down the way, but for now, they are offering you all the content in the game without having to pay ANYTHING, not even for the game itself!

I'm actually really interested in the free EQ2. It isn't as bad as people make it out to be, only if you pay a subscription on it though.

The free restrictions are too harsh to even be competitive on the game. They restrict raid and group obtained gear to be non-usable by free or one-time payment (?!) players.

Boxing multiple characters is the only thing I can see it being used for. Other than that, it's better to subscribe to the free server (not the live servers though.) Why? There's some people braving the restrictions, despite they cannot wear the gear. It will make leveling a lot easier being in a group.
