This was pre sony cracking down on account sales, so my account was valid at time of purchase, and therefore for the rest of its existance.

no it wasn't even before sony was cracking down on account sells it was still against the rules that means your account was not valid.

First, check your facts before calling others out as liars.

Accounts created iin the first three or four months of the roll out of everquest were originally EXEMPT from the ban on selling because the EULA did not start out saying anything about it. Eventually SOE did a crackdown on all future sales, got agreements with EBAY so they could cancel bidding on accounts.

The fact is that my account was fully valid, fully ligitimate, and up to that point did not have a single conflict with an GMs what so ever. SOE has piss poor CS, very poor methods of creating so called BALANCE, took a game created to be fun by groups and turned it into a political monstrocity, and nothing you can say or do will change the fact that by the time I did get banned, the game was no longer ANY FUN.

I doubt I will create a new account, spend months leveling up so I can scope out dungeons, so I think that this thread is finished.

even playing casually you can get to 65 in less than 3 months.

I know i got to 55 in about 2 weeks. I would be 65 but i only log on a few days a week and i usually don't play that character.

Back when I was still playing live I could get people to 50+ in 3-4 days. Of corse that was using my shammy to PL.

Took me about 6 weeks to get my shammy to 60 with no PL involved, and the record was a Mage who made it to 60 in 3 weeks with no Pl, so it is very possable. You just need to know where to go.

One thing I think you may miss though is how long did it take to find out where to go and how to play. Was that after a year or more of playing? You said no PL, but what about twinking? Server has some to do with it. I have seen good exp camps that were worthless because they were ALWAYS over camped. You just could not get enough mobs to level fast.


Personally I played a warrior to 54, took about a year of average playing. Plus I had several alts, and did lots of tradeskills/quests. I think /played was about 60 days on him.
