Their will not be a character trasfer for EQ2. There is just no reason for it. If everyone has to start new then there will not be a transfer.

well i think there's something most ppl who what that don't get about eq2...it takes place in norrath's future...there being an Antonius Bayle IV should clue you in that it's not just a couple of years...also there will be new races and a few of the old ones...and about the same setup with classes as well...combine that with a probably completely different gameplay setup and a higher level cap than 65 and i you can see why char transfers would be extremely hard if not just flat out impossible to do

even if they did do a char transfer i think there would be some things to look at...like char age for example...how many humans that are mortal live to see four generations? sure elves will be ok but what about anyone who has a char of another race...i could see at least humans, erudites, and barbarians at least having problems with the timeline trouble...then what's to say that the class your main is now doesn't make it to eq2...all that time spent playing it and getting to 65 with all the aa points and uber gear won't mean anything if you have to start over...i think plenty of ppl will get pissed if their main can't get transfered while other ppls can

if eq2 is nice enough i'm sure that it might draw from the crowd of ppl that left eq cause they got bored with it, with all the new ideas and designs put into eq2 i think most eq players will probably just want to see what norrath is like in the future
