Hoping that this may draw more players back to the game by giving them access to more content to experience the joy that is this game and its occasional frustration of lag and odd quirks.

Anyway back to reading.

So I just read through the thread in its current state looking for dev responses and saw only 2 more from cord. This is a good thing, but I will iterate once again it does nothing for players like me and I do not think I am alone in this. I have all content (adventure packs), classes, expansions, and universal trees. From what I have read it appears that players like me will get nothing. The VIPs get an additional exp boost, and if they have not purchased any of the the packs or a few, they can get all the packs added allowing them to play everything should their sub lapse.

Now for those that mentioned concern about the expansion that contains the epic trees and destinies that is not that much of an issue. The pack that contains that content will be on sale for 99 points. All a player has to do (free or otherwise) is run quests (speed farm or otherwise) and get 200 points which can be achieved by completing the harbor, korthos and borderlands on elite. Then you can purchase both expansions and have permanent access to the epic content as well.

Will continue to watch this thread to see what other things the Cord may reveal in the next day or week about what the entire community can look forward to in regards to this generous gift they are offering.
it will hopefully give you more people to group with. and more people = longevity of the game.

to all those complaining just received a vip only 10 char space bonus. and who knows what other vip only bonus they will cook up. relax and enjoy the game.
