The initial Free to Play business model had some hangups which upset and frustrated returning veteran players with the fact that their fully Mythical-geared level 90 Sarnak Bruiser now had to be unlocked by buying the right to play as both the Sarnak race and the Bruiser class first, as well as paying $10 per character slot past the most recent 2 you used, as well as $0.30 per mythical item to use said gear.The Freeblood and Aerakyn races, and the Channeler and Beastlord classes are still locked behind a freemium paywall, even for All Access subscribers (which is mitigated by the 500 Daybreak Cash given each per month.) As of 2018, free to play players have access to four character slots can only use certain designated chat channels (an anti-spambot countermeasure) have alternate advancement points set at 50% and have no control over where those points are allocated can only level to 20 levels lower than the adventure cap have some restrictions on spell and gear quality cannot trade certain items have fully access to every expansion up unto the last 5 releases and cannot access special event servers like Time-Locked Expansion servers or the PVP servers. The model underwent some redesigns, especially when Sony Online Entertainment sold the game to Daybreak Studios. Allegedly Free Game: EverQuest 2 opened up to a Free To Play model in 2011, initially allowing players to play the entire game for free, but at severe restrictions. The developers even included alien-sounding gibberish recorded voice lines for speaking NPCs and players who don't speak that language. Until you've done so, they're incomprehensible. EQ2 has "language quests", where you have to kill enemies of a certain race until they drop items, and when you've collected enough items then you learn to speak that language. Aliens Speaking English: Averted, unlike EQ1.Here they just seem to hate everyone, Perhaps due to Trakanon taking over at some point. Adaptational Villainy: The Ring Of Scale in the first game was a faction of dragons that were more neutral that evil, started out non-hostile to everyone, and would give you quests if you raised your faction enough.While he's still a pretty big Jerkass, he comes across more as a Well-Intentioned Extremist who is trying to stop Darathar (the game's orignal Big Bad,) and seems genuinely distraught over Lady Vox being killed by Darathar's forces. Here he is a quest giver and not immediately hostile. Adaptational Nice Guy: A very downplayed example, but Lord Nagafen in the first game was just an evil monster who couldn't be reasoned with and tried to kill everyone he met on sight. Freeport's sewer system is significantly wetter and filthier (the deepest section, Edgewater Drains, is partially flooded), and was designed to filter the tides so that the ocean stays out of Freeport and no other city districts go the way of Sunken City. Kinda like they used to do in Paris, France. Some parts of the sewers of Qeynos take this trope to such a ridiculous extreme that you might be forgiven for thinking you're in an underground cathedral (since there are those there as well.) Justified in that the sewers are also the catacombs where most of Qeynos' dead are laid to rest.
