November 7th, 2004: I think that the EQ2players.com guild website would be a better place for our guild. I'm not sure who can set up the website once we've started our guild in game. I am hoping that Greyhound will be guild leader. If the website can be established by a guild officer, I'll set up the guildsite.

August 6th, 2004: Steve "Moorgard" Danuser revealed some information on banking over on the official forums.

Moorgard wrote:
Actually the current plan is to have shared slots between characters of the same alignment. That is, two good characters would share certain bank slots, and two evil characters would share certain bank slots, but an evil character and a good character would not share any. That preserves individual city markets while retaining most of the convenience of shared banking.

As for people who betray their city, I imagine during the betrayal period your character would probably lose access to any shared slots, and when your citizenship switch is complete you would be able to share slots with characters that match your new alignment.

August 5, 2004: When someone asked recently on the EQII Forums what others felt might be a good length of baby levels to stay on the Isle of Refuge (the starting zone for EQII), Moorgard had this to say:   

My advice is to stay on the island and do every quest you find. You'll end up with a suit of really good starting armor, as well as some other items that prove very useful. Don't only do your archetype quests, but talk to everyone you see and be sure to examine points of interest closely.

July 24th, 2004: I've made some changes to this website today . Once I get a character creation disc, I'll see if I can use screenshots from it to start on a members page design.

July 20th, 2004: I hope everyone likes what I'm doing with this site. I don't want to make it to fancy and to keep it low maintenance. Oh, and today's my 52nd birthday :)
