I was reading a post on the SOE forums about the trial accounts and only allowing one trial per email address. So when sending out the trials use a different email for each recruitee. Then when you subscribe that trial change the email back to your main account email address so all your messages are where you need them.
I have also noticed that SOE customer service is very responsive to community questions. If you have a question about the raf just ask them, they seem to respond very fast.
Ok, saw the different vet rewards and the past items my old account has and relized I'd be throwing stuff away by starting all new accounts for my other boxes. I have three EQ2 accounts total as is (only reactivated one so far). 1 of them is linked to my primary EQ1 account and is the one that will be my main EQ2 account as well. It has the 5 year vet reward and everythig in between. The second account also has the 5 year vet reward and everything inbetween. The third account has I think the three year vet reward maybe even 4 and not sure about expansion rewards, but probably up to the expansion just before RoK.
My initial plan was to keep one old account and start 5 brand new accounts with RaF. But...5 year vet reward includes an orb of concentrated memories, which lets you reset your adventuring vitality to 0....which if you play alot, probably can be seen as bonus exp. indiffinently. RaF bonus exp. only last for 90 days I think. RaF rewards are nice, but....a clicky I can use once a week to reset my adventruing vitality to zero sounds alot better....I think...right??? What do you guys think?
Oh and I'd still get the RaF exp. bonus for all toons since I will start up three new accounts using each of my other three as the referral. It's just instead of having only one character not get the mount and the cloak, I will have three not get it. But TSO is suppose to come with a mount and cloaks I can eventually get on my own.
Not to mention, one of the vet rewards is a "Pixie on a string" !!!
Mystery Moppet for the winza!
Turn off illusions and be shrunk 40% - and for a rat tank that's a pretty small rat ;)
Yah, saw someone running around with the ragdoll illusion, absolutely want it!! Didn't realize it was a vet reward. That seals the deal. Also opens up all races for me since any race I pick (two of em anyway) can be made small, but probably still doing human guardian and gnome everything else.
Got my 6 box started, still lots to do to set it all up right, but all the accounts are subscribed and updated to TSO, 3 old accounts with some really cool vet rewards and three new accounds with all the RAF stuff also linked to each of my three old accounts. Using the TSO box to upgrade a trial to subscribed gets you 30 days of free play, as the box states. I think thats a better deal then paying $14.99 for RoK, unless you plan on taking till next expansion to get caught up.

Kinda crappy picture, maybe I take better ones later with the sun up in the back ground and a better location and then replace these with those.
Trying out Guardian, templer, warden, dirge, conjuror and illusionist. Not sure how their buffs/debuffs stack with each other, but I like the dirge and illusionis so far....although I read somewhere they pretty much fill the same role? Oh well, have only set-up 3 computers and accounts to do very basic boxing for what I am use to. Gonna set-up the other three now and then three box my brand new accounts to lvl10 where all my old accounts are and then try 6 boxing. So far, even three boxing feels more difficult then EQ1 was for me, but it's probably just because I really don't have a firm grasp on setting everything up yet.
Which parts are you finding difficult Herc? Happy to help if I canQuote:

ps: Nice graphics card
Actually going very well now that I have all my X-keys set-up (bare minimum working order really) and my 4 casters (illu, conj, wardena dn templar) running off a vetra with another X-keys. However, I think it can be even easier if I had all 6 accounts running off a vetra. Would bring my button mashing down to @ 2 (repeat till dead) presses per kill probably. Just gotta decide if it's worth $339+$35 shipping to me for the 8-port (can daisy chain my current 4-port and a new 4-port for $240 with shipping...but 8-port is better future proofing in case I box more then 6...). Or I can go ISboxer, but I think I would rather keep it mostly hardware boxing.
I use the 8 port for exactly the same reason you suggested - future proofing
With it I can basically do any game which comes along without the need to worry about buying more hardware
Had to laugh at the +$35 shipping - to get the 8 port and km switch to Aust actually cost over 300USD (worked out to be a little more than the 8 port tbh)
