SOE Pushing EQ Players to EQ2

I thought the Living Legacy was over, but I guess not. Over in the EQ2 world, the Living Legacy promotion was such a hit (or perhaps failure?) that they’ve decided to continue it. The strange twist? They aren’t targeting former EQ2 players, they’re targeting former EQ players.

It makes sense they would want to funnel their players to their latest game, but this move shocks me a bit. Why did they extend this offer only to former EQ players? Why isn’t EQ getting any sort of Living Legacy extension? Is this a sign that perhaps EQ2 isn’t performing as they would like? Why wouldn’t they also extend this offer to EQ and let former EQ2 players try out EQ? Or, at the very least, allow the offer for former EQ players to play EQ to go on a little longer.

My gut tells me that they want to move as many players as possible to EQ2, but there’s plenty of ways you could try and read between the lines.
