For my job, I tried logging into my ancient SWG/EQ2 Station account this past Friday to see if A) I remembered my account login and B) to demo the new Voice Chat feature. Also, the Conference Call chatter about it got me curious if it really was fixed up now.

I actually remembered my old account info and managed to jump right into Everquest 2 without resubscribing!? My character was still in the Queen Island training area but otherwise, it looks like I have a working account. Even today, Sunday, I can login and run around the world.

I'm not quite sure what the deal is... How am I able to access this stuff now with the Living Legend trial period over with? Did they charge a credit card I no longer have (like I said, this is an ancient account)? Is the Queen Island area a "free" zone where you don't have to be a paying subscriber? Did the magical gods of SOE bless me with a comp'd account because of my faithful allegance to them from the old days of Freeport, through the dusty deserts of Tatooine to this new semi-familiar world?
