Yes. And for most of June and July, 208, there was a 54 day free
thing for returning players. The defiant armor items still drop,
they are better than cultural until level 70. Hot zones just
changed. Oh, the hot zones during the 54 day promo got an
additional 35 percent exp bonus. Gone now. See the soe forums for
details.

]Is EQ 1 or 2 better?

Up to you.

]If not are there any games out there that have the equivalent of
]enchanter charm soloing?

No idea.

]Hmm. What kind of differences are there?

I don't play EQ 2, so I don't know. There are several discussions
about the differences on the official EQ 1 SOE forums, in The
Newbie Zone.

]I couldn't even figure out how to or if it is possible to purchase

Station pass gets you monthly access to all SOE games. You just
have to buy the expansions. EQ 1 now has all expansions as part
of each new expansion, the new one shows up in October/November
now. So you pay 40 dolalrs, and get all expansions. I don't know
if EQ 2 does something similar.
