1. What is eq2raid.net?

This site was created to help the Everquest 2 community plan large and small scale events for other people on their servers. The benefits of using this site are numerous. Anyone may create an event for people to enroll in. The host of the event may set many different parameters and restrictions onto the event, such as level restrictions, active player limits, and total enrollment limits. From the players perspective, they can search for events on or between dates and times so they may find something to join that is within their play time.

2. Why do I have to set a timezone?

The reason for this is that all the dates and times you see on the site are actually adjusted to the time zone you live in. This just makes it easier for the user to see precisely what time on their home clock an event will occur.

3. What is a calendar server?

Upon logging into the website, the calendar you see on the right springs to life, detailing for you what days have events on them, and in turn letting you browse them by day, or by month. But how do we know what servers events to show on there? That is precisely what this option is specifying.

4. Okay I am registered, now what?

Once you are registered, you should go to the settings page and add to your account some of the characters you play with. Within the settings page is a character management system, where you can add, delete and modify your characters as you progress through the game. It is the characters you add here that get enrolled into the events that you and other people put online. After this is done you may now begin to use all the features of the site, the major areas of interest will be the New Event, Find Event, and the dynamic calendar displayed on the main page. If at any time you are unsure of how to do something, most pages have a help link at the top right of the page that will bring up a quick help popup that details how to use the current page. If you still have a question, dont hesitate to email faq@eq2raid.net to ask for help.

5. Why cant I pick a character when creating an event?

In order to create an event, you need to have a character to host it, you can add this character to the system by going to the Settings page, and clicking Add Character at the bottom. Now when you go to create an event, your characters will be listed in the drop down box to be hosts.

6. Whats the difference between active limit and enroll limit?

The active limit is essentially the number of players that can take part in the event. If the enroll limit is higher than the active limit, then you are essentially saying that anyone who enrolls beyond the active limit will become a backup player, in such a case that one of the active players cannot make it, the backup players can then get first dibs. All up to the host of course though.
