So I am a lifetime member and back in the day I was really into EQ raiding when this game came out. I always wanted to make this my main game but kept getting dragged away. New server has really peeked my interest (wife and I). I am playing a hunter and she a minstrel. I am enjoying the leveling journey and story..won't be skipping that on the way to 50 but I would like to know...what is life at 50 going to look like? Also what will it be like during the next expansion?

Some questions:
What raids are at 50? What kinda dungeons. Are there normal and hard mode dungeons? What is the gear grind like? i know one of the expansions brings out legendary gear/weapons. What is the leveling of that like? Is it a massive grind or is it fun by doing guild stuff to accomplish them?

What is the expansion after the level 50 cap? What does it add to endgame or is it mostly just story additions and new gear? I love the story and how it feels, and really love the community (world conversations and such) but at the end of the day endgame is what keeps me around if I have friends to do it with. I will join a kinship once I feel out what I am looking for in the game but until then would like to know what a its like at endgame. Guess I am asking..when I log in for 2-3 hours a day...what should/would I be doing with my time if I am wanting to maximize my character.

Thanks!
