It's alright,off hrs you'll probably struggle but peak times in popular spots you'll be fine

All about finding the popular spots during non-dead hours.

CoM is usually busy for instance.

It's not bad but there seem to be a TON of people leveling clerics. I went to mistmoore on my 30 cleric and there were like four other clerics in zone LFG. Make of that what you will.

Everyone has clerics on green, even out of the gate my first char was cleric and every group was all clerics trying to figure out how to cleric using all clerics because too cleric everywhcleric.

Makes sense given how much knowledge everyone now has about the game.

I would say that Clerics are probably the OVERALL best Class during Classic. They're extremely powerful which makes them ALWAYS required. You'll always have a group invite. You'll always have a raid spot. And you can do some decent undead soloing if you really have to.

Oh and they get some of the best/coolest (IMO) loot along the way.

Everyone rolls clerics because the server is comprised mostly of harcore raiders who know how many will be needed for a CH chain

To answer your question, both servers are pretty dead in that level range. Even HK gobs is which is surprising

Don't bother, everyone is antisocial and wants just do their own shit. All people wanna do is the same shit over and ovr. so many great camps out there but nah...gotta hit that zem! yes i'm salty, 12 years of this server off and on. I wanna do some new camps...

I feel like at the very start of the new server is the only chance we'll get to actually group at something other than the same damn spots.

But maybe even then we can't.

I've played here for 10 years, and I don't think I've EVER stepped into Runnyeye.

All I see is druids, enchanters, SKs, iksar monks, and necros trying to solo.

good players tend to solo because the overwhelming majority of casual levelers are two steps away from useless and/or so abysmally lazy its hard to understand how they even function in life

Soloing gives you more flexibility too.

I enjoy grouping for hours with randoms and chatting, etc but sometimes you're busy with daily tasks/errands and you can only play in 30 minute chunks of time.

Soloing is perfect for that.

Something I like is microbreaking where you break tasks into ~15 minute segments then take ~ mins break. Perfect for camping 22 min reapawns!

Just did most of 58 and 59 with the solo pather LDC tunnel in SolB doing this.

<Pals> actively recruits all level ranges. We can help you re-acclimate to the game, get around, and help find groups.

My gameplay preference is usually duo/trio or a fourth when needed to certain camps.

Probably the best XP I've ever gotten (non-PL) was levels 58/9 at Efreeti duo with a level 60 Torpor Shaman.

I did runny twice maybe in 12 years? i've tried for weeks to get a static group going or to get a group together to try new camps. But no one ever wants to travel or leave there comfort zone of whatever redundant camp they are at. Shits getting old.

ZEM needs to rotate every 2-4 weeks to keep things fresh and interesting. This goes for ALL level ranges, IMO. Would be comically easy to implement.

Unrest during peak hours is always packed... during off hours though there's very often only 1 or less groups going

The duality of "I'm not playing on a low pop server" with "Why is KC always so busy?" and then waiting an hour for a group invite :o

Create a no cross teaming teams pvp server. Guaranteed fastest way to make all leveling zones 100% relevant.

It's a 20+ year old game on a 10+ year old emulated server. Keeping things 'fresh and interesting' is impossible.

I have been playing a lot lately as my lvl 20-35s and there are almost always groups in popular zones. Unrest, MM, CoM, HK goblins just to name a few I have been in.

Surely this 50 person population server is the answer to all our woes!
