Endgame was an extreme weak point for classic EQ anyway, the trip up is a lot more fun. As is making alts.

This * 1000.

Even sitting at 60 though, there is lots of fun to be had outside of poopsocking or tracking or logging off your main at a boss who is due. There are friends to help, epics to get, plat to be made, zones to be explored, etc.

Just make sure you play a class that is desirable. If you play a hybrid you will get passed up for many groups if they can snag a non hybrid.

Ignore us old, grumpy turds on the forums. We are bored. :p

^ ^ Been on the server 4 months about. Before I went on the forums I was blissfully ignorant of all the drama. Hell, as far as I could tell TMO was a bunch if stand up dudes. Shit's classic!

I played for over a year before I even joined the forums. My son warned me. Heh.

I group a lot with TMO. Port a lot of them. Hey they are mostly all really nice people that buff, rez, help out with hard mobs etc. I mean they do have the top mobs tied up a lot I will admit in Raids. But that is what top guilds do. Do I wish it was better, sure. But it is what it is. :rolleyes:

There is a lot of planes gear to be had they don't even bother with. Just a few classes that you will never get a epic for until Velious comes out, and I play three of those a lot lol. :eek: But this server is still the best thing going. Welcome aboard.

TC should play what he wants. He doesn't have to play a pure to be desirable later. Check out some of the recruiting guilds and you'll see that their demand for Hybrids like Paladins and Bards is high.

Apparently tanks of any kind are such a low population that people are perfectly happy with paladins and SKs as it means they don't need to rely on shaman/ranger tanking.

But that's only what I've heard anyway, I haven't leveled my paladin past 9 yet.

Well, Warrior tanks ARE preferred because of their higher damage mitigation and damage output, but Paladins and SK's are better at spike aggro thanks to ED/Blind/Stuns, and therefore have an easier time maintaining aggro without good weapons.

So long as you aren't infringing on their epic-selling campaign then many are happy to throw a few plat or starter equipment your way.

look me up in game on Rumham if you ever need Clerical helps. People's Champ is people's champ for a reason
