War Eagle! back to you Rubkis.

So far looks like a cleric, and a couple of SK's. I'll be on around 7 or 8 central time tonight. I'll look for you guys. We'll give it a shot and see how it goes.:)

I'm an irregular playing enchanter who loves to go to the less often used zones. Only 26 atm so maybe a next weekend or so...

What level range are you guys looking for? IIRC CT is like late 20s-mid 30s...Is that correct?

Yes, you should be fine killing CY stuff in your 20's.. The TR is fine at around 30.. Archon Pyramid is probably best at 35 - 40ish (I can't recall). There are also the gators, etc. I remember that place being so crowded back in the day.. CY, TR, 4 corners, gators, all had groups..

I'm looking for 30-35ish (+/- a few) folks personally. I'll probably be there more once I hit 34 - 35..

Well, no one showed, so an unsuccessful thread. But, it was worth a shot.

Or you could, you know, level up and do it later. Or buy one. Not the hardest things in the world.

Interesting, but typical of common day gamer attitude (but hey, WoW is over 10 million and classic EQ is dead, but sad to see it on this server). Getting the totemic helm was the lowest concern of the reason I posted this thread. Recreating the classic experience (which I thought was the point of this server) was my main reason for posting. Did you notice I specifically named rogues/SK's as team members (hmm, anything in CT for those classes?). The point being, it is much more satisfying to "do" a dungeon at the appropriate level along with other group members that also need drops. But, yeah I suspect I will be doing this after I've "outleveled" the content or resort to buying the helm (or something better) when I've "camped/grinded" enough pp to do so. Wooohoo! Exactly the reason I joined the server. /rant off

Majority had this attitude even back when EQ was young. It was a chore to form groups for out of the way places in original and Kunark. If it wasn't on the exp trail, it would mostly be empty. Often it would take me an hour or two of running about zone to zone ooc, typing "/who all whatever class - whatever level range" for one or two more to go somewhere like Droga (Cazic Thule was well used then) for example. This would be when /who all count would return 2000 or more. Sometimes I would just have to take that boring camp that provided reliable near risk free exp....

It did pay off though, more often then not -these pick up groups- had some superb players, and they usually did not attract clueless players. Lead to many long term game friends there.

Nice thing on this server for forming groups is the /who all zonecode to see who is where and possible to recruit. (doesn't return anon people though)

There's a good reason why that is the typical attitude: because it is the path of least resistance and most reward. If you want to do hard things for little reward, there are a thousand things to do and a thousand ways to do them. And when you burn out at level 40, I wish you luck on the next, easier game you choose to play.

Compare say Droga to OT or similar outdoor zone. (I am using my experience on live server, have not been here enough -but it does seem close enough)

Risk

Droga medium to high
OT Low to medium

Reward--

--loot

Droga meduim to high
OT low to medium

--exp

Droga low to high (low if group doesn't work)
OT medium to high

--exciting adventure

Droga medium to high
OT low to medium

The out of the way places are not that hard as you imply -overall eq isn't that hard....
