New Ranger (blue)
 

Hey P99.

I got fed up with modern MMO design and decided to start playing here after remembering that this server was a thing. I tried it a long time ago but just didn't have the time due to RL issues. I ended up rerolling to Ranger, probably due to some latent masochistic tendencies.

I started out in the Qeynos area, focusing on tracking skeletons for my first few levels. Afterwards I moved out alternating between the Blackburrow area and the diseased wolves for their respective turn-ins. After hitting 7 a nice Druid by the name of Frilbo ported me over to the Faydark area - thanks again if you manage to read this.

So here I am, currently residing in Crushbone. Hopping around from group to group and picking off stray centurions in the meantime. Starting out in this game is really brutal, but I am having a great time. Cheers to the admins and whomever else put this server together.

Anyway. My character name is Aurra if anyone wants to say hi or whatever.

I just started here as well. Wood Elf Ranger, only level 4 currently but will be moving up quickly.
I'll add ya ;-)

Good luck with lvling a ranger. Difficult but worth it.

Very true. :D But will get a bit easier in Velious with Fear Animal at level 22, and no Hybrid penalty. :p

Yeah, exp penalty can be a bit frustrating at times - but I'm in no hurry. I find the game very enjoyable before the level cap.

Took the boat over to East Commonlands and managed to flip a few really low end items. Hoping to save enough money for one or two entry level 1h weapons like a PGT or equivalent.

Good grouping with you yesterday, Aurra. May see you again in Crushbone soon if I can find some time to play :cool:

For me it's not so much the xp penalty that a killer or anything though it is definitely annoying, it's those people who won't let you group because of the xp penalty that's upsetting. Fortunately I don't run into many of them and the ones that I have I didn't want to group with anyway.

reroll

Nice grouping with you too. Was a fun party.

And yeah, I can understand the frustration of community stigmas against a class. I've met some really good players (some old, some new) who want to form a static party with me, so that will nip that potential problem in the bud. Amazing what happens in a game that emphasizes social interaction.

Leveling a Ranger was never hard for me until I hit 50. Everyone was willing to group until then but once I hit 50 it was like I had some contagious disease. Good luck though, it's a really fun class!
