Restarting EQ Fresh
 

Okay i havent played this game in forever but i love and miss it so much. Im really glad i found this website today, ( EQ IS installing now) On live a couple years back i played Shadowknight and druid, do you guys recomend any class and race to have alot of fun with? And is it hard to have a group experience with other players due to population or..? I miss doing crushbone runs <3

i just started up here for the first time as well. play whatever class you want, though i hear that at the high end there is a slight over-concentration of the more solo-able classes.

my barbarian warrior has been able to find small pickup groups in BlackBurrow even, so if you start over by crushbone i can't imagine you'd have a problem finding a group. :)

Crushbone is a great spot for lower levels. Always seems to be groups to be had there.
You may struggle a little bit if you choose a non-solo class (eg. warrior/rogue), but you'll get groups if you log in daily. There will DEFINITELY be times when you can't find groups, as the server population has taken a dip, but don't get discouraged. You'll get levels if ya' keep logging in.

Send me (Smilkers) a tell in-game if you need any help.

the low level population is not quite what it was back in 2000, but you can still find groups. Play a race/class combo that sounds fun to you, I think everyone finds different things fun so play what sounds good to you.

Props for not begging for another server to split the population just so you can more easily earn legacy items, but are instead willing to fight your way up unlike the recent plague of certain other new players. I salute you.

tbh you'll have more consistent popluation for grouping in Crushbone than anywhere else at lowest startign levels up to low teen, then oasis crocs/orcs next for population teens to 20.

although my 2 cents BB>CB. come at me!
