Have fun, make friends, farm cash. You can make a ton of pp solo doing very easy camps for a 60 shaman (even without torpor).

If you really want a torpor NOW the best bet is to join a guild that clears that stuff regularly.
You are Brad McQuaid and I claim my GBP5.

For you it might be about the journey. For a huge number of players (and by future developments after EQ, pretty much the vast majority, in fact many fold times the audience EQ achieved) its about enjoying the game with completed characters in raids, events and even PvP.

One of the nuttier aspects of the EQ design was that the best way to keep people playing was to give them repetitive, time consuming grinds in place of properly designed, varied end game content. The idea that you would be best spending 220 hour farming Seafuries or probably much more time trying to get lucky in a /random is as ridiculous today as similar mechanics were back in 1999.
