if your not on the good discords/a streamer your kind of just a person here
you can still have a lot of fun with the game tho by taking it slow and making fun stories out of it, creating a community of ragtag rebel newbies that are anti-whatever raid guild things or whatever.
rawhide, and banded goes forever a long way on iskars lol and necros don't even need armor

its just that most regular leveling groups are well established also, so the game requires a great deal of social time on top of a slow grind if approached normally without powerlevels etc, which people who are kind of loners/families either work around or just take 2cnd seat. When there's an available spot.
It's not a bad thing, EQ is more social-dynamic that way in that it requires a kind of group organization and leadership, or joining, and working towards joining a 'good team' to follow to 'do stuff' outside of level in the newbie areas and do some tradeskills. There's probably a few people who just leveled a mage solo to 50 or 60 or whatever tho. And enchanter is a good option for logging in and killing a mob every 30 minutes while naked too.
