it's not the same

[Revelation]

I just got into this again (first time was eq original 1999 never touched kunark).. I rolled a high elf enchanter and both high elf and wood elf cities are empty minus a few (1 or 2?) People in it. Granted the population will be much lower than it was back then but what I loved about eq was all the people everywhere all over kelethin running from orcs and grouping up finding different strategies to try again. is the newbie population low or am I doing something wrong? Kelethin is empty.. should I move to freeport or where? I'm only level 2. And if so.. how? There's nobody here [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I always found Kelethin, gfay, and crushbone to be populated noobie zones. Obviously nothing like East Commonlands as a noobie zone, but still populated at least 20+ nonetheless.

Sounds like you're on the red (pvp) server and not the blue (pve) server. Pretty sure Gfay rarely drops below 20 people on blue.

I'm actually on the blue server but maybe its because of the time I play (6 AM Est) I figure people are sleeping or out working.. I work night shift security so it might be the cause for not finding anyone. With that said, is there another zone I should head to in hopes of finding more people with my play schedule? Thanks in advance

I'd stick to the "happy path" of popular grouping zones like East Commons, Oasis, Unrest, Mistmoore, Lake of Ill Omen, Dreadlands, City of Mist, Karnor's, etc. These zones tend to be overcrowded at normal times, but I'd imagine they have a decent amount of people even at off times. But then again, I normally would put Crushbone on that list, so your luck may vary

Also I'd recommend learning the zone abbreviations for zones you'd like to do. That way you can check if anyone is in Crushbone just by doing "/ crushbone all", without having to run there and then be disappointed.

Great post. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Yeah OP is playing in the wrong zone at the wrong time sad to say. EC and the Tunnel is where to go early to get groups in Orc camps, and uber buffs to Solo. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Or just play a damned good solo class like a Necro, Mage, Enchanter, Bard.
