Grouping is dead? Question Mark?
Sat LFG on my cleric level 35 for 7 straight hours today. Saturday. Prime time. Maybe stuff was in window?
Last weekend sat LFG on my 55 enc for 2 days straight. Only a few groups in Karnors Velks and every other zone ghost town. Weekend before that, had to struggle for hours to drag a few people in the level 30-40 range on cleric to a zone for group. (that wasnt mistmoore or highkeep, ffs the only two zones people like to group at in this range) Been trying to get people to the Hole on enchnater for weeks as well. Not too many LFG, and not even many in levle range not on raid. Are people finally stopping logging in? Or is it BG3? | ||

Even when the server was young, fresh, and high pop, if your methodology for LFG was putting your tag up and sitting there, you'd run into frequent log periods of sitting lfg through sheer chance. Gotta be proactive, physically walk up to groups and ask, send tells, build your own groups, etc.
That being said, pops are low outside primetime on green and low across the board on blue. Look into duos and trios; ench is an extremely strong duo class with many other classes, and cleric duos okay with enchanters and twinked melees. Gonna be better xp than a full group anyway. | ||

I’ve always struggled finding groups 35-40.

Yeah yesterday was poopsock day for 7 day spawns, would be hard to get groups for sure
Noone wants to xp in the hole anymore,I don't know why, probably just the no loot. Best xp zone by far | ||

But the 20 or so players actually exping in groups from 50-60 are in Karnors. Everyone else solos / small op trio etc. I only included the story about a cleric sitting LFG for 7 hours because I think it goes to show how little people are actively grouping. Someone had to have had a group and a cleric was leaving, so they searched for replacement heals in that time. Nope. Or apparently not, anyway. Most people are on alt number 7 (like me) and can solo to 50-55. But I also like to group, and have been having increasingly hard time putting together groups for a few months. Some of my most fun groups are with filthy casuals and new to EQ players, but unfortunately they live up to their name and only log in once every 2 weeks. Or they quit after level 30 Because most people have an opinion on "the best spot park for 10 levels to grind," except for filthy casuals and new to EQ players who are usually more down to explore the game, try something new, etc. | |||

Oasis/Crushbone Unrest Highkeep Mistmoore City of Mist Karnor's That's the exact leveling route everyone takes, and finding groups elsewhere is essentially impossible at this point. There aren't enough players in the leveling pool to fill more zones than that, so they pick the ones that are most convenient: outdoor zones with mostly generic melee mobs, and usually with the possibility of training out and/or getting someone's main or guildie to drop by for a rez. Even if a dungeon gives slightly more exp per kill, it usually won't add up to more exp/hour when you factor in the higher difficulty, the fact that the puller can't have a speed buff, and the near-guarantee of a full wipe if anything goes wrong, with little hope of any help recovering. | |||

I absolutely hate KC, but it makes sense why people choose to go there.
