Just started back and already dont know how to feel

[A1rh3ad]

When green started I got my ogre warrior to level 10 and managed to grind lizardmen for enough pp to buy a full set of banded armor and grabbed some some fine steel 1h weapons from a player killing ogre guards. I took a long break to focus on irl stuff. Recently I got the itch to come back and coming back my wife and I grinded on dervs, deathfists and crocs when we could find a group and 2 manned spiders and scarabs in Ro. The typical things you do. This time was different though. I felt like I've done all this. Walking through the tunnel I was watching the auction channel and it made me depressed. I will never afford this stuff. It just beat down my sense of self worth. Got in a group with some players who were not twinked to the point of being invincible but were dealing twice my damage and took hits like a truck. This made me feel even more depressed. While I am excited to get to level 13 for duel wield grinding felt like a chore. Nothing was interesting. I hope I'm not burned out on this game. I'm not sure what to do. I want to play but everything makes me sigh and not want to. I just watch the time fly by thinking about how I have to work tomorrow, or how there are things in irl I should be doing. The game feels like a daunting hopeless endeavor. Idk, I think there isnt really an answer for this I just wanted to vent a bit. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Log off. Come back if and when it’s what you want.

Trust me man, once you hit like 28+ everything almost drops fine steel which sells for 5pp. Its not difficult at all getting plat, and join a guild they will help you out 100%.

Is your wife still playing with you? Together you can probably duo some decent cash camps ^^

For sure. in the low teens I'm sure you can duo the sisters camp in lfay for some decent cash (they drop bronze weapons). Ogres can vendor at the steamfont druid rings too.

Yeah, those first levels are rough. People have gear now that the server has been around for 8 months, but the first wave was just a bunch of homeless people in rags beating orcs with sticks. If you enjoy the game, stick it out and you'll get there eventually. Better yet, browse the wiki a bit and look up some early-game quests for weapon/armor upgrades to give you a goal and boost your gear a bit at the same time!

Stop trying to buck the path of least resistance and shelf the warrior. Play a necro or a druid or a mage or a chanter. Get to 50, make money then make a melee.

All things in this game are attainable with time and determination. If you are lacking in one or both then maybe its not what you really want to do after all.

I agree with this. You took an IRL break during the one time when it was completely okay / normal to be a melee char in cloth gear with combine / FS weapons. So of course 6+ months later, all the people who didn't take a break, have all farmed themselves a bunch of $$$ and gear for their melee alts.

If you don't want to play in groups as a Warrior in banded, then you should roll a solo powerhouse class first, like Necro, Druid, Enchanter, or Mage. Do the same thing as others have done.

Get a 40+ farming class, learn the dungeons, mobs, where to loot/farm etc. then make yourself some $$. Use that to buy some nice stuff for your Warrior, then when you log on your Warrior YOU'LL be the one with some pretty twinked out stuff shredding stuff up.

However, if you can't enjoy playing a PC game because you're too worried about things IRL that you should be focusing on instead... then that's probably what you should do. Focus on your IRL stuff first and get yourself to the point where you can sit down for a couple hours a night and enjoy the games your playing.

Sounds like you are looking for a low effort yet high reward game/class. EQ/warrior are neither.

And ted talks are informative. This is not.

You and the wife should reroll Gnome Bertox or Brell Serillis worshippers.

Enchanter, Cleric - Warrior, Cleric - Necromancer, Cleric - Magician, Magician etc.

Hard to stay grumpy and lumpy when your booty is wiggling and your arms pumping like a Kenyan runner even though you've got a beer belly and are born "naked" in fisherman overalls.

Start retired, start gnome, always feel at home!
