Help non soloable classes

[Reiker]

Okay let's break it down. I averaged about 4 levels / day (/played). That's 16% an hour. Do you really think gaining 16% of a level for every hour is that crazy?

actually reiker has a meth hookup and when he's talking about 4 levels/day, he really means 24 hour days

i didn't level as fast, all i've got is coke and access to copious amounts of lady gaga music

So you had 12 days played in 15 days? This thread doesn't apply to you, it's to help make the game more accessible for the casual player, who is in the majority.

Yeah I do.

Okay you made 4 levels a day? Played? that already means you played 12.5 days.

In 15 days.

Right now my thinking is:

1) You played a class that is unbalanced right now, mage or necro.

or
2) You had help from some higher level people.

or
3) Most probably you have grouped with people that played everquest with you before. I think it is possible, though I think you played more than 4 hours a day.

So, you never played eq with karsten (assuming for the moment, you aren't karsten) in eq before? The people you grouped with for the most part aren't people you knew from other times in eq?

Like I said. the story is screwy. You can get 16% (actually better than that I think, I got a level in oasis in about two or 3 hours the other day) an hour in certain spots where you can get steady safe pulls. Which is why all those people are in oasis. But it dries up when you level past that and you have to go to the next spot.

Even with only 168 or so (last time I checked) on this server, I haven't grouped more than once or twice with the same people. Make all the comments you want, but it isn't because I'm alienating people.

And another thing. You guys aren't camping to get equipment. If you have a melee, you are your equipment.

Like I said your story is screwy.

4 levels per day = 1 level per 6 hours played. 6 hours x 49 levels = 294 hours total from 1 to 50.

18 - 3 = 15, so you did 1-50 in 15 days. 15 x 24 = 360 hours total.

294/360 means that for your just over 2 week period levelling you spent just under 82% of your time, or 19.6 hours a day on EQ.

Is that about accurate? Do you like, not sleep?

The numbers behind that are just mind boggling and hilarious to me at the same time.

edit: For fun lets say it was 18 days not 15. Then you only spent a much more reasonable 16 hours 20minutes a day on eq. I suppose you could fit in some sleeping time in that case.
