Why is it so hard to get a group in Old Sebilis?

[spectrefax]

Some very interesting replies.

I've tried to start my own group at the door on occasion, but it's always met with crickets despite everyone sitting there with the LFG tag on. Most of these replies confirm my suspicion that Sebilis is largely populated by guild/friend groups who view outsiders as basically trash (which I find unfortunate).

Oh, well, guess I know not to waste my time there anymore. Thanks for the insight, everyone. Much appreciated.

I'm guildless and most of my leveling friends have quit. I never have an issue finding a group in seb. I think it's your class, not some elite conspiracy agenda. I don't mean that as a general diss on necromancers, either. Just how the majority of eqers perceive them in group settings. It sucks cause I've seen some balling necros pulling off some neat utility tricks and great dps in groups.

I wrote earlier that I felt it was probably class-related, but I can see Spyders points having some merit to them.

I imagine it's probably a combination of everything mentioned and then just bad luck on OPs behalf.

Yeah everybody, just quit the class you like and roll another toon to 55 like Swish the cUcK recommends

You’ll be grouping in no time!

Play a cleric or enchanter, much less lfg time

cleric and enchanter are both just necromancer junior.

I disagree. I played my Cleric in Seb a lot a couple weeks back and I got a single group pretty much the entire time I was there. There was 1 or 2 occasions that I had to log before the group could form, but in the end, I found seb to just be a waste of time.

I can understand where some folks feel the guildmember/friend groups are more efficient and make the entire process easier. However, pugs being ignored definitely keeps the stereotypical view point of P99 being for neckbeards only in tact.

It seems that this server is great till you hit mid-level. Once you hit mid-level or past, your pretty much look down upon from some of these high lvl players. Making xping a lot harder, more time consuming and mostly a solo project which drives most folks away that are interested in group play whether with friends or pugs.

Find a nice guild and play with those folks and pugs would be my suggestion. I luckily have found a great guild that has kept me busy and having fun and I think if you want to make it in the high end game, you will need this. I would also suggest to check out other dungeons that people completely ignore. Have had some great times in other lvl 50 dungeons that aren't crowded.

Chardok? Every time I go there on my necro and solo, I see maybe 1 or 2 other people.

I know of a few people that refuse to kill them for a chance at spirit wrack cords or some magical ring with charges of a poop sauce DS. I say to them. DOWN WITH THE FILTHY SARNAKS!

I am surprised that not many go to this zone given that ports to SF are easier to obtain now.

Chardok is definitely one and the hole is definitely another. Requiring a key for the hole makes this a lot less popular but if you get one or make an alt to open the door, it can be a great place.

Otherwise it seems like your regulated to KC or Seb if you just want to LFG in ooc at the zl. Although have heard HS is great too but another spot that you need a key for.

There just seems to be a lot less ppl in seb recently. I've been able to log in and get crypt solo pretty consistent even sometimes within prime time hours. Maybe people are more focused on raiding now? In any case as most people have mentioned necros are so powerful you don't really need a group and you could start a small group that could easily do c/e bc as a necro you can charm at c/e (if you were a super well geared lvl 60 im sure you could solo crypt really). Or just watch ssederix (sp) howling stones videos and fly to 60 solo in that zone

It is and always is and always has been hit or miss LFG in Seb. A big thing to consider is that moving around in Seb is difficult and people are lazy. That's where rogues shine, but there's often an over saturation of them when I'm there. Most groups can use 3 dps. Other roles are almost always a single slot in the group. If you're not needed to replace one of those single slots you're not getting invited. P99 mentality is 100% efficiency when you're dealing with experienced players.
