Thoughts of my first week

Detrik13 · #1 02-25-2015, 04:11 PM

Having been a old EQ vet that started playing EQ in February of 2000, raided into PoP figured I would share a few things. The Good. The server seems really nice, accurate and brings back a lot of old memories. There seems to be a lot of helpful, generous people around. The Bad. Crashing just about every time you zone, a zone with 3 people in it being wiped out by twinks. About level 5 it feels like you start running into a brick wall, a large part of it caused by twinks running under geared players out of the zone because they leave you nothing to kill. In retail it really wasn't that much of a problem on my server but its just crazy here.

Zone crashing is fixable. I was crashing a lot when I first started too. Check out the tech forum and look through posts. If you still have questions post about it, people are very helpful.

As for the twinks emptying a zone, that seems fairly rare to me, maybe you just got unlucky. I rarely have seen that happen in cb or bb, which are two great newb dungeons.

I'm not sure about the crashing but i just started aweek ago and have only crashed once. I hope you can fix that. I also was able to join a CB group fairly easy when i went and had a good time. I have seen people get plvl which can be annoying to monster density, say in EC. What level and class are you? Once you develop your friends list you should find somewhat like leveled character to play with. Best luck. BTW My guys are Garthin level 19 Enchanter and Congorats level 5 Warrior.

I kind of agree with the twinks running around, but whatever.... yuhknow? Most folks (99%) are real cool. Sometimes it can be frustrating to go to Highkeep, Mistmoore or Unrest and not be able to get in a group. I cant blame that on twinks though, just the same damn wierdos that have been in the zone for the past week at the same camp

I love EQ, but I cant play it like some of these trogs do - 16 hours a day 7 days a week.

Look up Lazaru, 26 Necro, if you ever want to group.
