"emphasis on grouping"

"group focused"

"for players who like to group"

See to me that all means "you cannot solo" and I don't like that. I like being able to solo, being able to log on whenever I want and play without having to rely on others all the time or spending half my gaming session LFG. Everquest was the first and last game I've played where you are forced to group with others for everything. Even WoW lets you solo a lot of it's content. You have to group for dungeons but you don't have to group just to take on some of the open world content.

Grouping has it's place, and soloing has it's place. One should not be emphasized over the other, and Brad seems to have a hard-on for forced grouping.

Why are you even on an Eq forum then? Did you solo all of EQ?

I dabble in EQ occasionally still but I mostly solo when I do, and it's never a serious grinding session or anything. I don't have the time or patience to LFG all the time. I did 13 years ago when I played this live but not now.

It's one of the reasons I'm looking forward to ESO so much. I can group, and have to for certain dungeons and probably for PvP, but for the most part I can run around soloing doing whatever the hell I want, just like everyone else is doing, and jump in and help others and have others help me without having to be in an actual group splitting loot and all that. You know throughout both betas I never once actually grouped with anyone, and yet I did quests and killed mobs with other players all the time, almost as often as soloing.

On a more serious note, that Kickstarter fund can buy a lot of crack.









On a even more serious note.....Vanguard 2.0 Please w/ sufficient budget and not rushed out the door please.

Stay golden bro

you can solo in eq, and not just the solo classes, if you really want to just hop on for a little bit and kill at your leisure theres nothing stopping that. I solod my war to 42 here on p99 no issues.

was it as fast, reliable, or safe as a necro or druid no it wasn't but It was doable, faster than grouping would have been.

the biggest thing about games that promote group group group is that they want to have a good community not a nice little community over here and a bunch of soloers who don't care just don't screw with me, and it does nothing but cause strife.

Sounds like you enjoy the modern mmo experience. You can probably still solo in Pantheon by doing less challenging things. Like soloing blues.

I do, I really do. I guess now that I'm older I see games in a whole different way: I'm not at all serious about them, not at all interested in being a hardcore gamer or raider, and really just want to enjoy myself with others in a large world. It doesn't become my life (I will never, ever schedule my life around MMO raid times or anything like that) and I don't play them to make friends or be social. There's not too many other players my age to be social with anyway.

I've had enough of easy theme park games where everyone can solo everything but raids. I like to heal and be counted upon to be a vital group member. The social interactions I have in groups in Classic EQ blow any other game out of the water. We all need eachother to get by and thats a great way to make lasting bonds.

See I've never once formed a last bond over a videogame. The entire idea is alien to me. Videogames are where I go to get away from the world, including friends and family. I'm not saying I don't make friendly acquaintances in MMOs but I don't form bonds or actual friendships. I actually prefer to keep real life out of MMOs, not knowing a person's real name or anything. Once real life creeps into a game immersion and illusion are lost for me, and that avatar I'm killing undead with is now no longer Legolas Drizt the elf archer but Jack Thompson the 19 year old kid from St. Louis Missouri.

(and yes I don't like to be reminded that I'm playing games with kids [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I know I am but so long as real life never invades the game I can maintain the illusion)
