Classic Everquest Community? I think not!

It seems that at lower levels people are very nice and helpful. Generally speaking, because I've had a number of eyebrow raising experiences with twinks [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] All in all, I've had nothing but good groups the past couple of days.

What is your class/level Braveguard?

[Braveguard]

I just started up my signature paladin. I got to level 9. I'll probably just keep playing him now. Maybe go back to the druid for a change every now and again.

I started back last week, fairly casual with my playing time because of Work and RL responsiblities.

But this server....so far, sucks for grouping. Try to find a group for Orcs in EC, nothing, Try to find a group for Blackburrow , nothing...everyone is trying to solo.

Im not a twink, i Don't have +55 HP rings and full class armor, I cant solo this crap. Yet getting a group is totally impossible. I almost want to reroll a cleric or druid so at least I can get groups.

I just want to jump in and say how nice people have been. Two friends of mine were straight up given flowing black robes in najena. I was given one as well by a guildmember.

I think people have been super nice!

Regnon, my advice to you is as follows...

Take the initiative and start groups yourself. Don't think you need twink gear to get groups, you don't. You can't sit back and expect things to work out, be pro-active. Send tells to people in your level range and get some groups together.

[Cyph]

Bingo on what Ponden said. I don't care if someone is a twink or not in my group. If you want to group, send out a /ooc or /shout or a direct /tell to a group member. Always works for me.

I just logged in to play an hour and i have to agree the tunnel seems shitty now. Never seen so much people. Never had this much trouble getting buffs to solo.

Progression Server - A progression server has been asked to be launched for quite some time. When we did the polls last year, the Mayong 51/50 server was chosen as the front runner and a progression server was chosen as a runner-up. The Mayong launched and had a great turnout but we are ready to turn a new page with that server and move onto the next best thing. After popular demand and much feedback by you, we believe a time-locked progression server is the best one to launch next. So we're discussing the best time to launch and best roll out plan to unlock each expansion so that content is maximized and accomplished and balanced so that you are not rushed nor left behind.

Scheduling for a Progression Server - We are currently all hands into development on our House of Thule expansion (launching October 12, 2010) and we are giving it as much attention as needed to ensure a great launch. Focusing on a progression server launch will have to come after the House of Thule, where as a schedule will be determined at that time. We have a time frame in our minds that makes sense to us and with our schedule but we will hold off on announcing that time frame until after a successful expansion release.

What this a p99 wannabe live server? Would be interesting if they actually brought it back to origanal with patch by patch release date x2 speed, so example, kunark would be within 6month of lock instead of 1 year.

Thanks for that informative post Ronas. I think a Progression Server, in it's truest form, will only work if it is designed like how P99 is, back to Classic. If its just the landmass of the original EQ release, but with the rules of current EQ, then I don't see the point returning. That said, I'll be keeping my eye on this. I wonder how it will work with EQ Next?

The last progression servers were horrible.
