I grouped pretty often as a 50-60 druid on live, Kunark and Velious. Mostly as a healer! There was a lot more time to med back then. Nobody has time to stop and smell the roses these days... sad.

Droods are awesome, it's just there are only like two on the server that play their class well. Everyone else just makes one cuz ports.

Druids don't belong in XP groups maybe I'm shallow but 40+ I would never, under any circumstances invite a druid or wizard to my group. Everything they do is gimped and can be accomplished 10x better by a proper class O.o

I will take a druid or wizzy who is fun to group with over an elitist min/maxer who excludes people from groups because of some class spreadsheet of efficiency nonsense any day.

Class efficiency doesn't make EQ any more fun so if that is your criteria for forming groups I'm guessing your groups are pretty dull. I would argue the opposite. Some of the most fun is making a less optimal group work well despite the "on-paper" inefficiencies.

Been thinking about Nibbz but more so the zone's his type caters to and what I did the first time on P99.

City of Mist. The first time I made a new character on P99 I went to CoM because that is where everyone appeared to be. I quickly realized there are about 4 camps where ppl sit and pull and quickly it gets pretty mindless. The trains can be pretty epic and exposes bad players fairly quickly. Drama ensues.

What pulled me here? Yes the xp was ok but it was the feeling of safety and progression, not really the quality of people.

What kept me here from 40-49? Honestly I blame myself, a lack of creativity and exploration. And the damn no effort xp.

My 2nd toon I made a cleric and vowed to try new things. At 40 I thought hmmm where is somewhere I have never leveled? I went to Tower of Frozen Shadow and met some new people. They seemed different then people in CoM. Words I would use are Focused, Skilled, Knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and wanted me to succeed in there.

Now I am level 47 and can say the Tower has been worth the effort, I plan on returning to get level 51 there and key 7 and master key. Btw the loot is pretty good here too ;-) at least for cleric, can't speak for other classes.

Ok my big point is this ... places like CoM attract certain types of people, definitely Nibbz. Make friends and go to less populated areas. Do you really want to have to explain to your children that you spent your 40s in CoM? Guess the zone Nibbz is going to head to next ... yup Karnor's Castle ... CoM 2.0

I for one will be spending my 50s in Howling Stones. A zone Nibbz would never dare enter or be invited to join.

Try new things P99 community, don't get sucked into CoM and KC ;-) you will enjoy the journey and challenge and especially meet some cool people in the process.

Nibbz I suggest you do the following
- Go AFK less or announce AFK
- Understand that people matter more then xp. The more people you piss off the less your odds of doing fun dungeons will be. You want to make friends if you want epic help.
- Take some responsibility and improve. We are counting on you!

The stereotypical spots to lvl in p99 1-60:

1.) Noob zone
2.) West commons
3.) Oasis of Maar
4.) Mistmoore
5.) City of Mist
6.) Karnors Castle

Such a wonderful monotony

Okay, Nibbz used to be in my guild. He constantly AFKs, never announces it, loot whores, and has started a lot of arguments and conflicts with members of our guild. He wants back in but that isn't happening because of his attitude towards people.

It doesn't come down to his experience with the game, we taught him as much as we could, gave him money, gave him items, I played personal taxi for him while he was leveling to port range. His general attitude about how the game should be played is his problem.

It is always sad for me to see someone who used to be a member of the guild being singled out like this, but I do hope in the future he can repair some of his reputation and clear his name by addressing the issues and getting an attitude adjustment.

There were much worse people back in the day, all these new hipster cucks have no idea about the 2009-2012 days.

Piemur · #9 10-13-2016, 12:09 PM

I will add though, he is a nice guy. he just has his moments. Being new to EQ, coming from other games is a hard adjustment when the entire community behaves in a different way. Maybe he is used to WoW communities.
