Imagine taking the time and effort to create an account for a video game's forum just to write posts like this.

Imagine the mentality that gets some happiness or fulfilment from acting this way.

1. I didn't create an account just for that.

2. Its purpose is not for happiness or fulfillment.

4. Return to this in 10 years and reflect.

3. You're welcome.

Nah. You must enjoy this on some level. You're not getting paid to do it.

Anything that has either good exp or good loot is poopsocked 24-7. These groups all seem insular and circle jerk each other or something. I was in high keep the other day and they had an open spot or two and I had os charmed and asked if they had a spot. No replies. half an hour later they add someone else, and then another after that.


It's getting to the point I start getting labeled an asshole and just rule lawyering and pulling whatever I want.

i even changed my real life schedule so I could play more in the off hours, like 2-6 AM. Virtually is nothing has changed except the places with garbage exp/loot are a little less camped, but if they are camped they are usually off in bumfuck egypt and and giant pain in and the ass to go elsewhere when you find even that garbage exp/loot location camped, like at 4 AM 2 bards kiting all the aviaks worth killing at KFC. Anything with good exp/loot is out of the question as its camped 24/7, except maybe for town guards.
I've been lucky enough to have had a different experience, a positive one, despite being somewhat of a moody person. For many popular zones, such as Unrest, the best spots are camped 24/7 but often the group leaders will run a list so that they can keep on exp-ing with little to no down time as and when group members leave.

I would strongly suggest, then, that you visit zones like unrest and ask if there are any camps and request your name be put on a list for when group members leave. I would also say wit and humor are very much in favour when it comes to bonding with people online and becoming known as a complainer is the kiss of death.

I had to wait 3 hours to get into a prime exp spot. Then I sat at that spot for around 19 hours and had to coach a bunch of 40 year old adults how to play nice, alpha loot, stop melleing you need to sit and regen your mana u fool!

Also had to constantly keep people on an imaginary list and fill slots as needed.

What do you do when you have a list of 6 people and none of them can tank and your tank leaves? You have to reach out and replace. Was no easy task. Only to catch a level or 2 for a full Saturday /played

Gonna be a long Haul on this server, imagine Still playing everquest in 2023?

Some of us have been playing this project for over 10 years...

Its not a race, steady as she goes do what you can. Last week every night after work I couldn't find a group but I would do simple things for a few hours solo no xp, faction, travel work on some shitty quests,

Immerse yourself you will find something to do promise you

my best friend is playing his first character and If eelt he pain of teaching this game.

It's nice that it's bringing new people into the fold. but it's a lot to learn. Gotta constantly remind him not to be standing when idle, looting all the time, wasting mana on nukes etc. Just gotta remember how long it's taken myself to get the understanding I have.

They are not obligated to invite you. Stop being entitled.

You are sounding like a terrible human being. Not getting responded to or invited to groups does not warrant shitty behavior in kind.

You are likely taking this 20 year old elf simulator too seriously. It is probably best that you quit.

I'm not having those issues on Teal. Some places are crowded sure, but I always find a group, or get on a list or find a solo spot.
