Why do so many people solo on P99?

[Nagoya]

I solo for xp.
Still happy to ask for a port, a SoW, a transfer to my 62nd alt to Arleigh or some shit.
The MM aspect of the MMORPG is still important and why I don't play Skyrim.
It's nice to be part of a world. This is the nostalgia kick.

But, we're 40+ with kids now lol, i can't maintain a friendlist and people to group with for 6 hours a day.

Also I've got like 250kpp worth of twink stuff easy to recycle.

this is not 1999, this is just project 1999.

Solo, because this game isn't like the others that play like a piano. While other games reward you for pressing buttons real fast, the best players on p99 are pressing as few as possible.

I'm going to gather up gems like this one day and publish a "Philosophers of EverQuest" collection.

Yeah WoW got really bad during TBC/WotLk when they just kept adding new shit to classes. Especially if you wanted to be responsive at pvp, you needed not only everything hotkeyed, but also macros made as well

The worst ever was I had ~50 hotkeys. All the letters around wasd, all the letters up to 2 spots away from those (distance proportional to frequency of that hotkey use), then shift + all those then control + all those again. And I had to be fluid on it

EQ it’s so easy to have everything bound

I'm not really sure what to make of that. Am I the best mage on the server because I use an assist and petattack 1 button maco ?

The game already sits at like 7 apm so like , what are these good players doing to go from 7 to 4

Best mage has their coth button set to F3. Target and summon a non anchor group member in a button press.

This is a Massively Mulitplayer Online Role Playing. Why would spend a significant amount of time playing Muliplayer game all by yourself. If you want to play by yourself, why not just play a Single Player game? Like Skyrim, or Morrowind, or really any single player modern, or old game that will have a much better Single Player experience than a Mulitplayer game.

They do everyone thing solo, outside of eq, so its just easier for them.

/LFG on

because life is boring without other people

even though sometimes other people suck

[Tunabros]

the whole point of eq is to level to 60 as quick as possible and team up with 80 people

to kill dragons

I have RL responsibilities so I rarely can sit and play for an hour without having to afk. This doesn't lend itself to grouping.
