Personally I'm excited about hitting 60 and trying some solo challenge stuff, after clicking your sig and reading through that thread.

Solo challenge stuff is pretty amusing in my experience. I suspect we'll hit The Hole soon.

I've been on the server for about 3 1/2 years with some breaks and some times (like this year) with very low play time. Even with the extended Kunark timeline, I find plenty to do all the time. I think the only people running out of things to do are the most hardcore raiders.

I would have to say that starting back up is awesome. Everyone is generally nice and it can be a rewarding way to spend some free time.

Also thanks to everyone who's sow'd and buff'd me during my play over the past cpl of nights its been awesome.

BTW 13 warrior lfg pst.

Another dirty secret: Those guilds that seem to always be getting lots of bad press-- won't name names-- contain lots of swell, generous types. Even in my brief 6 months on the server, I've stopped counting the helpful.

So long as you aren't infringing on their epic-selling campaign then many are happy to throw a few plat or starter equipment your way.

I see far too many posts on this forum slamming the community here so I figured I'd post something to counter.

Let me start by saying this: If you are the kind of person who wants to spend your days farming the top end content Kunark has to offer; you might run into some kind of drama. I can't vouch for that.

BUT, if you're like me and enjoyed solo/group levelling in this game 12-13 years ago and want to re-live and re-experience the early/mid/late casual levelling game as it was back then; you're going to have fun and run into a lot of generous and kind people.

I've had nothing but positive experiences so far. Whether it has been random buffs, gifts of valuable (for a newbie) items, help with corpse runs and re-binding, or generous overpayment for simple early-game items; I've been having a blast and meeting great people at every turn.

Kudos to everyone. I've been playing here for 3 weeks now and I'm having a great time. I'd encourage anyone who loves this game to jump in and experience it here.

I would agree with you, I haven't even started playing yet but I have been casually browsing these forums for about a month now just reading about the server. I am excited to start playing the version of EQ I loved. I started when Kunark was first release and played all the way up to PoP and then quit. I recently tried playing again on the live servers only to be disappointed with being able to solo everything with Mercs and not having to look for groups and enjoy the community.

I'm looking foward to actually having to group again to get things done unlike every other game I have played since EQ.

If you have any sense stay off of the Forums. Reading the crap on here makes it sound like this is the worse server in the world. It is just the other way around. The Devs do their job a lot better than people see. It is pretty hands off and that is great. Glad to see new blood on here.

Ignore us old, grumpy turds on the forums. We are bored. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I played for over a year before I even joined the forums. My son warned me. Heh.

I group a lot with TMO. Port a lot of them. Hey they are mostly all really nice people that buff, rez, help out with hard mobs etc. I mean they do have the top mobs tied up a lot I will admit in Raids. But that is what top guilds do. Do I wish it was better, sure. But it is what it is. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There is a lot of planes gear to be had they don't even bother with. Just a few classes that you will never get a epic for until Velious comes out, and I play three of those a lot lol.

Yeah I'm not overly worried about it. Just hard not to notice all the bashing going on, and if I'm going to be playing on this server I will definetly be on the forums from time to time so whatever. I just want to enjoy my favorite MMO again.
