What class to play while working from home?

Lol that's a whole new level of work EQ.

I did exactly what you're looking to do - leveled my wizard all the way up by mostly soloing while I worked. In earlier levels you can just root and nuke, and then once you reach mid-levels you can start quad kiting.

Works well cause you can get some exp, then minimize EQ while you med.

Is wiz good at soloing? and the thing is is that im on RED are they good with pvp?

You definitely want a peggy cloak, jboots and a see invis item as soon as you can get them. Wizards work best nuking from above if possible as they're quite vulnerable... work that Z axis [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Can't remember what I killed sub 25 but I do remember hitting up the sister isle in OOT, the bard in Feerrot, Highkeep guards, spectres etc. She's a dark elf, probably better in hindsight not to completely trash Freeport faction but it was profitable.

That's the thing about red, you want to make bank as you level a bit more than on blue to cover spell costs which come around a bit quicker - especially now.

I play at work and have been leveling a necro. I randomly have assholes coming up to my cube to ask me questions.

Thankfully I have dual monitors, and have my second monitor set up so people walking by my cube can't see it unless they walk into my cube. I then have my equipment set up where I have a KVM switch which toggles control between my work PC and my laptop (which is hidden under my desk) and my aforementioned monitor. That way my mouse+keyboard+second monitor are controlling my laptop, and hitting the button on the KVM changes my mouse+keyboard+second monitor to my work desktop.

So I play off an on all day at work, if anyone comes to talk to me in my cube I hit the mouse 4 button which is bound to feign death, and then under my desk my knee hits the button on my KVM switch which switches my second monitor to my work desktop. It's flawless and nobody is none the wiser. I do a lot of AFK camps to level.

Long story short, try a necro.

If someone found out....[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That flies on live, used to see people deep in the Hole doing that. Do people get away with it here?

If a mob aggros me during an AFK then that's the NPC's fault not mine. Other than that, not much devs can do to prevent an AFK unless they re-code the server to allow for AFK-tagged PC's to not become aggroable tbh. And I can't see Rogean banning AFKS.

Anyway, I dont even have a mage now and this was a very long time ago.

Interesting, so I could just FD my necro at a camp and let the pet kill all the pops and repops? I thought those kinds of practices (along with botting) were forbidden.

I don't think its forbidden, but I have heard of people frowning upon it, and sometimes going out of there way to kill an afk mage. Other than that, isn't afking like that part of classic? Also, why does the player have to get aggro, doesn't pets aggro here? Can't you just set your pet to guard in the middle of a camp and afk your guy in a more safe area?

As far as I knew, this isn't allowed. I've seen GM's come out and boot AFK mages lvling on good camps. But I would guess it only happens if someone comes along who wants the camp and finds the mage and then /petitions. If your on a camp that isn't popular then you can probably get away with it.
