Sad how empty Velious is

I haven't used it in awhile, but afaik even lfg variables don't seem to work anymore (e.g. /who all LFG 45 55 cleric). That example used to return all clerics within the range of 45 and 55 who were LFG, but for some reason it quit working sometime during kunark. Made building groups a whole lot easier and faster imo.

Also, this server used to have global OOC, and it was glorious. The server population back then was only like 600 people during peak hours, so a significantly smaller population, but I like the option of being able to monitor a server wide channel. You could of course turn it off as well. I'm still amazed no one has come forward with logs of the old Andain and Danth erotica that used to get spammed in global OOC. Some of that stuff was absolute gold. I lost all my logs prior to ~2012 when a hard drive shit out on me.

I used lfg tool on live during the pop era and it was great. You could be someplace out of the way and still find people for your grp without going through 3-12 /who all class levellow levelhigh

Lookin for a static cleric for 59-60 grind, double charm grp!

Man, those orcs are way tougher than they need to be.

What level/mana pool range are you guys quadding the giants? Loot/efficiency still blows, but it seems like it can be decent for semi-afk soloing if pulled to decently flat and clear area.

Giant fort's nice since there are 8 same-ish level giants (and the captain, who you just harmony). If you have a lumi staff they're not bad 46-51 or 49-51 with no staff.

People were hyping velious for years before release here, then they were sick of it after like 3 months. It's now been how long? 3 years?

seems like Velks should be perma camped like Seb, its even right next to a portal. I think its really just a testament to how disgustingly overpowered Seb loot is for the difficulty.

Sorta, I've always felt that people are primarily in Sebilis for EXP and any loot was a bonus. Excluding King camp. Sebilis is better EXP so people gravitate there..

I think there's also a strong pull for a popular zone remaining the most popular. People will naturally first go where they're most likely to find a group. I kinda see this like asking why isn't Thurgadin the auction hub rather than EC? Cause it's always been EC..

The real problem is all the camps are jammed up with Shaman / Enchanter solo or duo's. Even in Seb half the place is usually camped by about 6 people.

Classic EQ involves traveling to zones, finding a group and making friends.

So in other words just wonder around aimlessly from overland to overland in Velious just to say fuck it and travel to Kunark for a group in KC, Seb ect because ultimately that's where the groups tend to happen.

Velious was always a flawed expansion rushed out quickly to meet the demands of the high end raiders. Kunark is chill as fuck and the best out of the two.
