As far as epics go, paying for everything sounds extremely boring and lame. Part of the fun with epics is the feeling of accomplishment having done the whole quest. Not only the great feeling when you finally finish all the grindy solo parts, but also having people come together to help you with the portions that you need multiple groups (or at least a group) to take down. That’s what EQ is all about.

If you’re paying for your entire epic you might as well go play WoW or some other “single player MMO”. Farming plat solo and then buying your epic and avoiding all interaction with others…seems like you’re missing the point of what makes EQ great

Not everyone has a guild or reliable friends they can call on. I'm sure most folks if given the choice would earn their epic the original way. I'm sure not everyone can relate but those memories of asking for help with things only to be met with crickets rings strong with a lot of us.

If my epic were buyable (I'm not sure if it is) I'd certainly consider it.

You aren’t wrong. Some people see this as an economics problem; others want to enjoy it just as you’ve said. I prefer your route myself.

Yeah I mean I’m not judging people for soloing. I’ve soloed some characters almost entirely. But then I ask myself why am I playing on P99 if that’s what I want to do? If I want to solo the whole way I could play way easier and honestly more “fun” MMOs on the solo side - although soloing Is still boring overall but at least it’s more engaging in other MMOs.

EQ is about that player to player interaction. Soloing everything defeats the point of playing the game.

What does one do if they can't get groups? Like if they play a wizard, or just don't have much in the way of connections at all?

While soloing I'm usually either half afk, or chatting with friends/guild chat. You don't need to be in a group to interact. Grouping is fine and fun but it's not always an option for real life

feel like instancing some raids, at least planes might make it less of a headache for gms to manage.

Despite p1999 having been around for a decade, some people are still bad at EQ.

The server is far to hospitable to newbies and bad players.

I wonder if this outlook is what led red to the promised land.

I relearned that a close group of friends you can hang out with beats everything else.

I learned 3 years takes a long time.

Which is probably the best news I've heard in the last few years.
