Hah, yep. Hibernia was my old realm and Mentalist was the only class I ever played, so I wanted to start in familiar territory. I'm blown away by how much I forgot. The first 2 weeks I was a total noob just wandering around.

To play off your point though, I'm surprised how much I enjoy playing melee. I know they're gimped on this server, but man Champions are hella fun. Insta debuffs and you get to swing big ass large weapons. Really enjoying the hybrid melee. Feels like a *fun* more playable version of the SK on EQ.

I might start a Midgard toon because I never played there (started in Alb but quickly switched to Hib). But that 12 hour timer... gotta pick your moments when switching realms.

No I totally get your reasoning for playing Hib! It was my main realm back in the day where I mained a Bard. Bard is still my favorite class in any MMO I've played...but Healer will have to do since my static party unanimously chose midgard.

I have also thought about rolling another Bard but yeah, that 12hr timer makes it tougher to pull off. Id hate to play my hib bard and have my static party want to play and I'm locked out..

If you decide to try midgard out tho hit me up!

I decided to delete all my Alb characters yesterday so I could play my Mid characters without waiting 12 hours.

Poor Alb is a disorganized mess right now.

Isn't this server one of those ones you can get 50 in a day or something?

No. I've been playing every day since launch and I'm only 39.

They do have "Collection Tasks" added in to make the leveling experience more enjoyable though.

Hrm. think i read on their forums about groups hitting 50 in less than a day played. Maybe bomber groups or something?

Yeah, there are bomber groups. They're popular. But they're not going to get you 50 in one day.

I'm sure there were people level 50 in one day, but it was probably Hibs exploiting the Animist being so strong in this patch.

No pet limit, and only one LoS check.

It can be, but it can also be a giant PITA. Way too many hotkeys and often way too many responsibilities in RVR.

Agreed.

Healer and Mezzer?

No thanks. I already have a full time job.
