Wife's making me quit

[brokenspirit]

Well tonight was the straw that broke the camels back.

I'm pretty much a new player to EQ having only played a bit back in 2004. I was bored about a month ago and tried EQ2 which I found stupid. I found p1999 and jumped in.

I went with a Halfling druid because I wanted to eventually be able to travel around easy. the first couple of weeks in Misty Thicket were interesting and I didn't have to much trouble reaching level 9. I went to EC at level 9 and have spent about a week trying to hit level 10, and now I've spent this last week trying to hit level 11.

As I continued to play I continued to die more frequently. These deaths were followed by a cursing spree because they represented about an hour of time lost.

I died 3 times tonight in EC on surprise griffin attack from behind, and the other two times were against blues. Both times my roots failed and I was unable to reroot or get away. The Blues were hitting for max damage almost every time.

I'v tried grouping but after hours of killing orcs I seem to gain very little XP. and its not easy to get in a group.

My wife was worried about my mental health and wanted me to quit. I think she's right.

I love what you guys have built here and classic everquest is alot of fun. I just don't have to nerve for it.
