Why do so many people solo on P99?

This topic like many always makes me all nostalgic about early eq. I once joined a PUG that was forming at ec tunnel, and once we were full (probably with like 3 tanks two wizards and a druid as healer or some totally random configuration) we *RAN* all the way through nro, oasis, sro, innothule and feerrott to get to CT, which only one person in the group even knew about yet and the whole idea was to show the rest of the group the zone and see if we could all level there.

I was in a group that took the boat from BB to TD to FV to finally make it to LOIO for some nice and crappy outdoor zone xp. There were 50+ other people in the zone camping every square inch of it lol

Trying to find a group can be hard. Even if you can get good experience, a lot of times it won't be worth the effort or trying to find one, or you'll wander across the universe to join a group that falls apart as soon as you get there. With solo'ing, not only is the experience consistent, it's usually more fun too. Some camps can be a real challenge to solo, and others will afford you a lot of AFK time.

But also, I typically make a lot more $$$ solo'ing than I do grouping. You gotta' remember your bags fill up in the first hour of joining a group, and you spend the next several hours not making money because of this. With solo'ing it's like you are constantly generating real money for the most part.

This guy thinks MMORPGs should be MM haha.

No one tell this guy the games is called EverQuest, but the primary means of progression is not questing...

And because of one Questing Legend™, a man of the people, a true hero, dared quest to the zenith of EverQuest... exp questing was banned for 30 days for all elves under the sun.

Three warriors can make pretty good progress without support. And can help catch eachother up if they get desynced in levels.

Now obviously at a basic level...it really is more complex however this helps.

Problem 1)
Everyone demands an ideal group in an ideal spot
#2
They don't help lowbies and newbs into their own bracket and then complain

Anxiety and narcissism.

Share and compromise are the solutions to all your problems. Learn to play EQ like Jesus and you will not only find heaven on earth, also within EQ

Follow the 10 commandments in ur gaming sessions too.

Yeah that is true. My first real char that I leveled past 20 was a barbarian warrior, and I only grouped with a friend of mine who also played a barb warrior, and we basically just duo'ed everything and never really died unless there was more than 1 mob at a time haha. Downtime took forever but we didn't know any better and it was just really fun for some reason.
