What chance does a non-competitive player have on this server?

OP, I dunno if you'd be able to solo JBoots at 35 anyway. The AC mob you need to kill is level 41.

The South Ro (and other rumoured versions [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]) are a fair bit lower.

The camp is also more of a pain in the ass. In my opinion.

If you're trying to get yourself JBoots, the OOT camp is the best option.

The one in SRO is 9 levels lower than the one in OOT.

Just buy SoW pots for those levels and save yourself the headache.

Spend 2k on sow pots,20pots will last you a long time
Jboots have their use but sow pots are so much better.

Honestly you can gear really well, even raid gear just by earning lots of plat. Some people even do that just by tunnel flipping and earning plat that way, assuming you don’t play a class capable of farming. Things like Ring 9, scout rolls, HoT groups all make gearing to a decent level totally possible even for a casual player, just by means of luck.

Also the other thing to note here. While raiding guilds can always use more wizards your average dungeon crawl group doesn’t really (except in limited circumstances where Evac would be super critical or otherwise a port is needed in order to physically leave the zone without crawling through it.

I get that OP likes wizards and that’s fine to have one that you play, but it seems the primary goal here is to join dungeon groups and exp with people. If so, then OP should consider rolling an alt that would be useful to a group. Sure we can argue about how groups should be less “min/max” and willing to take people who aren’t as useful (which does happen in pugs in places like kc but not as much in a group forming to go to a specific place) but that’s just not the world we live in. So if the primary goal is “I want to play eq with people in dungeon groups” instead of “I have to play a wizard” then roll an alt that’s useful to a dungeon group

I just wish I could find acceptance as a wizard, that's all.

If I finally make it into a regular dungeon group, but I was required to be a shadow knight or something, am I really accepted as a person?

I'll say that Rogue is probably the one other class that does interest me, if only the GMs would fix the faction situation.

Sorry, I had to LOL. IRL you are neither a shadowknight nor a wizard. You can be accepted as a person regardless of your in-game toon race/class/deity, brother. Cmon, jack.

Ill give it to you simple: you have a self-sabotaging attitude. Stinkin thinkin will leave you wallowing in a pile of you know what. So buck up and keep a positive mental attitude. You'll find a way.

Gotta say I agree 100%. What's with the woe is me attitude? If you are experiencing depression, playing Everquest, especially on P99 is not going to help at all. It's a 24 year old game being emulated and playable for free. There's nothing that hasn't been done. If you really wanna play a wizard, do it. Find a dark blue mob on a 6:40 timer and nuke it and med and do something else. You'll level up to max eventually. Any raid guild would love a 60 wizard, and there are a ton of great, friendly guiilds. Fires of Heaven is my guild, and I raid rarely. When I do, I am welcome and the people are fantastic and friendly. There's no caste system or anything, everyone is treated fairly and with respect.

There's also Pals, and The Drift for newer folks, welcoming and don't tolerate nonsence. Loramin gave great advice though, go outside and forget the game. It's not going anywhere. Self care > respect from randoms on an old, emulated game.

If Wizards were more group-friendly, I'd main one.

Quadding is fun though. Have you tried it?

You make up all the fun during Raids too. My Necro is too boring during Raids. I get excited when someone needs mana...

Wizards can also essentially sit at Hammer Hill and make cash virtually AFK. So it's not all bad.
