[citation][nom]Raidur[/nom]Screw what trash EQ has been turned into.Classic Everquest Emulation Project 1999 FTW! The way the game was MEANT to be played.[/citation]
sorry but vennerant (sp) was still in control of eq development through luclin, and probably had most of the pop stuff in the idea phase.
everquest didnt really get bad till... id say till darkhollow
i have never been one to get into a high level guild and play at the high end of the game... i group with people i knew in real life, and made no real connections in the game for some reason... for me the game was great till aa became mandatory and you had to stop leveling and grind aa because you would be useless without it. and the constant expansion formula of teir 1 and 2 of that expansion was what teir 3 and 4 were in the last one, (besides raid gear) was one of the things that killed the game experiance for me, haveing to play though missions and that crap to get to get keyed the next area... this si the kind of thing that you expected from raid areas in everquest, not normal group content...
its very easy to burn out with this game... not even funny.
[citation][nom]SOE Hater[/nom]I loved this game back in the day, but Sony forced you to group to get decent gear and everyone left the game when WOW came out.I might be interested to see how the game has progressed, but I have a suspicion it will be so outdated and craptacular it wont hold my interest long. Plus, I just hate Sony[/citation]
they removed the forced group aspect of the game. that was the worst part when i was reasonabley high level in Secrets of Faydwer, i at one point waited over 5 hours to get into a group... never got one, and i was the best non raid melee dps at the time... here is my suggestion for you
play either a mage, or a shadowknight, both of those classes are the best solo you can get in the game... sk requires gear, which should be easy to get through level 70, mage is easily FAR better at soloing than the sk, and FAR more enjoyable to play too.
with the mage, at level 87 i was able to tank names that hit in the 10-12000 range, with my shadowknight, very well geared at level 87 i couldn't even last 3 rounds, to boot i was under 1kdps, while as a mage, you can not only tank better (pets) you also are hard pressed to go under 7000dps... and on monsters that have 250000 to 2000000hp... that is a GREAT asset to have.
here. for any one interested, here is how you will level EVERY character from level 1-60, about the end of the f2p usefulness (you need aa to be a viable player passed level 60, and f2p barely give you enough to be decent at level 65)
1-10 play the tutorial, trust me on that, you will need it if you have been gone any amount of time.
10-20 Blightfire Moors, easily the best place to get exp and relearn parts of the game.
for 20-30, i suggest going to the other side of the moors, or going Goru'kar Mesa, the easy crap
at 31 you can go to city of mist, but really, you want to be level 35 to make sure you can kill everything in the entrance... and you should stay there till about level 50, you can go higher but most of the crap there will be light blue and give crap exp, and with a 15 to 30 min respawn timer.... its a bit of a grind.
at 50, i suggest you head over to a luclin zone, Acrylia Caverns, the problem with luclin is that the hp and ac on the mobs is way higher than old world (original game and 2 expansions) mobs, however if you have decent gear, and are sk, or mage, you should deal enough dmg to make this a VERY good exp zone, have someone show you how to go deeper into the zone as its a bit hidden. do this till level 55, than go full on aa till you max out on what f2p can get.
once you max out and cant get more, go to griegs end, and kill there till you cant level any more off the mobs.
now this is a bit harsh, but really you can only in content through the first 3 expansions because you are in all honesty useless, i suggest that you band together with other f2p gamers, and hit up Vex Thal, its the old raid zone for luclin... that will be fun and a chalange, and could take you about 6 months to level everyone up band together, and take it down... if you chose to pay 5$, you can level up to 70... after than you are useless again.
