Stanos posted:Maybe a dumb question but did you stop using Grip of Ro and switch to the AA? I liked having the heal reflect on Ro but seems easier to just Blessing on inc then throw out a different debuff. I've been using the AA version almost exclusively for years. Casting during gem downtime is so good compared to the small difference in total debuffing. I'll use the ice -atk debuff, hit Blessing of Ro during gem downtime, then off to casting useful spells like NSW, Remote or Kolos. For mobs in normal exp groups, I don't even use the ice debuff since they die in about 30 seconds. But if I'm boxing or moloing, I'll use it.

Are there enough players in this game to where you can easily find groups, especially in the lower level? The size of the population is the only thing that concerns me about playing this game.

At low levels you're much better off just moloing (mercenary + soloing), boxing, or getting easily power levelled by some kind goon. At later levels when it becomes more necessary (seems to be around 85+), I'd say the majority of players are at this point, including goons. I haven't done any grouping yet at 88, but around 90+ I'll probably start trying to leech onto some goon activities.

When I played the original, as a cleric, grouping was an absolute must. I rerolled another cleric. So they made it so that everyone can solo? Also, is the player housing instanced? Or is it in the persistent world like player houses in Ultima Online?

There are still classes that solo better than others but for the most part you can solo your way to 100. It won't always be easy or fast but at least its possible now. Just be prepared to take a lot of poo poo for rolling a cleric since people are 'lol mercs' and don't realize that clerics are pretty drat good nowadays utility wise.

Coming back to the Auction Tunnel after 10+ years... I remember roaming Northern Ro trying to find Rahotep to loot his weapon. He rarely spawned, and I never found him. I'm such a nerd.

Having UO style houses all over the world would be pretty cool though, and given how gigantic EQ's world is it should be doable, as long as players could completely turn off showing houses in the world as they travel. Imagine putting up your own small hut in the most remote corner of the Karanas.

You can go inside other people's houses and guild halls by default. Although I think you can restrict that to certain people in the permissions menu. Having houses in regular zones would be fun, although it would have to be carefully managed so some joker can't just block off a popular camp or a zone line wirh his house.

The size of the population is the only thing that concerns me about playing this game. To answer this question more thoroughly - there are enough goons around that don't box or only box two accounts that you can find a group periodically. However, I strongly suggest that you plan on the majority of your gameplay involving boxing multiple characters. Finding a group outside of the goons is virtually impossible even at 90+. Pretty much everyone treats EQ like it's Dragon Age, effectively, instead of an MMORPG.

Hello testgoons and others. Pardon my intrusion, but if any of you played on the Mac server(and were an officer in <What>) and feel like dropping by once a week or two, we've had over 20 in our channel at times lately. Down to just me and Sketched wearing the tag anymore. Longer shot: if your <What> officer was on a throwaway account, I'd be happy to do the work for you! Apologies if this has already been posted about, Happy EverQuesting!

I loved all the additions and refinements made to the game, and it definitely looks worthwhile to play, especially it being free (kinda). I just wish Sony would put everyone on 1 sever, or only a few. Seems the world is definitely large enough to sustain the whole player base.

They could probably cut it down to 5-6 servers now without any trouble. EQ still has quite a few players. Like I said, problem is just that most treat it like a single player RPG nowadays and run the entire party themselves. It works, but it's a really shallow version of EQ.

So are any of the anniversary raids going to be able to be completed on Test? I figured maybe 11/12, but it looks like definitely not 13/14? A real shame, because my necro sure would like an Enhanced Minion XVI earring. God knows what amazing things the 14th anniversary even has to offer as a reward. edit: If anyone is on test... did the 2h buff affect the ROF cultural 2hander?

I love the unintentional massive buff to swarming that NPC melee fix brought. Buff pausing additions are amazing. Fabled items worth it: If you're melee go get an elem planes pet weapon. They're not good to use past 80, but they're fun. If you're below 80, the pet weapon's dps shits all over any other possible weapon. Anniversary mission from Ro gives a guaranteed reward with a targeted clicky shrink on it. 11th-13th anniversary group missions in PoK all have extremely nice rewards - multiple great augs, EM earring, Leadership AAs The open world MG raid in DSH gets you that robot illusion I run around in Fabled Plane of Time - no idea if any of the loot's useful, but it's the only Fabled stuff goons didn't kill last year, so I'd like to do it just for completion's sake. Non-anniversary related question - Tanked a spur of the moment Clankwrench raid late last night with various General chat people and was approached by some people from other non-Strontium/Haven guilds about a new raid alliance with them. I'm supposed to talk with em more tonight, but I wanted to see if goons were even interested in tooling around in raids first. It'd be non mandatory, one or two nights a week, just for fun. Most likely 91+ unless you're a healer. Bonus points if we kill something Strontium can't kill yet

Wow, awesome patch changes. I always chill in PoK, so it's going to be nice to have buffs on all the time. I'll check if my ZlizUI interface is broken in a few hours and upload a patch if necessary. In other random news, I rolled a whole new box team, consisting of SK, Druid, Magician and Enchanter. All shorties! Twinked the SK to high hell but I'm going to abstain from PL'ing as level "manually". I think you get a much greater experience with your classes by doing so, at least once in a while.
