I've played before in the past but highest level is 22, playing as Esunah 20enc, Totenkopf 22sk, or Revelations 19 clr.

SK isn't terribly geared, I worked the market for about a month and was able to gear them up, but that was probably back in 2010 or something. I usually play past 9pm est.

I got a friend who wants to play, so I'll probably start back up again on my 40-ish enchanter.

Yeah, he's on red.

I've been wanting to play again, but I dunno to what end. I probably can't commit to a rigorous endgame raiding schedule, little motivation to hit 60 without something to do.

Personally, I think I just want to explore some zones I've never done and check out some evil things. Thankfully, as an enchanter, I can get away with that without rerolling.

^ pretty much this.

the "resistance" side doesn't understand some very simple things that empire does: there aren't a lot of good players on this server and experienced ones are always quitting. you can never create the fantasy guild of 50 elite poopsocker neckbeards. or, you can't run an everquest guild like a warcraft guild.

if they ever want to get anywhere, they have to learn that you have to take new players who just hit 50-56 or whatever and get them immersed into the game. make them want to log in. teach them the game mechanics instead of treating them like they're stupid and constantly recruit when they burn out and leave. no matter what you do, a red guild will always be a revolving door of players, but only one guild knows how to deal with this and thrives upon it (empire)

before empire (holocaust) started doing these things, they were a small elitist pvp clique who were losing the server.

This is exactly why I quit TMO after a few months. I just got tired of feeling like an outsider after months of solid grouping/raiding and talking with people on VOIP. Now that they are a dead guild I don't really feel bad for saying what I felt, but those guys were high off their asses with their completely insane 'recruitment' strategy. The ragetext raiding strategy was also obnoxious, and I felt that texts only went out at times that live-at-home-manchildren could conceivably play during.

everything's cool
So I started up a blue character, level 7 cleric. IGN: Ellipson. Couple questions:

1) Is the goon guild information in the OP still up to date? If Unknown Guild is still an active place, I wouldn't mind an invite. Had to solo to this point because the early newbie areas are a bit empty.

2) Is there a basic gearing guide for new players out there? A lot of soloing/early guides have stuff like "oh, just drop 100pp on X twink item, lol" which isn't terribly useful for someone scraping together money for spells. The linked one in the OP suggested banded as a stopgap, which works fine, but not sure about what to do for a weapon...

EDIT: Or 3) I am stupid for rolling a cleric first and should reroll something that can solo more easily.

UG isn't super active, but there are at least a few people around. I can get you an invite some time this week if you'd like. Also happy to hook you up with some starter stuff.

Cleric is fine for a first character assuming you want to group - you'll have a relatively easy time getting groups in a few more levels, and by then a weapon isn't really that important. Honestly, as a new caster the most important thing to save money for is spells.

I do want to group, but efforts to group in Crushbone have been met with "lol get out of here noob, get gear first" because of my lack of twink gear or "gently caress off" as the shorter version, hence the soloing. I'm probably going to reroll to bard or druid today.

You probably just ran into a jerk or someone getting PLed. I have never been denied a group for lack of gear. You're almost through the most boring levels in EQ and onto Oasis/Unrest levels so don't give up on your cleric yet.

Gear is almost completely meaningless for a leveling cleric who is grouping. Mana regen is the only thing that really matters much, and that's not on any reasonably available gear. And yes, someone was trolling you and it's actually pretty rare to get attitude as a grouping cleric once you're out of the early levels.

Congrats Pillow Armadillo on the sweetest SK on the server... Bone Thugz!

Next up is my 60 rogue Vandal. There are currently a few people interested in this character, one in particular that is leading the pack. But feel free to PM me if you are interested in partially acquiring a 60 rogue on blue.

The cleric, shaman, and bard are currently being used by friends in game. I'll hand them out here if that status changes.

Oh, and Pillow, just know that /who all bone does not work. I think it's broken because the character has a 4 letter name. But, it will show up if someone has you on their friends list. Enjoy!

Yo dudes this is Hexel. I got the Project 99 urge again after giving away my monk to a friend months ago. I am starting from scratch on blue as a necro because gently caress leveling 50-60 as a melee.

I leveled 1-10 in FOB and farmed up the mats and crafted my own raw silk set and bought all my bags and spells up until 20. I caught a port to WC and am sitting in EC now looking for an invite to UG whenever. I shall be around the commons areas working FP faction.

I will also accept any and all goonerosity/gear. God bless

They really have reproduced the classic EQ experience. Rampant cheating that the developers are incapable of seriously addressing.

Surprised they haven't done anything server-side yet to limit spawn info being sent to clients by radius. Its all still there for the taking just like it was in the good ole days.
