Don’t roll an enchanter as first class no matter what you do any decision is better. They are the most powerful class and most easy to gently caress up due to inexperience. People on TLPs aren’t patient for newbies, especially ones that expect you to lockdown 5 mobs a pull while maintaining a charm pet with minimal if any breaks for 4 hour sessions.

God drat I love this game. It’s amazing how every few years I can get hopelessly addicted for like a month or two and then one day I just lose all interest and can’t even force myself to play anymore.

Pretty glad I didn't roll on Selos on launch. That AA % post bonus is awful for a 1 month server. I can't see a lot of re rolling when new class/races come out. Maybe DGB will iron out some of the kinks but it's DGB so who knows..

I’m down for any role We've got a bunch of people in the discord that are playing on Mangler, but we are all split up into a couple guilds mostly depending on if you are EST or PST for raid times. Should you roll there depends on if you want to start in classic from scratch or not. I personally find it fun. Most of our guildchat is going to be in the discord server.

I’m down for any role Classic is for masochists and nostalgia junkies. All that time you spent to get your SK to 94, will get you to around level 12 in classic. It's a long-haul grind at a glacial pace and that's just how crotchety old mid-life malcontents like it. You'll think I'm being facetious for the sake of making a post on an online forum, but I'm really not. EQ is a completely different game in that era. We've got a pile of the quality of life stuff from future expansions, and the XP isn't half as bad as Phinigel was, but it's nothing like what Live servers are like. Hell, I'm like 34 on my SK and I'm still wearing full Banded Armor and I'm doing pretty good for myself. I just want to give you a sense of what you'd be signing up for. If you're down for that, by all means come hang out with goons on Mangler and enjoy the slower, simpler EQ. But if you're looking to have a similar experience to what you had on Live with your SK, you won't find it there.

The other big thing not mentioned is there are people currently playing on mangler. So you can group and raid etc. Just like all of us nostalgia addicts remember. On live that's hard to do. So for me the big draw is seeing Commons tunnel full. Getting groups etc.

I have all 95 level characters and it’s very boring . I play so little I don’t know anybody on FV and I’m not invested enough to find a new guild and all that . Put me in coach

The first couple weeks on Mangler have been a blast. I managed to get my monk to 46 even though I didn't really play much the last week of the exp bonus. Getting groups has been really easy and for the most part have been a lot of fun. Sure there is some of the classic EQ grind but there are some serious QOL improvements since classic in 1999 that make it a lot less of a punch to the gut.

I got my SK/Shm to 30 alongside a friend's Mag/Dru and like a dumb junkie who can't get "a little bit" back on the snake, I picked up two more laptops and PL'd a Brd/Cle to level range and we've been obliterating SolB all weekend. I probably could have easily been 50 if I had focused on one character and jumped into a guild. We just made our own and have been tooling around leisurely. This is my 5th TLP, I'm in no rush.

I thought back in the day it would still put you at top of hate list + a couple points, potentially lowering your overall hate. Wasn't sure if that was ever fixed.

On a regular server, what class would be best to heroic boost if you just wanted to snoop around old zones without worrying too much? I had a 52ish druid back in vanilla through PoP but loaned my account to a friend and it got mostly stripped. For over a decade now I've been thinking of leveling up a rogue for SoS exploration, but if its a level 85 just walking around City of Mist, Sebilis, Akhevan Ruins, Siren's Grotto, Guk, etc are there any better choices? I don't care about farming rares, just walking around checking out the dated graphics, exploring places I was scared to go solo, and putting "faces" to the stories I've read over the years. I've heard just go bard for selo's, pet class for trivial soloing, monk or necro for feign death, rogue for SoS if you are careful about conning for the exceptions, and so on. I kind of prefer rogue because the Safehouse forum was awesome back in the day, but didn't get mine over 25 before heading off to DAOC. Open to ideas. Or can pretty much any 85 handle it?

Any 85 could handle it, but some would be more convenient than others. Bard or Monk would be the easiest by far.

I kind of prefer rogue because the Safehouse forum was awesome back in the day, but didn't get mine over 25 before heading off to DAOC. Open to ideas. Or can pretty much any 85 handle it? I'm a bit biased, but I would choose a Monk for the instant feign death and quick melee DPS. Monks have instant feign death (you probably remember monks pulling from the old days), which allows you to zip around any dungeon and just FD flop stuff off you, and the mobs you do run into, you can tear to shreds with their fast melee attack. They also have fast runspeed AAs (or maybe everyone gets that these days, or can't remember), blink (like Mages in WoW), and other fun stuff. When I returned in 2009, I chose a Monk, and have been loving it ever since, it's so good for exploring and grinding old stuff. Some other good alternative are: * Bard - they also have a form of instant feign death (Fading Memories AA), super run speed, invisibility, charm, tracking, pick lock, and more tricks * Ranger - superior tracking makes it fun hunting old rares (like popping into an old dungeon and seeing which rares are up), fast run speed, spells, invisibility, fade AA at high levels * Shadow Knight - good FD, invis, spells, okay dps, very strong tank Frankly I'm leaning strongly towards the Bard if I were in your place; the runspeed, tracking, invisibility, charm and AA fade spell will make it a breeze. Downside is very weak melee dps, it might be a chore for when you "have" to fight. Also consider you might get a little hooked and want to level up and visit stronger content. Shadow Knight would be an excellent partner with a Shaman box if you want to go that way, but you could use any of the classes I mentioned if you add mercenaries for tanking and healing. I've rolled Monk+Shaman with tank+healer merc for many years. I wouldn't choose Rogue, since as soon as SoS/sneak/hide breaks, and you've used Escape, you're kinda boned and have to fight. Also no spells or tracking. I played Rogue for 2 years back in Classic/Kunark/Velious and would to this day prefer Monk for the feign death.

Thanks, some good ideas so I will lean bard or monk. I do like SK but if I get hooked again I'll probably try to twink up my troll SK from vanilla so I'll save him for later.
