65 rogue 20ish AAs with J1 tank merc here, was getting my rear end handed to me by dark blues in The Steppes. Should I stick to The Hole or what?

The steppes has really strong hitting high HP mobs. I would hit up DSH at that level, you can probably solo some crows, and beg for farm groups, the exp wont seem so good but once you turn in the tasks it's worth it.

So I'm torn, assuming I stick with this (which I likely will until GW2). I'm nostalgic for my bard, but it seems we have a crap load of them, same with the monk. Nobody is playing beastlord though, are they total poo poo or do they have group and solo value?

Well uh I'm not going to tell you to NOT roll a bard, but it's going to be hard to help a bard out if there are like 9 of us in the guild already, also I wouldn't transfer a bard over that doesn't have a decent amount of AA and is level <70

So we should start doing some older world raids once a week, to hold peoples interest in the game. We would need some clerics, some tank bros, but people could get some really fancy gear, from some of them. We could brainstorm this week about what we would want to do, while everyone levels their characters up, and gets AA so that maybe next Wednesday we could take on some cool content.

Been having too much fun all weekend.

Besides when grinding AA in a group with other goons, when there's no group I can find, I've decided to explore old dungeons that have light blue mobs (so I get exp plus to see something new).

So far I've explored Greig's End, Veskar, and Acrylia Caverns. The first two were fun, but Acrylia is horrible. And some of the zones to go through to get there looked really...dumb. But I never played during Luclin, so at least I'm seeing why people didn't like it.

But yeah, even the lovely zone was still fun. Got lots more dungeons to explore :D

Groups start happening more in your mid 60's, but you also have to be willing to form a group. Dragon scale hills, is a pretty big mid 60's lower 80'zone, I think yesterday it had something like 95 people in it.

Is there a server with a large Asian population? As in, people in Asia (because I live there)? I started this up last night, tried three different servers. Every single one had lag. The kind of lag where I cast my spell and there's the...what's happening moment, followed by you being dead. I played Mith Marr back in the day and still have my old necro, but there's no way in hell I could kill anything with this lag.

Is it also possible it could be my router? I don't know how they work with EQ or anything, as back then I was on 56k and in America.
Try Antonius Bayle, it's the euro server, and is prob less laggy than a US one? But I had 3 japanese guys in my guild on Tunare and they didn't complain so..

You guys think with 200 AA I could unlock at 70 and just grind to 80, with like 80:20 exp:AA? I'm going on 9 days of being level 70 in the hole, and it's starting to get boring.

Agreed. For reference, my AA per hour peaked at lvl 80 and actually stayed pretty much constant from there on - about 15 AA per hour (or per lesson). In The Hole, my maximum was around 9-10 per hour, even at lvl 70. Just get the basic necessities and move on, you'll have more fun.

Im getting with the 6th aniversary potion + lesson, about 14.5 AA an hour. Or 7.5 AA in 30 minutes. Which is why I don't want to leave for someplace that gives me much less even though if i'm super fed up with the hole. I know i'm not going to play some other game,so I am not scared of getting bored and quitting, but I would like to see some HoT content. Maybe I should play my low level berserker with some of the low level goons.

Well I guess I'll be transferring off of Luclin and joining you guys on the server wide channel. Sucks I wasted that money to get to Luclin, but honestly I came to gently caress around with goons and call each other shitlords and make each other mad, you know normal goon fun in any other goon game, because if I wanted a guild that didn't let me do that I had one over on Tunare, and they gave away a lot of plat. So it's been fun bros, see you on serverwide.

Now I am torn. I played the Free warrior for a few hours today. I can't believe how much I have forgotten and just how enjoyable and low stress it really was.

Back to my query however, with long term play in mind, would a shammy or bard be my best bet? I remember the fun bard twists and pulling used to be on small scale (see ldon) but I then remember how boring raids were for them. I then recall just how manditory a raid shaman was and how powerful.

From the leveling standpoint am I right to think both will power through pretty fast with the "MOLO" idea?

Just wondering before I pull the trigger for paying and start really levelling up :)

Don't pick a bard. There are like 6 70+ bards in the guild who I don't see quitting in a while, and not to mention the casual bros in their 30's. Bards don't really scale well after two, and that means you would be making people feel super left out, or YOU would be feeling super left out, after the other bards get picked before you! Now with that said, there are a bunch of really fun classes that maybe you should take a look at, I like Rangers, necros, and druids. I also like Beast lords, but I know other people don't. If you end up picking a bard anyway, we aren't bros.

I've been raiding on Test as well. The problem is that we just don't have enough actual people, and many raids you cannot box effectively. We always seem to be short of tanks, healers or both. I am basically our only enchanter, and there is only so much that one can do with 12 SKs, 20 magicians and gently caress all else.

Yeah we had to cancel the raid last Wednesday because no one logged on. What guild are you in?

I really wish that there could be some sort of all guilds raid rotation. Like um Looking for raid in WoW.. Or that guilds wouldn't take themselves so loving seriously... and not let other people in. It should be a general chat announcement when guilds can't find more

I have 7 characters in the upper 80s that are still in the dead-as-dodo Goon guild, but my main, a 100 enchanter, is in Infinty of Light - that is not a typo. It is just frustrating as heck trying to do even NToV. I played an enchanter because they are a lot of fun, versatile, little played and add excellent caster ADPS to magicians and wizards and such, but they are not much in demand anymore. I am basically the enchanter class leader based on the fact that I am just about the only one who plays regularly. I wish that I had been a cleric, because they are a lot more fun than they used to be and very much needed, but I am not one of those people that knows how and where to level a character from 1-100 in a week. We have a similar shortage of warriors despite enough SKs to start our own dread army. You have to love a game that makes people not want to play warriors and clerics while making them vital for late-game raiding.

Also, when did it become obligatory that everyone play a mage? Seriously, it is ridiculous the number of mages in this game now. I think that it's an editorial on low-effort classes that solo well.

What nights do y'all raid? If you know how to get me from 1-100 in a week I"ll tank some raids for you guys.

been dicking around on test for the past two days. It's so interesting, I really do love that P99 and TLE old school stuff, but I can't say I love it any more or less than some of the newer content as well. In fact, because I now have more responsibility than I did years ago, I can't commit to anything real anymore. Something about the current state of live, and how even raid guilds are pretty whatever on if you show up or not (Granted no one is really raiding successfully on test) makes it very pleasant for the three months out of the year I log in.

The new Progression server with restricted boxing launches on 9th December and will be called Phinigel.

The boxing restriction is one client per machine, so they've said if you want to box you'll need to do it old school.

One other very interesting change is full instancing of raid targets with (in addition to the regular spawn) an account wide 6.5 day lockout.

All expansions will unlock after 90 days after the current one unlocks. No votes or targets/quests needed for the unlock.

Sounds good to me - think I'll be playing a bard and a box druid.

Full details of the server here,

https://www.everquest.com/news/phinigel-true-box-progression-server-dec-9-2015

They have now split the TDP population three ways... While I think that it's very cool, and will probably find myself rolling up a warrior to level through with everyone on the 9th. I can't expect that to last very long. I am more interested in how they will probably end up merging rage fire and lockjaw, and leaving this one on it's own.

Is eqlive on test a fan run server, or are you actually talking about the test server ran by dbg/sony?

it's the test server. I play it because I can't rationalize paying for this game, but to me having all the expansions and game access for free allows me to have a lot of fun. I often go do old raids, or old quests. Getting Epics is still fun for me. I also play on Project99 but EQlive has something to offer me. Some of the newer expansions are also really fun.
