Bahanahab posted:Which is why I am confused on how you think the phinny xp is 'heavenly' compared to permanent double xp of the test server. Thus, I figured it had to be a different server do to test being able to level a lot faster than phinny. the 85-105 game is def more than one hour a level. the 101-105 game especially.

Avenged posted:So I haven't played this game in forever (was high end raiding from luclin through OoW). I'm looking to come back, and am interested in getting back into the raid scene. I mostly played a Paladin, but also have experience as a warrior. I enjoyed the paladin more. I'm probably going to be starting from scratch. What servers are populated, and do paladins serve any kind of good raid role anymore? Not interested in progression servers at all. If you want to play non-progression EQ and aren't interested in P99 and actually want to play the game in its current state, and you don't mind paying for it. Welcome to the club ! EQ is actually a very fun game if you try to seperate in your mind what you experienced in OOW from what the game is now. I would suggest Luclin, or FV, depending on your preference. I play on test, because it is free and I don't feel the pressure that I would if I was paying to play this 18 year old elf simulator. Remember that the cap is 105, and that 90-105 is absolute hell.. The raids are cool, some of the new lore is cool, the weapons are sweet.

Okay I am ready to get off of test. I don't own TBM(or TDS, or CoTF), and am not a gold member. I wanted to buy a heroic berserker and join an active server, but I started looking at the costs of everything. It would be 35 for the heroic, 15 for gold (10 if I bought a krono), and 30 for TBM. For me, that is far too much money to spend on EQ all at once. Does anyone have any ideas where I could cut the cost? I don't think I would be able to level 1-85 all alone.. especially with the rates of a normal server--I will just get bored and quit tbh. Thoughts?

solved the issue. Was able to acquire an account with a heroic slot tbm and a month of playtime for 30 dollars. Anyone on CT wanna play? Or recommend me a cool server with lots of people? gay for gacha fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Mar 20, 2016 |

FrostyPox posted:Thanks for the tip. I'm a glutton for punishment so I think I'll stick with the Erudite SK for now and just hope I can avoid roving.... uh, I guess literally every other race in the game! There are a couple of people on test doing exactly what you are. Playing through the game one expansion at a time. It's really neat. Be sure to use the plane of knowledge though, or else you will burn out and quit. Also if you really want an experience, don't wear any defiant armor.

FrostyPox posted:I think I'm OK for now, I'm content slaughtering snakes and babby skeletons with my rusty scythe and wandering around aimlessly till I find zones full of mobs that rip my head off. But thanks for the offer! My character's name is Ibiamen (thanks, random name generator!) I played on test for the last three or four years. I think it is viable depending on what you are expecting out of the game. Items really don't have value, and there is no economy because every just test copies from FV. With that said people raid on test server, and there are a ton of people who have been playing there since the beginning of time who want to help people out and build the community up. However, I think that if you end up falling in love with the game and decide you want to raid and do current stuff, and feel like test doesn't scratch your itch, then yeah you will probably have to go to another server. The free expansions and gold membership made it worth it for me for a while though, but I have for the most part been the guy that likes to do quests and explore and do epics.

Ninkobei posted:Test is full of "testcopies" at the higher end. You will end up remaking as one most likely if you value your sanity. The game is hard enough without taking every possible advantage.. especially as a tank. I play p99 pretty actively too, and it is def not the same game. I prefer EQ live to the classic experience in its current forms. Give me a progression server in PoP and move towards CoTF then count me in.

FrostyPox posted:I'm contemplating rolling on Finny or whatever the progression server is if I decide to subscribe, which, if I do it, is something I think I'll do well before I hit 80 with this character, anyway. Even if I were to roll on a normal server, I'm not, like, married to trying to play by going through the old zones and I'll do whatever is the current method of playing through the game from 1 to cap. I probably won't get into high end raiding since I'm primarily into FFXIV, but I kinda enjoy the exploration and discovery in this game, with NPCs that you have to talk to to get quests from (I mean, like, walk up to them and hail them, no big glowing "!" involved) and then try to figure out where exactly to go next, etc., etc. The current way to play the game sadly starts at around 80-90. Once you are there it is pretty cool, but I think most people would lose interest at that range if they weren't helplessly chained to this game for whatever reason. Mgant posted:Is there a lot of difference between the rate of exp you get on the test server compared to the live servers? EXP on test is double. You can also /testbuff to start at level 25 with some gear.

FrostyPox posted:I will try that, then. Honestly, Phinigel has the goon presence. I would estimate there are three of us goons playing on regular live servers. I am on Cazic Thule because the population is extremely high, and they have an open raid force. I know one guy is in the top guild on Xegony getting those phat pixels, and I think there are two people on Luclin?

So I was planning on showing an old friend what EQ raids are like and letting him play on one of my accounts this weekend, does anyone want to join? Maybe do some old world sky or PoT or something on test? I would do it Cazic, but it would just be easier to do everything on test for $$ sake.

There's too much goddamn content if you can believe it 83 you can do Feerott: The Dream for some solid exp with merc. HoT Grounds could be decent too.

I think that the speed is too fast. I really wanted to play on Phinny for GoD. To me everything from GoD to DODH is the best part of EQ. But I want to enjoy and take my time, but the way its currently set up I will feel forced to rush through before the next expansion opens up. I don't know what I will do, but I will def play at Omens of War. It's weird but I don't want to miss the opportunity to play depths of darkhallows again with strangers from the internet. I hope enough people quit after GoD so I can just buy an account and play OOW and DODH.

I would love to know what went on in the testing and development phases of some of the cool raids. Did the devs say: "Oh yeah make sure these gently caress everyone up if they make a mistake" or was it more like: " these would be sweet right here"

Am I too late to join in on Quarm? I have the next 13 days off of work and would really love to do some OOW. Would I have to poopsock to get to level 70 as a warrior? Hows the EXP and the 51-65 grouping?

New expansion looks like poo poo. I'll be buying it anyway. I wish they would up the heroic level cap to like 95 or 100, so that more new players could start playing that content. I think it's so weird that the devs don't make a clear pathway to high level high AA.

darkhand posted:It's a whole lot easier now to level but They're basically stuck because they don't have dev time to help new people and also come out with a half assed expansion. the exp from 90 on is a crawl. I meant that they should speed that up so that it's easier to cap out on non-tlp servers
