I hate this game sometimes.

Died in TT, no clue where my corpse is. Whoever thought of making a zone full of see invis, faster than SOW frogs, in a zone where you cant see 20 feet in front of you, is a dick.

Siets ,if you are around later today, if you could hop on Xeriak, Ill give you some cash to summon my corpse.

You don't happen to have a coffin or two in your bank do you?

I can go make a level 1 DE to buy one, pretty sure I'm KOS in Neriak on all my characters.

It's dumb they only sell them in Neriak, but you can buy the smaller ones(for the level 57 spell) in Paineel.

Ok well that makes things easier.

Later on hopefully I can get a evac to EJ from FV, or I can meet you at the TT/Swamp of No hope zone line.

Thanks man.

You around at all today, Siets?

Any character on the account will keep the rezz timer moving. It sucks, I agree, and is one of the reasons why hardcore players make new accounts for alts.

Where'd you die? I have a cleric if you're not in Seb or something scary.

Haha what zone

Enchanter and Magician were my favorite classes in vanilla EQ. Magician gets the coolest pets and is great for solo but Enchanter gets all the cool utility spells.

Half of why I play EQ is just to wander around and see the sights so illusions are great for that. Plus doing things like turning into the Kelethin elevator buttons so newbies can't figure out how to get up, hahaha. (Does that count as griefing against 1999 rules or anything? Used to do the same thing with treeform and blocking off the Felwithe entrance)

For what it's worth, I feel your pain. Sat in a Halls of Testing raid last night putting tells in for quest plate, only to watch the same couple warriors get drops because they're the hardcore players these days. As casual scum, I'm not in a rush to get Best in Slot, but it's easy to feel like you're lagging behind the other guys in Velious.

I used to run the goon guild on p99 but I've been out of comission for a long time. Now with Velious and a stable lifestyle I'm going to try to pick things back up. I'd love to hear who/if anyone is playing on red or interested, as I'm trying to get a leveling team off the ground to do kunark and other content.

To kind of put it in perspective, getting characters to 5-6 isn't really going to be that hard. You might lose one or two in the process, but with the XP boost you can jump right back on the wagon. The big issue is going to be what you do once you hit that 6-8 plateau and need to travel somewhere real to continue leveling. Where do you go first? How long does it take to get there in case something goes wrong? If you have to gate home how bad is that? And how long can you stay in place before having to travel again?

Those are the big questions and the answers have to be tempered with expectation of how much competition you might have. This is why pet classes are going to be so good early, because a group of pet classes can stay at full health while chain pulling and quickly outlevel an area without having the same level of danger as someone who has to constantly be getting hit and watching their backs.

Getting from 6 to 12/14 and getting bind is the really tough part and however we can manage it safely and quickly is probably the most important consideration with regards to a start.

One thing I've been wanting to do for awhile that'd be a fun goon event is get a bunch of people together and all roll level 1 halflings. Then we all set out from the Shire misty thicket on our quest to not-mordor. As we travel we Oregon Trail it and see what poo poo happens to who, who dies where and if anybody survives to the end.

Would probably be even more fun on Red or Discord than on Blue.

^ 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.

So who has that <SLAMDUNKATRON> tag on red? I want an invite

99% sure it was not possible. Bind wound got interrupted if you did anything, got hit, moved, etc. I remember trying to figure out ways to make it work on my rogue. Even using throwing weapons would make it fail.

Nope. I meant to try that quest, but ended up leveling myself out of my 30s so quickly I didn't get a chance.

moolchaba posted:

You can make exp on that quest till level 60. I went back to test at 59 and it took me 20 greater lightstones to get 1%. It was one of best spots to farm plat for my rogue and warrior until reaching mid 50s. Hill giants and Highland Lions too.
