Howdy folks

Just checking in to see how folks are doing with the game.

Getting into groups seems to be the challenge these days. I find myself soloing an awful lot. Anyone else having this problem?

Also, is anyone looking for help with questing and the like? Let me know in game, maybe we can do some stuff together.

Actually got into a really good Khegar's End group last night. For those that don't know, KE is one of the dungeons and is a mine that tunnels right into a mountain.

The dungeons in this game give me a huge EQ warm and fuzzy. No instancing here! There are no zone lines though, so you have to be on your A game.

Class abilities complement other classes through weaknesses imposed by certain abilities. I could get into more detail here, but I'd only be repeating what is currently posted on any VG site. I will say this, they were right when they said easy to play, hard to master. When fighting in a group it quickly becomes evident if the person is just learning their class or if they've had experience. Character and item buyers beware!

Groups are starting to pick up now as we're hitting the level where grouping is more feasible than soloing. You can still solo, and quite well I might add, but it pales in comparison to a good group heading into a dungeon. Levels are not doled out as fast as they are in WoW, but then again I've come to not even care. The game is too much fun, with FAR too much to do to actually concern yourself with grinding.

If adventuring gets boring after awhile, then go crafting or harvesting, if that gets tedious, do diplomacy. By the time you finish your diplomacy, you'll be itching to go out and fight again. There's always something to do, and not all of it requires you to put your character in danger, so if you're looking after the kids or doing chores (aka: folding laundry) the diplomacy and crafting bit is more schedule friendly.

Folks, this game is awesome, pure and simple. Believe me now, or believe me 3 months from now when everyone starts coming in droves. It is the true balance of EQ and WoW, taking the best of both worlds, and making it HUGE. I feel like I did back when I first played EQ all over again and it's AWESOME!!
