Check out these SS of the EQ2 Expansion

I strongly suggest going to a server with a higher population. Finding groups or people to do anything with on Highkeep has been a problem for people. The server merges should fix that though.

There are a lot of instances that have good loot and decent exp. Most people run around doing instances with groups. It's a lot more fun than sitting in one spot grinding exp. They've made it so that most instances don't require you to do a quest to enter. For the other instances usually only one person has to have completed the access quest.

For those that are 55+ that really want to just grind exp go for the giants in PoF. This is not an instance so this camp often has people there. There's room for two good groups though. If it is full do the raptors near the giant camp.

If you want to be a tank I highly suggest going Berserker. They can take hits like a guardian, do more damage than any other tank class, and no class comes close to holding aggro like this one does. Put a dirge and a berserker and a group and play with rampage. Good stuff lol... You'll know what I mean when you try it.

Right now the best healers in the game are Fury's. They can do more DPS than any other healer while still being able to heal as much as any other. I still like my Templar though hehe...

If you'd like to get into raiding later I'd suggest going Brigand over Swashbuckler. They are in much higher demand. They have awesome debuffs plus a spell that makes them invulnerable for a while. So when everyone runs out of range to avoid the AoE the Brigand stays in to tear shit up.

So soloing isn't an option in EQ2 I take it...

:ugh:

eh? You can solo to all the way to 50+ if you really want to. Solo mobs all over the place. If youre trying to solo a healer though, probably be best to make it a fury.

I logged on Saturday and was so confuzzled, I might have to start over just so I know where the quests came from. Anyway, I don't think I like my Warlock.

Cool. I am really enjoying what I have seen today. I have heard folks on the server talking about Lavastorm is coming and they have a bunch of dickheads on there but I am sure it couldn't be any worse than any other server.

Any class can solo to 60. It's just that some classes will take a hell of a lot longer than others. In EQ2 you regen power much quicker when you're not engaged. So the faster you can kill mobs the faster you're going to be ready for the next one.

As a Templar soloing isn't really an option. I can take mobs that many other classes can't simply because of heavy armor and reactive heals. The problem is that it takes so damn long to kill anything because of our low DPS. So if you want to solo go with a high DPS class. And yes, as a healer soloing Furys' are the best.

I havent really found *my* class yet. I'm currently leveling a Conjurer on HK. I also have a Beserker. I dont want to heal, so those are out, I didnt really like the start out of a Swashbuckler...

Lewej is the caster and Crystul is the warrior, send me tells, I'm lonely.

No easy button or simple macro'ing in EQ2. Which is a bummer, because I had some major killer scripts in WOW that enabled a lot of the tedium in the game to be removed.

I'm at a point where I just despise soloing. I'll log versus spending a few hours soloing in EQ or EQ2.

I'm hoping the server merge helps, because groups are tough to come by for my Ranger. I may swap to my Warden full time and see if I can get more contacts and NT people as usual groupmates.

I don't even use macros in wow. All that I'm looking for is the familiar cosmos interface which shows health, xp etc, or even an interface that looks like wow. Anyone know of anything close?

Try eq2interface.com

You absolutely want to get EQ2Maps.

I got Twisker on Highkeep but it will probably be another 5 years before he is half ass worth a damn and should coincide with everyone bolting for EQ3... :rofl:

In some guild where they're so nice it makes me wonder if they're pod people trying to gain my trust.

What! You come to MY server and join ANOTHER guild!

I didn't intend to stay in it really, I'm just dicking around since I'm only 15.

Darcler · Post by **Darcler** » Tue Feb 14, 2006 11:57 pm

I tried /whoing your guild and you and/or Kahar are never on...at least on names I recognize.
Fishsticks, on the other hand, never logs off. Ever.

Back on Blackburrow our original server. Theoretically one of the strongest populations now with the oggok merger. Bruiser got his original name back too, which is nice.

Rasp 38 Bruiser
Thaleia 38 Defiler
Blackburrow

Bank boxes, house furniture and jewelry at cost and mentoring (gives you an xp bonus) if any nameless vet ends up playing on BB. Just send a tell.

Bruiser Assassin Defiler trio levelling up on Blackburrow. We are destroying stuff, but a bard would cap the whole thing off. Kalec if you want to transfer to Blackburrow its free, takes 3 minutes and youre around our level. Think this is the last day its free though. We rock
