Hey guys..

I want to give EverQuest a try

I'm 38 years old I always loved these old classic games its basicly all I play because I find these old pixel/sprites just so nostalgic and warm feeling....

Anyway back then I was playing wow and other games but now I want to try EQ...

Got me thinking which one is best for me?

I like a server where there is alot of people so not a dead server but I also like to quest and level by my self alot, maybe do a dungeon or 2 alone but I also want to do it with groups later too..

In other words I don't want to hit a wall because I can't find players for a certain quest/dungeon that I need to do in order to progress but no one wants to help, k want to avoid this..

Should I go for live servers ?

And use mercanary? I heard you can get a Merc and it'll help you alot of the game?

Or those timesd servers?

No idea if it has mercs and if solo friendly...

Then we also got the new EverQuest Legends..

But I checked server status a little bit ago and all servers are Low population so I don't think that game is doing that well???

What you think?

Maybe try free to play first before paying? But if I like it I want to continue so where should I start?

Hey all,

Been having an itch for EQ for a while. Came back with EQL, absolutly devoured the content (all classes are decked out and currently lvl 50. Not much to do).

I'm waiting for Kunark to come out and have a craving to do the content i was doing 20 years ago. I stopped with PoP. I'm not looking to pay for another subscription on top of EQL, but i'd like to solo all the content up to Quarm in PoTime.

So the goal is to see all the content i missed out on, but i want as little grind as possible. Would love to do Velious fully, Luclin and PoP. Every boss, every raid, everything i missed on when i used to play.

I created a Necromancer on test server so i have free AA's, free spells directly when leveling up, journeyman pet ect.

I just hit lvl 80 and things are slowing down dramatically for leveling, it takes hours to level (and i have a hard time reaching the Hotzone quests and understanding how it all works. Often time i need to travel a LOT just to go kill 5 mobs hidden somewhere deep in a dungeon).

I can't yet solo all of Velious (tried temple of veeshan the other day and god damn some monsters and completly magic immune, i need to stand back and wait 30mins while healing my pet to kill Lord Vymm...annoying).

All that to say, what am I missing out on? What quality of life from 20 years ago (i bought some gear in the bazaar, lvl 80 req. Have a mount and some plat)? Is there an easy way to level? Is there stuff i should do? High level mage damage shield makes it so even though i 1 shot mob with 110k damage shields, i get no exp for it. Once again, am i missing on obvious things or does reaching lvl 100 really take weeks?

I am completly shameless, and dont care for any tips and tricks, however cheesy they may be. I'm just an old 40 year old dude coming back to clear everything up to PoTime solo on test server.

Thanks all in advance :)

Hi all,

I'm a new player coming from Everquest Legends. I played there for a few weeks, and it made me want to try the live game. After doing some research I've settled on Frostreaver for my server. Currently I'm a level 7 Ranger and working my way through Qeynos hills grinding mobs and selling their drops to vendors to buy skill scrolls and armor. Plan on starting Blackburrow soon.

Is there anything else I should be doing or focusing on? I am assuming this TLP server is similar to earlier everquest expansions where grinding mobs and exploring is the main focus, not quests?

Thanks!

Hey guys, could you help me decide on my trio to return to the game with. Lvling from scratch.

1. War/sham/ranger

2. Pal/sham/ranger or wizard.

Not going to play sk. I've done it a million times and want something different. Not to mention every single person in my guild has an SK so it's pointless to play it.

That said, these are the classes I'm somewhat interested in. I also have always been interested in druid but never played one.

This new custom server, it's been up a month now, MegaMercs on EQEmulator is designed for easier play. It's not considered a solo server, but mods and QoL to help out a lot, including boxing and "gentle" MQ allowed. The mercs have been overhauled and won't ever lose confidence and run away on you. There is a custom "undead" merc merchant to hire a skellie healer or tank, which exceeds expectations. Mechanics have been adjusted so you can also have a merc in a raid instance. There is an in-game clicky to spawn the skellie merchant on the fly, so you can switch as needed.

Bots are also enabled for those who like using them, with a spawn limit of 5 per player toon. There has been adjustments to the default settings to the bots to deal with some of their issues.

There are several beneficial NPC's in the hub (PoK) to help your game play. All zones have an equal ZEM of 33%.
