Hello all!! I will be coming to the epoa community hopefully by August 29th or so. Well i use to play eq and eq2 and just stoped playing my eq2 account for the 3rd time in on a four year account and said im done. My question is there alot of soloing and xp grinding groups, and quest also? Just wandering because the stuff i been reading I am so excited when i get my PS2 and EQOA. Just wanted to say im coming and very excited.

Unlike the new RPG's out there on everquest you probley wont solo a single level after lvl 7 unless you are doing a hunt and gather quest.. I think thats why people who play this game cant switch to a new RPG, but you will need a party to get high levels fast and idk how easy it is to get a party.. Its kind of like FFXI.. you sit there for 3hours sometimes just talking to your friends then you logg off sad you didnt get anything done.. THEN sometimes soon as you register for a group or you wont even be seeking one and someone will ask you if you need a group.. It all depends on wich class is needed most [Its usually tank] or Caster if there are power lvl'rs out there

oh cool thanks... I really don't care how fast Ill level I just want to have some fun. Everquest one on the PC I played for 4 years and felt like it was out growing me and I didn't like that. Everquest 2 played for about 4 years also and to be honest its great but I was just done with leveling everytime new expansions came out every 12 months lol. Now EQOA what i been reading is level 60 and for some reason it reminds me of the old eq days, im not saying that eqoa will be like eq for the pc but will be a fresh and happier start. I'm in college full time and work two jobs so when i get sometime everyday Ill be playing eqoa and it will be awesome lol!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for your reply

Well I dont know about Smoke. But theres plentyofsoling stuff with boon to help you level. If you reg for a group and then go kill light to dark blue mobs while you wait. Or if you really wanna group put one together yourself.
It is really easy to find a group IMO even if no healers grab a bard and your set hit a camp of dark blues to yellows and your on your way. You can even do pick claws till 25 if you don't mind the boredom of killing greens. But there are many ways to level and get groups I never sit and wait for someone to pick me up on reg. If you need anyhelp when you get on hit me up on Castle light wolf

Yeah smoke with boon leveling has been alot easier. But with the population we need it for now. Thats where the off the wall groups come in.

I seen 3 lvl 22-25 wizzy's pulling at myrms the other day. Seen a 38 tank using a bard to heal at cyclops. Just putting out there with boon you can get a red mobs xp off of a dark blue no problem so it has helped with the lack of natural group options.

As for starting a Necro great choice. Healers are prolly more needed low level but top end Necros are a must for any type of raid.

I made a Mage and am at LvL 42 it is only about a month old but I tend to play alot and usually help alot. There are other people I played with low level who are almost 60. So yes with boon you can level way faster but only if you choose to.

Overall the game still has appeal to me I have even dusted off some old accounts and brought back some of my old toons. Although when I quit I sold all my gear on auction so most of my toons are naked but just need to go shopping.

Well hope to see you on send me a in game mail when you get on.

Yeah there is like Auction you can visit it from anywere while doing anything.. Like if 1 person in the group goes AFK then you can check auctions lol

But when you buy something it goes to your bank account so you have to pick it up..

But boon is xp bonus .. like 10x EXP or something like that

Lets say you kill a snake at lvl 5 and get 1pink on your exp bar.

Kill that same snake with Boon on at lvl 5 and you might get close to gaining lvl 6.. (I dont know much about boon because I quit both times right before it came out) It's like they release it the day i leave..

The "boon" is a potion that multiplies your experience gained by 4... :)

You can buy it at any starting town for 1000 tunar. (I believe)
