    I enjoy the pace as well but still don't enjoy having to use every GCD using a skill. This is mostly evident tanking. If you don't use every GCD, you will lose agro if you have more than 2 mobs. Doesn't impact a healer or dps as much. When I saw TP and Mana regen, I was hoping it would...

    That's valid as long as dps are willing to take a few hits in the face by shit trash mobs vs freaking out. So not really sure who is going to be "sucking it up".

    Yes, 2handed. Basically easier agro but you will take more damage. Not really sure how the WAR vs the PLD. As a Glad you have to toggle between targets to keep agro, but can survive larger pulls... or teach people soft targeting/paint by numbers marking.

    The exp is slower on your other jobs but that is a good thing ~ if you want to be a swiss army knife, you are going to earn it with time invested. Using leves and other city quests wisely will help. If you find yourself in grind mode, mobs spawn relatively fast ~ find a set of mobs that drop...

    Considering your game time, i'm sure you can pick either and it will be a week/2 worth of time difference. Enjoy the flexibility and do both.

    One more quick add - I'll be using my leves for crafting... you know what to make and can stock up rather quickly, then hand in 5-10 at a time with a little repeat running. Don't forget to try and hit HQ as the leves will reward you with 200% more xp / money (huge).

    I typically do crafting much later in the game when things are generally easier and you have money to front overhead costs. With how gathering and crafted items compete significantly, I'm seriously thinking of leveling these aspects prior to adventurer (once 20ish). The quest and time it takes...

    So far spent about an hour shouting for a Carpenter to make me Elm Lumber. Yes, I could probably just level Carpenter myself but was hoping to use a community approach / small social experiment. Are people playing these days so conditioned to solo play it is hard for them to connect?

    My better half and I will be playing. Probably going to ignore a lot of the non-storyline quests since I don't really enjoy fedexing or gather/kill X. Doing Hunt Logs was a little more interesting since you had to find the mobs without much guidance sometimes. Mixing leveling with...

    I didn't think GLD was that bad. Combined with a few other classes you do get a lot of 120-180 CDs to use but I managed. Is MRD decent at mitigation? Do they get anything like the Shield Throw skill GLDs have? I messed with MRD a bit and found its dps to be great in the beginning but didn't...

    Can anyone provide clarity / thoughts on the benefits of having alts vs just doing all jobs on one character? The only thing I can clearly see at the moment are the extra attribute points you can spend to boost stats a minor amount.

    Speaking of group xp, I didn't get far enough to establish if there are areas (non dungeon) where group mobs roam. Would be nice to have open world group content in an MMO again.

    Honestly I level'd a few without the city quest line(s) and it wasn't all that bad. I focused on my Hunts and just enjoyed killing shit, fucking around with combat, attempting to kill stuff I shouldn't etc... basically not having to worry about killing/collecting X mob + traveling to NPCs was...

    Depending what you are doing, you really don't need to hit 50% of the skills available. Unless changed, If you're looking for min/maxing...Shaman requires a ridiculous amount of hitting different things at different times. Probably best to go Inquis or if your just soloing, Druid/Justicar use...

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    Yep. Behavior changes when people have to apply social aspects which improve their playtime. When someone can't find a group, they have options to overcome this... a) get on the group list... most good groups will have one and usually call on people when spots open... b) sit next to that...

    YL is smart. While the content of EQC might be close to a classic experience, it cannot use the IP to the "purest" extent or will face lawsuit. Now what exactly is "pure" is very vague so if done correctly, a user would really not see a difference. It's sad SOE would not move forward with a...

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    From the posts and live streaming, it's hard to say how fast progress is being made nor am I tech savvy enough to understand the scope of what they are trying to do. Shit, for all we know this could be 4-5 jaded fucks trolling people that have an unhealthy obsession with Everquest nostalgia...
