Decided on class.....

It was tough deciding what to play.  There's so many fun classes and different playstyles for each.  I went with Cleric.

CH rotations, here I come!

I went with cleric because they can solo undead, they are the most desired grouping class they can wear smithed armor, which for some reason, I've decided I want to make lots of, and they have a critical role in raids.

Pre-Launch guild getting srs bsns

I joined a prelaunch guild named Zurdula.  It was like..focused for uh..family guys, so more my speed then the poopsocking raiding guilds I wish I was still 22 to play in.

I made a lot of informative forum posts, and shared some spreadsheets I made about each class, and they asked me to their information officer.  That sounds serious.  I haven't had a leadership role in a guild since <War Without End>, and boy did that one suck.

I've been updating my spreadsheets as much as possible, and trying to figure out what I want to do on the new server when it drops.

My new goal is to sell banded within 3 hours of server up.  I know I can do it.  Issues I am facing:  Class and race choice.  Still can't decide.

I mean, selling banded is going to be like...fun and profitable for a few days or a week at most.  So, what do I do the other 83 days of classic?  The point of that sentence is that I don't really need to make a class/race choice based on selling banded.

I'll probably have time for one character, so I want to be one that is fun to play and not sucking at any eras of Agnarr, especially PoP.

My thoughts are "Not Paladin, Not Rogue" as a start.

Agnarr Live on May 24th!

Here we go!

May 24th is go time!  I speculate server will go up sometime after Lunch PST, or about 3PM CST.

I'll take off the 24th and 25th.  I have off that coming Monday too.

My class choice is still up in the air.  I feel like I know all the classes, so I don't really need to research.

I understand SK and Enchanter have PITA epics.  Those are both classes I'm considering.

Agnarr or Bust

I sent my friends an email asking them if we were "tarded enough to play EQ again", and sadly the answer is yes.  So here we go again.  Class choice, etc.

Agnarr will be a POP-Locked TLP, which should help the whole "I can't keep up" mentality, since everyone will catch up eventually at 65.

• Agnarr is a time-locked progression server that will start at the base game and eventually lock at Lost Dungeons of Norrath… permanently
• We will refer to this server informally as "PoP-locked" even though it will eventually include Legacy of Ykesha and Lost Dungeons of Norrath
• Expansions automatically unlock 12-weeks per expansion
• Experience rates will be the same as Ragefire and Lockjaw
• True Box server rules apply (one account per machine)
• We will have a limited store that will start with lower-tier consumables (potions & buffs), appearances, and bags – and some mounts will unlock with Luclin, but marketplace offerings will not be too powerful for each expansion's era

Game over

I quit EQ about a month ago.  The pressures of keeping up with the leveling and raiding schedule were just not compatible with my lifestyle as an IT professional, husband and father.

Old Sebillis

I spend a LOT of time in Old Sebillis.

Let me briefly discuss the zone.  Its loaded with frogloks.  Those same filthy frogloks I never got tired of slaughtering in Upper and Lower Guk.  Same froaks.  Ugly nasty little bastages.

Remember him?  Before we could even visit Sebillis, we had to kill some trash in Trakanon's Teeth.


Anyway, there's lots of camps in Seb.  Most popular camp seems to be Juggs.  High level spells drop here, and some nice items.  King is very popular because he has a Fungi Tunic drop.  Lots of mobs there.
Then there's Disco.  Disco is only good to 55 really.  Juggs will take ya to 60.

Many people think that's it.  Seb has just those 3.

There's also Crypt, which requires a rogue.  Lots of good loot, plenty to kill.  Buggs.  Some loot, lots to kill.

Jail(Ibis) and Jail(upper).

Plenty to kill.  Its a big zone.  Don't see 30 people and say "crap, we can't xp here".  There's a camp, go find it.

Why new guilds should start on Phinigal

Ok, Phinigel has instanced raiding.

This means you get to kill naggy.  Not watch one elite geared 52 SK solo him.  You get 50 of your buddies and kill him.

Some would say "But the server is already in kunark, we'll never catch up".  Bullshit.  You start now, you level for 3 weeks, then you start raiding classic.  You can even get some Open World targets at this point, since everyone is doing Kunark, and interest in those classic mobs has waned a bit.  My guild just did its first Open World dragon last night.

There's plenty of time until PoP, and even then, new guilds starting later can get plenty of good gear and raids out of PoP without even hitting Elemental Planes, if they aren't ready(AA/Gear/#'s)

This is a great server to raid on.  Come try it out.

There's room for EVERYONE!
