Hay it's Bob!!! I do the same thing with P99. Between the podcast, kids, work, etc. things get crazy and sometimes I don't sign back on for a couple of months, but once I do log in again, I'm hooked!! There's a Kelethin ambiance video on TH-cam I out on sometimes while I'm puttering around the studio and it's quite comforting.
The guy who soloed warrior to 60 was Barthorn. he had a google document of his entire process of being solo self found. he did it as a Gnome too! i can't confirm if they DID actually do it solo but they did other solo stuff so im inclined to believe they did. he also made a video of how he bow kited the dragons for one specific quest too
Most people kill giants for Thurg, SS and CoV faction. There are faction pulls at times to Wakening Lands ZL in Kael. The SSF warrior was Barthorn i believe.
Lovingrobot interviewed original Everequest spell designer Geoffrey Zatkin awhile back and I hope as a dev he took heart how control and manipulation spells are what still seperates classic EQ from modern MMO's. Even EQ in the post level 50 started making mobs immune to control spells and that was a design mistake.
Agreed. Had an enchanter and noticed the class was getting more useless during levels 50+ when half of that class's useful spells were becoming gradually more ineffective against the mobs.
Currently playing Quarm, 25 SK playing self-found only, no solo restrictions. Man it really changes EQ, it's an entirely different game when you play like that. Definitely recommend trying self-found as a melee at some point, just for the challenge. You'll find yourself exploring and hunting down mobs you'd never normally go after just to get some gear.
Guilds go for all sorts of content, on quakes it will be raid targets, but definitely things like plate house is organised within guilds. You might want to check out plate house if you can find a group as you will get the thurgadin class armor dropping at much better rates than anywhere else.

thanks for the video :) really glad you're enjoying EQ again, which server do you play on / recommend
I take 2 years off between p99 hauls. Have to say this return it's not the same. Really a ghost town on blue.
I think the giant beard has a limited casting ability on it.
