Two boxing is really making me wish I had someone to duo with instead. If any of you know anyone who would be interested in rolling a new character, please let them know that I will heal and buff the poo poo out of them.

Ah, I meant a goon-only thing but I'll check this out too, thanks. And thanks for the other answers. Do people usually mind if you two box in a group? Also, how do shaman and druids fare as healers in end game compared to clerics?

You mention "crippling authority issues" in a server where the names are not just regulated for vulgarity or inappropriateness, but just to force the players to fit into the "story", out of some admin's desire to micromanage the community. But you're blaming... the players?

I want to name myself Zerothehero. It's a name I've used for a while. The phrase isn't exactly unique but my use was inspired by the 70's band Gong. He was a character in a series of concept albums they released. The name isn't offensive or inappropriate. I don't want to name myself Eleria Dawnbringer or some name like that just because some admin likes roleplaying any more than I'd like to name myself Fox_Lover_233 just because some admin was a furry. The last thing I'll do is tolerate being insulted for not wanting to roleplay.

Is there a goony goon guild to play in or how are you all playing together?

Who are you on there? I could use some help with learning the ropes. I rolled a rogue. I've played on this server before, but its been forever and I played on Live earlier this year, but I realize SoD is nothing like that one at all.

So the folks I left my monk Susvain to have stopped playing, and I figured that I might as well give Goon Squad access to him if anyone wants to use him as a raid puller or boxxed DPS for exp groups or whatever. Decently well geared for what Goon Squad is raiding it looks like.

So, if there's anyone playing in Goon Squad that I know, post here or PM me and I'll give you the info.

GS has been actually raiding T7+ content for like months. As a reward this game's horribly managed dev team (its one guy) removed something like an entire tier's worth of content and rendered half the poo poo we farmed in LT useless! Can't wait to grind to Farhags without Thaz gear only to get 1 loot/boss when we finally do get there. It's like everything-you-don't-do-in-an-ageing-mmo, the game.

Saw the banner add, read the first couple of pages. drat you EQ, I will never be able to take these nostalgia goggles off.

Will probably start up tommorow, question for you vets-

I dont want to dual box, so its one character for me.

That being said, I was thinking of playing a (from what I remember of old EQ) good solo class, like a necro or druid, possibly bard.

Is there any class I should shy away from? Is there rougly 13 million necros? Is there about 1 enchanter on the server and hes got a lovely internet, so rolling a chanter means people will line up to talk to me?

Basically looking for the state of the game and seeing what I can roll up to help out my fellow goons.

The XP gain isn't as much of an issue as being able to get the person back to the camp without running back.

Can a druid fill a pure dps role well? We are thinking of having 1 cleric and 1 druid for backup heals/DPS/CC and utility but the primary role he will fill most of the time is DPS.

So far we plan to have Cleric, Warrior, Druid and Enchanter. A Necro and another dps class might be boxed by the Cleric and Warrior. We really haven't decided on the last two dps spots yet.

Edit: After reading the first few posts in the thread you listed it seems like I really will want to have a cleric in the group. We plan to do 6 man and 12 man raids when we get 65 so having a cleric for that will really help.

Rogue posted:

Hey, if someone wants to box/play my 65 bard, send me a PM. She was in pretty good shape with some very nice weapons, some mid-level raid gear, 50 or 60AAs.

Clinton1011 posted:

Any suggestions for making plat in the 55-60 range? We have a full group and half of us have no plat and are missing a lot of gear. I figure what we can't camp for our selves we can at last buy from the auction channel.

As a bench mark for what we can handle, we have been able to take out the bone dragons in dragons necropolis. Its a close fight but we can take them as long as someone doesn't make a big mistake.

Has anyone on the SoD staff ever said they wanted to do this? I thought that was just accepted as the way this server works. Pathing would alter the pulling mechanics of many zones quite drastically.

Broadside posted:

Is the goon guild still around? Just started a SK named Ilsilth. If anyone wants to chuck me any unwanted items I'd be greatful.

Bandwidth Wagon posted:

When I played, Paladins were the best group tanks because they had 2-3 spells that would AE and thus they could control multiple mobs easily. As for why they use blind instead of stun, it was my experience that they generated a similar amount of aggro and blind uses almost no mana. Also, they're both magic resist based, so it otherwise didn't make much different using one versus the other. Many mobs were practically immune to stun anyway.

Downloading the client now; played EverQuest up to about level 20 around the time Planes of Power was just out, so basically clueless. What classes are useful and in demand? I'd like to get into the social side as quickly as possible.

unclenutzzy posted:

Hey, thanks. I spent a bit looking at this, and it looks like there's enough group content to keep me occupied for a while as a casual player.

If all characters are on tier, what's the ideal group composition for progressing through group content? Do all tank/healer combos work?

Suprfli6 posted:

Hey are there any goons out there with a fresh 65 monk that will let me use it for like an hour to do some parses? I've got my own t13 monk and I can probably get access to one that's tier ~9 but I really want to get data from one that's on the lower end.

Or Woldaff if you see this, maybe you could just tell me if I'm wasting my time because the fist/h2h situation is going to be changed?

Two questions!

1) Compared to other EQs, it seems like my 3rd person viewpoint is quite a lot higher(as in higher up on the screen) in SOD. Have I screwed something up or is this usual?

2) I used to play this awhile ago, how far 'behind' is my old character? http://shardsofdalaya.com/fomelo/fomelo.php?char=terate

I've reinstalled, where did all my buddies go?? I was gone all summer. This is Yogg. I'll probably be dinking around if dudes want to beat up some digital monsters.

I'm sure this is asked a million god drat times in this thread, but how's the player population for SoD? I'm not looking for it to be thousands of people all spamming endlessly in chat or anything, but a steady amount is nice. This game looks interesting and I've been trying to scratch that MMO itch lately and nothing that's free seems appealing.

Tabletops posted:

should I come back and play?

also quick rules question since I don't remember, can I triple log a buffbot or is that a nono? I can't remember if triple+ logging is only really bad if your xping or not.
