Lake of Ill Omen

[Abner]

Before I travel alla way there. Is there much going on there groupwise?

[Meiva]

Haven't grouped there, but have spent time there. I'd say yes for the 20-25+ ish? I know nothing, but yes.

[triad]

yea theres a pretty consistent amount of grouping going on there but its off and on throughout the day .. its not MM but it keeps atleast 10 or so people in there mostly doing fort

[Abner]

So at 20 you'd suggest MM for groupage?

[Argh]

At 20 the most active group spots would probably be MM, Highkeep, or maybe Upper Guk.

[Susvain2]

at MM theres only 3 spots though, one for each level range, so if you dont get in, you gotta wait awhile

20-26 for pond
25-33 for gy
30-40 for castle ent/castle

[Susvain2]

but its like the best exp anywhere

highkeep is amazing and good money selling ears 25-33 though

There are plenty of spots in the castle that never get pulled because of this mentality. Yard, tower, throneroom are easy to manage with a druid or ranger.

unrest is also a good spot for 20 ... if i have the choice i enjoy HK for the easy selling and extra exp that comes with goblin ears .. but MM has the most traffic throughout the day for sure

I'm surprised the yard, or garden or whatever you want to call it, isn't a common spot for a second castle group. Not surprised that antying deeper in isnt, although I totally wish it was! CE at least you can train to the zone, anything inside the castle can be a wipe and you have to time the room you're in because when it pops, it pops!

MM is totally my favorite place to level for that range - but Susv is right, you will have to wait to get into a group. If you are patient and can fill spots when people leave you can get 1-2 levels in an evening!

[Swish]

MM definitely the most fun, but Sarnak fort in LOIO is fun too (up until 28-29) ;)

[Meiva]

HHK supports one group these days. Expect a queue to group in HHK, yet the queue can be short due to how dull the camp is.

[Clark]

Such great memories of the sarnak fort on live. People freaking loved that area.

I remembered HHK being like noobtown back in classic and so I never leveled there.. so with my latest Enc character I went there to try it out, see some classic stuff I never did, and omg it was noob town, every pet killed immediately upon break, every mez broken, healers AFk

All I could thinka bout was

15 years later and people still break mez.... really?

rofl

[Lune]

I've done a lot of grouping at the sarnak fort here on P99, even back when the pop was only 5-600. There might not always be groups going on in LOIO, but I'd say there usually is.

yea i spent some time there on my newest char leveling with my brother purely for the fact that he wanted to exp where he did back then (fort and FM Giants )

[Fiyero]

Mistmoore XP isn't really amazing. HighKeep/Sol A definitely better imo, but less populated.

yea I dont get the low zem reports on solA because I think the XP is fantastic!

Yup.

MM, Unrest etc... often overcamped. Expect to wait an hour for a group during peak. But don't wait where all the trains run... where all the corpses lay. Then out leveled players camping low level camps (really, Unrest MR should NOT be "lfm lvl19+" :P pfff).

Kunark is healthy, groups in most every zone. Omen usually has 15-20 people. Doing a /who all lakeofillomen brings up 19 players right now. I run through there often, sometimes drop-item hunting, always groups in normal hours. Expect to find most groups at the fortress or the windmill. Same with the surrounding zones, always groups in normal hours.

[iruinedyourday]

I like to hang out around the group I want to join so they can invite me asap, also i can buff them and stuff and help out a little... but dont help too much or they will enjoy the PL and never leave :)

[Daywolf]

What?? nobody does that...
You get on their list and wait your turn... if they have need of you anyway. You hang around groups, you trip into peoples outgoing/returning trains and wipe their group. Unrest MR is probably the worst place to hang around doing that, should be asked to leave hehe. If you are not in the basement group, then you should clear the area, period. Maybe unrest wall for yard trash or the lake in MM, other than that it's putting groups at risk imo.

idk what you're stressin about, people do it literately all the time. and it doesn't cause problems.

Lol

[iruinedyourday]

To be fair take my advice with a grain of salt. Play how you feel! If you are not going to go around inspecting the aggro mobs around a camp poking your head around corners and shit pulling for a group that your not in & has a puller and you're a caster, then yea prob listen to Daywolf. But wouldn't worry the group would ask you stop doing what your're doing if you're doing something wrong.

But sitting next to a CE group tossing haste or something to a hasteless group is generally welcome :)

hell, 100% of the Crypt groups that I have been in have had a perpetual stream of rogues following us backstabbing until a spot opens, never been a problem, always welcome.

[Schwing]

I used to do that all the time! People always appreciate it and it's better than just sitting at the zone line and waiting. Plus, back in the day, I don't remember there always being a waiting list for every group, so my presence served as a reminder that yo, I want in when there's room.

hah if you showed up hanging around while us big boys did our work, you'd get teh boot. Don't you have like orc pawns to swarm kite or somethin? :D

yeah... it don't happen.

edit: in fact, I don't even go to those places during peak anymore. Too many people wandering around being were they should not be, stirring up needless trains. Then you see those Unrest mobs just crazy training all around, all sporadic, attacking everyone, because some goof wanted to run around by himself doing whatever. Either sport proper cammo or stay in the safe area, really, do us all that favor.
