Just wondering what is the current P99 population like.
Would you rather just solo for whatever reason (your own pace, AFK a lot, efficiency of solo, etc...), or rather join one or more other players?
Just wondering what the P99 population is like really.

No bsh/twr. Poll is illegitimate : (
In topic though, solo is just like practice. You at least need a partner.

Varies, solo for pace and efficiency but its nice to group and chat. I think it depends on the alt im playing really, if it has a strong solo toolkit ill be dungeon crawling.

If I have the time available to commit, I would rather group. I rarely have the time so I end up soloing the majority of the time.

I would go with the option of both because it depends on the mood I'm in when I'm playing.
Right now I'm jumping between playing my Druid, Shaman and Necro. If I feel like soloing then I can but if I feel like getting into a group then I can do that as well.

this should have another option for duo/trio. i don't like to solo, but a full group is boring as hell. i love finding 1-2 other people and bucking down together for some crazy exp.
i honestly don't know how people can get to 60 while grouping, its so dull. atleast trio's will give you some action.

If im in it for xp then solo/duo
Grouping is just for socialization/harder camps imo

I would rather group but I do like soloing here and there.

Group.
Lets be honest, if you are just playing for the "action" there are much better single player options available.
I'm here for the social aspect. Playing by myself is boring, even though I get better exp and loot.

Groups are great fun.
They are small enough that you get to influence the flow of play, but dynamic enough as to not be rinse/repeat affairs.
Soloing is alright if you only have time to knock out a couple of mobs, or you aren't sure how long you can stay on.

I'd prefer to solo everything except raid encounters.

I can't stand committing my time to group content. Too unpredictable.

I like to group so I can realize how bad of a druid I am.

Solo/Duo'd the last three levels on the chanter. Went to KC to group, died 3 times in 2 hours, left poorer with net zero gain in exp. Back to the solo spot.

I'm realizing how spoiled I was with my shaman. Trying to grind these last few levels on my rogue and it's discouraging when you hop on for a length of time and can't find a group. I like the flexibility that comes with soloing, but a great group with a skilled puller is definitely up there.

Solo. It's not that I'm being unsocial. It's that I don't have a lotta time. When I get to play, I won't have more than an hour or two... sometimes less.
I end up soloing most of the time, but prefer duos and trios. Like others have said, I just don't like the commitment of a full group. If I want to afk for 10-15 mins, that is hard to pull off in a group, but no problem if soloing or duoing with a friend.
Also, the more people you add, the lazier people play it seems.

I play in spurts and may randomly AFK/log as needed, so I solo. On P99, I just have the one toon, a Dark Elf Shadowknight. It's fun to have him sort out Norrath alone and tune my goals to what can be expected of a soloing SK versus what treasure requires groups/raids. When you completely strip the raiding game out of EQ, and boil down most dungeons to things that have greened/light-blued out, your perspective on the game changes.
Currently LV 30, camped on a rock somewhere in the Rathe Mountains, waiting for the Runnyeye faction changes to be patched in, because I'm bored with grinding my current hell level.

For me, EQ has always been about group synergy and seeing what your team could accomplish. So I personally prefer groups, full or smaller, over solo. Thats regardless of how much I'm forced to solo due to time constraints.
