You just gotta try and make some friends, and it will be that much easier to have a nightly group. Though I suspect there are so many twinks nowadays, most players just like to see those big xp jumps in the lower levels, it doesn't last long.

Yeah I noticed this too. Sorry parting with RL friends, sorry soloing, sorry full. Dinged 18 and having a heck of a time finding a spot. Hoping its just the exp bonus but Oasis, Guk, SK, Lake Rathe, Unrest were too crowded and fighting over scrapes. When does kunark hit? Maybe I should take a break until then.

I always enjoyed going off the beaten path for leveling. Away from others. It's nice if you can get a group of friends to group with you in less traveled zones. I tend to enjoy Highpass/East Karana and South Karana at times (there will be people there, just not as many)

Until Kunark does hit, there will be limitations obviously, though.

I think everyone enjoys leveling faster and safer by yourself. It's a win/win situation that's for reason become the norm.

I would just like to add that you will sometimes meet very nice and helpful players. Maybe someone will give you a nice magic item; or give you a buff; or help you with a rez. And you sometimes get in a group that seems to know how to play; and have lots of fun for several hours.

This happens infrequently; but when it does it makes everything seem worthwhile.

Best wishes and safe travels, dragolyche!
