i see that making a post about the community will only lead to negative backlash vs the sharing of knowledge.

Thank you all for responding though i appreciate it.
I now have a better understanding of the community that you are building.

In this era of EQ, EXP in general can be much slower since there are a lot of different class penalties in place (in addition to a couple of racial penalties for certain races). These class penalties get patched out sometime in the Velious expansion, so they will be in place on Green for awhile.

Because every class penalty is divided up among the members of the group, filling up groups can really slow down EXP and so you will sometimes run into players who are duoing who won't take anyone else. This can be more prevalent if you are a class with a 40% EXP penalty (Bard, Ranger, Paladin, Shadow Knight), or if you are that class and also a race that comes with an additional 20% EXP penalty (Ogre, Troll). It's annoying, but on the other hand you will find groups that are more than willing to take a full 6 people.

Put them on /ignore and never group with them if at all possible.

Like the real world EQ has its share of asshats... But there are also good people around as well (probably the minority regarding strangers sadly).

Find a decent guild with members your level who you can group with regularly (this might take some time and levels). Also utilize your /friends list with people you grouped with and enjoyed their company and check your list (/who friends all) when you login. Eq is a very social game and making friends and enemies is a big part of the experience!

agree. no talking, ignore and move on. keeps me out of trouble. its funniest when you do it to guildies and they start complaining in voice chat about asking you for buffs (ignore that too). ive only done this in soulless zerg guilds so your mileage may vary.

after a while i do a forgiveness meditation session with karana and cleanse the ignore list. everybody deserves a second chance, op

Orge Death Knight Named Draekkon
High Elf Cleric Ephus

I travelled from Qeynos to group in Faydark to gain exp and faction in that area.
Upon arriving i asked if i could join a group.
In Response they told me that there is a waiting list.
Mind you they are in a group of only two people.
That being said there was also no one in sight of the area who would be the 1st in Line.

when i told them i was confused as to why i could not join they proceeded with name calling, telling to get a life and move on. I was not in anyway rude to them at any point during this whole conversation.

It is hard for me to see the Play nice and treat people with respect aspect that this project 1999 is proclaiming on the surface. Is this something i have to expect from participating in this Project from hence forth.

I am brand new to this Eq title and i am just looking for a good gaming experience.

If anyone else runs into these two players please beware!

I am sharing this to not complain but in hopes of gaining a better understanding to this game and people who are playing.

You never should have left the great refuge of Qeynos! How else are you to learn about the great wonders of Rodcet Nife. If you choose to return to your homeland you can group with me anytime!

This is very typical and routine for this server. Welcome aboard!

As with any population you will encounter such people. Give it a chance and you will meet many good people too. Mostly good I would say.

so 6 troll SKs grouping together would split a kill 6 ways and lose 60% to penalty? That would be pretty slow!

Keep your head up OP. They were probably from the original Green server as folks like that were few and far between on Teal.

Keep telling yourself that.
