Started fresh as a paly this weekend. Definitely a lot better than when I tried it a year ago. Fun being a newbie in rags again. Getting excited about rawhide upgrade drop. Fun having no one care what kind of gear you have as long as you do your job. Exping (besides the rate) feels more classic since you have to be careful and not just destroy everything with overgeared characters.
I exped in CB just to see the "griefers". Just super overgeared lowbies being stupid. They are easy to avoid. Remember you're playing a person and not a computer. Throw them some jukes. Jump in the water. Run to the zone but then stop right before and watch them zone right by you and laugh. If they kill you just laugh it off. Pack it up and try somewhere else a bit. You know you have no chance to kill them (rusty sword vs. fungi is futile), they know you have no chance to kill them. If you spew angry tells you're just fueling the fire. Since you can't kill em see if you can get them to rage quit by keep evading them. That's the true victory.
The group exp was a great idea. No one wants to solo, even heavy twinks. Good for grouping all around. People complain about leveling too fast to gain money. That's just silly. Take a break and go farm some low lvl stuff for spell money after you get some levels. Exping is so fast it means you can actually do more things besides grinding.
Overall good time, will play more.
