Kinda wanna try a raiding wizard but I have heard they suffer the same fate as here... no groups. I don't want to quad slowly on a TLP that is going to be dead in 2 years with a krono economy and people that pump and dump progression then leave. Maybe if I could come back in 4 years to a healthy playerbase but lets be honest TLP servers that aren't "current" are full of creepy loners lost in time and aren't really healthy enough to support raids/economies. These kinda vibes:

I'd do mage but apparently pets are super fucking gimped and non classic, also that their damage counts as aggro for the mage so they die constantly. Not to mention the nerf that the more pets attacking a mob the gimpier they get and a million other things.
Those are the only 2 classes I could probably stomach and even then the best parts of PoP (slow AA grind, slow gearing, slow progression, bazaar economy being healthy because not everyone was raid geared/being undermined by krono, more socialization, etc) have been easy buttoned so hard that the end of the journey will be a BIS wizard in welfare standing alone in the EC tunnel (or PoK) I never get attached to, maybe a couple kronos to repeat the entire process over again on the "new one" that comes out then. These people effectively skip the most rewarding parts of the game and are max level and raiding within 72 hours (or 40 hours in the case of Vox/naggy on level 34 mages)... there aren't even any cosmetic rewards or epeen scores for doing this that transfer over to the "new" TLP in ~12-18 months.
I love "ladder" style game play in things like PoE or Diablo 2 but they translate horribly to games like EverQuest. It feels so... hollow? like the fun isn't in the journey but the destination. Taking the Ever out of Everquest and turning it into a speed run. Like, it's not even classic so rogues are going to get shit on class balance and everything is predictable. At least PoE had leagues with actual game changing rule sets and MTC rewards that you could take to the next one.
tl;dr
Will I be able to at least get groups on my Wizard or will I be sitting there LFG while people play the same few power gaming min/max classes? |
Your over thinking this big time,
play your wizard, you'll love it and have a great time
