So quick update on how the evening went. Had a great time with a group in Crushbone from 15-16 camping the wall and pulling slavers as well as some of the throne room. Had a level 55 mage stick with us for a bit keeping a damage shield up and pulling for us. I was probably too high for the area, but was honestly having too much fun to leave. Xp slowed down so we decided to make the trek to Kaladim and turn in belts/pads then head to unrest. At this point the group is 16 paladin (me), 15 wizard, 14 rogue, 14 cleric, 15 druid.
Along the way half the group got lost. I made it to Kaladim, did my turn ins, found the bank, and headed out when the cleric goes "sorry guys, still lost in Gfay." No big deal, he finds his way to Unrest about the same time we all do, so time to get to killing, right?So now the druid is having lag issues, dc's and never makes it back. The rogue eats a death in the Cauldron. But we journey on and have basically the whole yard in Unrest to ourselves.
Eventually our rogue makes it there and we recruit a bard and shadowknight. XP is flowing, great times are had by all. Somewhere along the way we go deep on a conversation about AI and the singularity. You know, normal group chat. I end up almost 2 yellow in to 17 and we all decide it's late as hell and time to log.
For nearly 4 hours I grouped with people I didn't know, had great conversations and continued on the journey to 60. Fuck I love Everquest.
