Hi all. I've been playing on P99 for a few months now, and I've really enjoyed my time here. The community has been nothing short of amazing, and it's been one of the best MMO experiences I've had in more than ten years!

With that said, I'd like to ask the community some advice on an issue that's been bugging me for awhile now, and it's been causing me to spin my wheels. When I started on the server I made a Druid to make some of that sweet porting cash to get myself started. Which I did. I continued to level my Druid and they are currently sitting at 46 with a Lumi staff ready to shoot up to the 50s.

The creeping problem in the back of my head is...if I should bother investing that much time and effort into a Druid. To hear it told, they are very rarely invited to groups, and I have personally soloed through everything from my late teens to 46, only taking about 4 levels of a break in HHK (for the memories).

On one hand, I have this idea that if I get my Druid to 60 they will have a much higher earning power, allowing me to better twink out an alt. But I wonder if the time investment to do that would be better spent just rolling an alt with a bit of port money and going from there.

My eventual goal is to raid very casually, (hopefully) have an epic, and group up for fun adventures and loot here and there, and solo farming money when none of that is available. I can definitely see the solo farming on a Druid, but the grouping not so much. And I honestly don't know if I mentally have it in me to solo through the 50s. I have heard the nightmare stories about how long it takes.

I've been eyeballing Necro as a potential alt to go with, as I kind of like the concept of twitching. I think it's neat to effectively be a healer...but for mana. I hear they are at least more group friendly than Druids. Either that or an Enchanter will fill the solo and group role, but honestly I am a bit of a newb to the game (I was very young back during the Velious days) so I feel as though the Enchanter might be a little over my head. Could always go with a Rogue too. What I played back in the day but...I highly doubt they could farm money effectively on their own even at 60.

So...what do you all think? Is it worth it to push a Druid to 60? Or would I be better served parking them in their high 40s and rolling on something that will be more capable of a well-rounded experience at 60?

Thanks in advance!
