Karsten GRINDED.
No one should be questing his integrity or dedication.
He picked about the worst race for a insanely hard to level class, and from day one he grinded and formed groups and gutted it out the legit way.
I solo'd a cleric for the vast majority of my grinding. I didnt kill gnomes, dorfs, guards or any of the short cuts.
I never got an XP res that I didnt cast on myself coming up. Which means i didnt get any at all till 39+.
This game is not overly hard. I did plenty of soloing on my warrior, who wasnt even remotely as twinked as anyone thought. Hell I didnt have a PGT, a cloak, a mask, earrings, belt, or any of that jazz. I had an Obsidian Scimitar. And judicious use of bind wound and picking my spots (vital) I had little trouble grinding up through the ranks, playing that silly time slot of midnight to 8am EST.
Get the heck out of fayder. Your up and coming groups now are in eccommons, nro and oasis. There's zero reason to go to fayder until unrest/mistmoore becomes a reality. Those CB Belts won't help you if you cannot find groups.
You're a warrior, go where the shaman and clerics are. Hint: you wont find shamans anywhere near Fayder until they can SOW at 9, and evil race shammys are going to hit Guk and Oasis cuz it's closer to home.
You simply cant stand around on fayder and complain that you can't find groups. It's the obvious ending to a bad movie: there aren't many groups on fayder, and the majority of your classes starting there (esp this late in the game) are enchanters and mages and wizards and other classes that dont mesh well with a warrior. Most Dorf Clerics are going to hop right on that boat to FP, cuz that's where the action is.
Go where the clerics are. If you still can't find groups, figure out if you can change the times of day you play. If that doesnt work, re-roll as something that can solo till groups become available. I can tell you right now a naked mage or necro is going to have a lot more options than an armored tank.
You have to mold yourself to the server.. You can't pick the lousiest time of day to play and the most group-dependant class and expect us to play you sonatas on the worlds tiniest violins. Karsten is right: be pro-active. If that doesnt change your luck around, then simply re-roll.
If you get to freeport and still cant find any action to get in on, then you *tried*. But if you are married to crushbone or blackburrow, you are putting yourself in the hands of fate. And Fate is a cruel, cruel b!tch.
