Went through Oasis earlier and pretty much all I saw at orc highway was pullers looking at other pullers, followed by a piranha style frenzy as one spawned and they all raced to tag it.

I'm sure it wasn't that bad everywhere though, nice to see both communities thriving.

The bards, God, damn the Bards.

Why does it say 1812 players on blue on the front page. In game it says 1607 players with /who all count?

Yeah, after this weekend I've become convinced bards are basically game ruiners. I don't feel like I should have to pay a bard to powerlevel me, but it was the same in every outdoor zone I went to, some bard gathering up dozens of mobs, and powerleveling guildies. It's so frustrating.

I'm happy double xp is over TBH.

Nah, you just don't have the attitude or willingness to solve your own problem. Peel a mob or two off a bard who is kitting. You see the bard run by, then a moment or two later, the train of mobs runs by. I will snare a few to quad. Done deal. Its not that the bard is ruining your fun times, its that you are allowing it to occur. /petition (if you really feel like being a dick), peel a few mobs that you need, and/or goto a zone that is not on the normal (how to level) guide on the Wiki. go outside the box. Enjoy EQ. Dont follow the wiki mindlessly without any ability to make adjustments.

This.....so much this.

Think outside the box. A group I was in had a chanter AE memblur(?) AE stun(?) mobs out of a bards pack and kite them around while we pulled singles off of it. Great xp!

I still love you Mixxtape <3

I wasn't following the wiki mindlessly.

This weekend I was in LOIO on my Necro and attempting to charm undead, around level 25-30, particularly Charbones and the like.

Every time I used sense undead, I would run up to a giant bard train kiting dozens of them. I would wind up peeling one, charming it, then have very little for him to engage.

I'm actually surprised how willing everybody is to compromise 50% of the zone's mobs and work around these bards.

Eventually I just wound up charming Varsoon the Undying and having him kill guards, and other mobs in Qeynos Hills. It was fun until he magically despawned.
