New-ish player unable to find groups

[Seiryu]

Hey all. I've been on here for a few weeks and am finally posting here because I wish to say a couple of things.

First, I love EQ. I don't mind the XP Grinds or camps. In fact, I finished the Paladin Epic back on live way back in the day if that says anything. My issue is that I have gotten two levels in the past two weeks from level 16-18 as a druid, solely due to the fact that I'm unable to find any groups at this level. I've attempted to solo kite, and without a clarity available, I'm able to reliably get two kills every ten minutes or so charm kiting.

As much as I respect the server for wanting to keep groups going, the population is way too low to bar multi-boxing. At least with a box alt, I'd be able to progress at a reasonable rate. There are times where I easily spend four hours at a time LFG with no luck.

Now, like I said, I'm an old EQ player, so none of my friends appreciate it or want to play it like I do. I'm generally playing solo and when I finally do get a group, it's usually at p1 in Oasis, which xp moves slow as molasses.

I'm going to give the game another week and see if things get better, but I feel I'll be leaving you guys very shortly. As much as I appreciate the option to play, the low level player base is too small to get anything done.
