Thinking of playing again

Maxium · #1 07-18-2012, 11:05 PM

Played for awhile over a year ago. I saw on the home page there's about 239 people online around peek hours. When I quit it was like 1000+

Is it worth reloading and playing again? Or are groups really a pain in the neck to find?

its like 500+ peak hours generally. The servers crashed like 30 min ago. hehe. some zones still are not up yet. You should definitely play! and bring friends.

It was around 1000 peak when I took a break. It was pretty bad a month ago, but it seems to have stabilized around 500 peak. Gauging from talk on the server, I imagine Velious will double the popluation.

I see...

I have a 51 mage and an 11 warrior (who's decked out except for Mith arms).

Was interested in playing either. Was a warrior back in the day. But melee classes are so dependent on groups. Was curious if it was not worth it to even try to play him.

Thanks for the input! I'll think about it.

Oh, and is that whole guild drama b*tchfest still going on? Or are there enough chill ones to join still?

seems to be pretty easy to get a group since I started on server

D3 ruined the population... but since d3 sucks and people are figuring that out, server pop is coming back

I'd suggest playing your warrior if you like melee. Warriors are always great to have. I think you went about it correctly by leveling up a class capable of farming to get your warrior geared up. You should be able to find groups in the usual places as you level up. I see people constantly in places like Oasis, Unrest, Mistmoore, SolB, etc... Some times you need to take the initiative and get a group going, other times, you can luck out and get an invite when LFG is up.
The guild scene I think has settled down a lot. Yes, there are still some issues but generally I find that the guilds are pretty decent towards each other and it continues to improve. I'd say get into a casual guild to get some raiding time in and then play your alt when you wish to. It's great to be able to experience both aspects of the game. It's all about having fun.

Many people moved on, so I don't think so.
