How Is P99 Doing?

[Lagaidh]

Since I posted, I fired up some Green toons. I got my customary pally to 15 and a HFL DRU to 20.

The attitude of players is fantastic, warm and welcoming. Until you get out into the "teens" zones. It's still good, but you begin running into more players who'd rather do anything but stop and type out sentences.

Something that really strikes me now, more than any time I ever played EverQuest, is that the world is just too cramped, even with a small population. 800 people on? What you want is camped. Even if it's just Dorn in NRO. Camped. Already.

It's like the majority of this game is trying to find something that gives xp in an outdoor zone, because... everything else already has a structured camp around it.

This is the way it's always been... I don't know why I'm noticing it so hard this time. I guess I used to be way more comfortable with completely and utterly wasting my time. If I travel to a camp and it's taken, poof there went my investment of time. In the past, I'd say eff it and go swimming, or goof around in the world. Seems this time, if I can't make some progress, no matter how small... I get frustrated quickly.

I feel like Danny Glover. I'm gettin' too ol'fuh dis'shit.

At least this time, I get to burn out on what the game actually is rather than the people playing it. That is an astounding improvement.

Maybe I'll see some of you in the Green world. Cheers.
