Why is there no LFG section? - Page 3

I like this idea. But no need to make a new site or do anything complicated. Just make a new page on forums and people can search just like EC Tunnel section. Easy.

This.

Doesn't need to be dynamically updated or even link to the LFG function in the game whatsoever.

Basically would let people notify others that they're going to be logging in at a certain time and would like to group in a specific zone / camp / level range. The desired outcome might be less time spent LFG when you finally do login and more time spent killing it steady.

For example, a thread in this proposed sub section might look like this:

Title: 54 War LF The Hole Group - 4:00 EST

Post: As the title states I'll be looking for people to join me in The Hole starting at 4:00 EST today. I'm logged out right outside, so hoping we can get started right away if enough people are interested. Feel free to send me a tell in game around 4:00, or better yet post your class and level here if interested and I'll save your spot.

Ironically, I was looking for a place to post something very similar to this when I stumbled across this thread. Seems like a LFG sub forum would be more appropriate than putting it in General.

To me this sounds something along the lines of the real time auction log that is available; http://ahungry.com/eqauctions/, in the sense of a third party website for direct live information. If this page had added a LFG type IIRC (classic) chat room along with the steady stream of auction updates, you are essentially killing two trolls with one stone.

I wouldn't ask for a separate forum just for 'Looking For Group'. If you really want a group start messaging people, make some friends, or join a guild. However, I do like the idea of one location where active players looking for a group or a group looking for more people can convene.

Tristantio possibilities?

There's no reason to host the LFG stuff on a separate site, obviously these forums get the most traffic so that's where it should be hosted. All it would take is creating a new forum section, super easy to implement, pls do.
