There going to be any issues playing Agnarr on a mac? P99 has great instructions for setting up wineskin, but I'm pretty illiterate in these processes so I'd need a similar idiots guide.

The full group EXP bonus penalizes people for soloing or for not filling out their group. You lose out on EXP the smaller your group is even if the kill rate doesn't increase (which it will).

While I think it is dumb, it's even more dumb for people to rail on boxes making the game unsocial on these servers when nothing could be further from the truth. People WANT you in their group. Class, level, race or gear doesn't matter. They benefit from inviting you. Because of pick zones also its rare that zones won't have a slot for you in a group. While in Unrest there's only 1-2 camps that a level 20ish character could find a group, on Agnarr expect there to be about 5-6 picks of Unrest so 10-12 camps open for grouping in that level range.

That's why those who box 2-3 are irrelevant and the extreme minority who Box 4-6 really don't inhibit your gameplay at all.

EQ isn't a PvP game. Your supposed to beat the game content. It was never intended for everyone playing the game to race to the content at once. Your not supposed to have to beat everyone else to get your sword.

I loved playing on p99 for most of it. But this confusion over EQ as a PvE game wears on me. If instancing makes EQ easy -- then that's because EQ is an easy game. Keeping it "difficult" by cockblocking most the population is a waste of my time.

You can apply that to WoW and just about any other MMORPG, and you'd also be wrong. There's no better variable in online gaming than fighting a human opponent.

If you prefer fighting predictable AI in MMOs and MOBAs you're half the gamer you think you are.
