I want to kill a Dragon....

[Topgunben]

But i dont want to batphone.

Any chane the server gods would be willing to change the respawn time on Vox and Nag to 7 days +/- 1 hour? And Trak to 3 days +/- 1 hour?

At least give me a shot to plan on being there. I cant block out 16 hours for elf quest. No one in his right mind should have to do that.

If the server gods do not listen, then the hell with them.

Dragons often spawn during normal play hours. Just watch the spawn windows until they align with your play schedule. Its not too difficult.

Most “normal” people have a spouse and kids and maybe play 2-4 hours after work. The chances of a specific 16 hour variance mob spawning in that sweet spot is pretty low. So pretty terrible advice really.

It isn't bad advise at all. Plenty of raid mobs have windows that end between after work hours (6pm-9pm) at certain points of the year. If your guild keeps track of respawn timers you just need to spend 5 seconds a day looking at the timers to see if any mobs you are interested in fit your schedule. Does this mean you get to kill Dragons every week? No, but if you have a wife and kids, you don't have time to do that anyway, right?[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Have you tried jerking off? You can slay that dragon at will with no batphones iirc

A 16 hour window is horrible. No one that has a real life is able to deal with that.

This is EQ lost nearly all its casual base when other MMOs came out. I sincerely think that its because of these draconian respawn mechanics among other things.

Again most people arent going to stare through a wall for 16 hours or cancel a weekend of real life events just for the chance to slay a dragon. You can tell me to get good, but if thats what being good takes, I prefer to be shitty.

Works in theory, but you’ll be racing the uber guilds who have a raid of level 51 chars planted at that dragon and also have access to the respawn timer

Until they lose interest, you probably aren’t getting any dragons
