The reason you even want to play here is because this server has a healthy population.

The reason the server has a healthy population is because boxing isn't allowed.

This.

Boxxing would make leveling from 50-60 even more painful than it already is. I know where you are coming from but its a shity idea.

Just do both. I have 5 toons i play, some can solo, others need a group.
I log in my groupers, lfg for a few in my fav zone. If i don't get group, i swap to solo.
I don't understand op's problem, you can play any combination of race/class/deity on your unlimited free accounts.
The only limit is your imagination, you're in our world now.

Another dumb fucking blue thread.

Have you heard anything from Live? I could link you at least 200 posts in the next 20 minutes how boxing did nothing but destroy the servers. You basically log on and people are just running around 2,3,4 boxing and soloing everything because its easier that way. Nothing will ever be better than logging in and having to find other people to adventure with.

Go back a few years and LOIO always had a ledge group at the very least, sometimes there'd be a war between the ledge group and a group pulling the front entrance for mobs. Unfortunately people get wise about zone experience modifiers and tend to stick to an increasingly narrow leveling route.

As for the rest of the post, there's days when there's no healers, and days when there's no tanks... the ebb and flow of these zones is always like that. The best way to combat what you're experiencing is to have a different character in each leveling zone.

For example me at the moment:-

52 enchanter in KC
46 bard in CoM
(nobody in MM)
18 paladin in Unrest

...and trying to re-ding 60 on my necro if there's nothing else going on.

Also also, remember you can play red server at the same time as blue (just leaving this here to see who bites)

This is the biggest problem, ZEM. I get bored of Unrest > Highkeep/Mistmoore > CoM. I do a pretty good job at getting groups going to other places (even without being in a guild) and love hunting in SolA, TOFS or Guk but trying to get something together for like Nurga, Paw or Permafrost is pretty much impossible. And forget outdoor zones because the ZEM is terrible and it's usually got someone swarm kiting it anyway.

Two ways to fix it -> Move ZEM around either weekly or even dynamically based on current zone population (maybe make EC immune to that)

Or

Launch Green.

It's the sort of thing that you can organize on the boards here. I think a bunch of people would love to have a go at a session in Nurga, Droga, TOFS, CC, etc - especially if it's during a busy time where you know people are going to be LFG at zone lines in droves across the popular zones.

Servers already overpopulated, why do we need boxing again?
