Want to play a Druid, but...
Hey guys,
I played EQ way back in the day around 2002, so while I'm not completely new to the game, I definitely was not a part of the original, vanilla game. Anyway, I've always loved the Druid class and am really keen to roll one here. I just love the lore and story behind the magic of the class. However, based on posts I've seen that depict the percentages of each class on Green and Teal, it seems like the population is flooded with Druids currently. Could someone explain why there is such a crazy amount of Druids? I don't think they are incredibly OP in classic, but I didn't play back then, so please correct me if I'm wrong. My guess is that people are rolling Druids to PL other characters and to make some coin play taxi, but I'm really unsure... Secondly, to any Druids that are currently playing, are you experiencing any difficulties with finding a group? I know Druids solo well, but I always thought half the fun of the game was playing with others. TLDR - I want to be a druid, but I'm worried about being shunned from groups and feeling extremely common haha Thanks! | ||

It's not a flood really. They're very popular but still only maybe 15% of the population, and many are pretty exclusively solo.

Agreed with play what you want.
I assume the reason for so many druids is the potential for port money and the powerleveling capabilities. Currently, I have a level 15 Druid. I decided on this class because I have never played one before. So far, I have had no issues finding groups on Teal and I am having a ton of fun playing one. Since everyone is running around pretty much naked, most groups require multiple healers so having many druids is a great thing. Although, as stated above, many are flying solo, so while I have seen them LFG, there doesn't seem to be a ton of them compared to any other class. | ||

"people are rolling Druids to PL other characters and to make some coin play taxi"
You basically answered your own question there, that is likely why the number is so high. They are easily one of the easiest solo classes with no gear and have the ability to easily traverse the world in a few minutes. Druids will almost always have trouble finding a group unless you know people, an LFG druid is not high on the priority list for almost any groups ever, This is coming from a long time druid. Druids certainly arent horrible in groups by any measure but people are looking for classes that excel in something, druids are jack of all trades to an extent.

I play an ENC a class that according to polls is been over played and I have 0 issues finding group.
Groups need heals and you will always have plenty of groups looking for a healer class. Most of the time if groups are full you ask the group leader to put you on list and you go do something else and when spot opens they PM you can boom your in. It's not as complicated as some people make it out to be and just about any class is more then welcome into groups. | ||
