Hey, just stumbled across the site and am in the process of acquiring a copy of titanium.

Played EQ from launch through velious and a bit of planes of power. Played on Tunare server as a war through velious then used a friends necro of and on in planes of power.

I would imagine this gets asks a lot but are there certain classes in higher demand than others on the pve server? I am learning towards rolling a healer, either a dwarf cleric or possibly a shaman but given how big of a PITA it is to level healers in EQ I wanted to know if they are needed and if there are actually low level people to group with.

Thanks, looking forward to getting into it.

if you roll the dwarf cleric and run over to kelethin you will have no trouble finding groups. and theres alot of low level players. thats what people do when they get to 60, they just make a new char and enjoy the journey allover again. unless you are one of those raiding guys who wants to make insane amounts of plats and loot

There are plenty of low levels to group with. I'm not to the higher levels yet myself, but it seems like shamans are everywhere. There's a reason for that, though. It's one of the most solid classes during these eras.

I don't think anybody would ever say more clerics is a bad thing.

Yea I figured everyone would be a shaman or a monk =P

Pick a class you loved to play and want to play again. If you want to play a particular class but want a change of scenery, try a different race. Be advised, there is a racial and class penalty in place on the server. In general this should not matter because you'll still level up etc but some people get upset about this fact.

Welcome to the server. It's a great place to have fun with great friends!

Welcome to the party, broham.

Here's a thread where some server information was compiled.

You'll see that the server is already pretty shaman heavy if that's a concern of yours. But yeah, dwarf clerics won't have any trouble finding a group in the newbie areas and Crushbone.

Best of luck.

More than that, you'll be loved and sought after - just try to resist the urge to melee unless full mana [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Thanks, I need to figure out what I want to do, rolled a cleric and a shaman =P

Already remembering how much leveling in EQ sucks ass and why I only did it once originally.

Thanks for info, think I am going to try to stick with dwarf cleric this time. Original char was half elf war so never did the leveling thing on this continent.

Is there typical places people go for groups throughout the low levels? seems like since the pop is lower than a original live eq server everyone would probably follow the same zones together for grouping.
