Not a bad start, but yes folks can still be challenged in finding a group depending on their level and the zone.
I would say for good grouping chances go to the current hot zone for the level.

Finding a group when your not at end game content is a nightmare. On a positive side EQ is the best single player game out there!

Your guide is great! Thanks and will print it out when time allows, am returning player. Know Guild Halls and Lobby. I wish though that the option was still on that you could run back to your corpse as in other games.

You can still run back to your corpse to save the res stone purchase. Back in the old days a player could give you permission to loot their corpse. I can imagine the nightmare SOE had with that. I don't like the mandatory res effects. Before respawning with your items, I just targeted a young toon after looting items then /decay command and went on with life.

Great on the run back. I know, it is not a run back as in Wow where there are graveyards all over where you pop after dying and have the choice of the Angel rezzing you and you have rez sickness and big time armor repairs or run usually a short run to your corpse.

Thanks

you might want to edit this from "indoor sow" to "indoor run speed buff" as spirit of shrew is NOT the same run speed as SOW. something like, 30ish% as compared to 50ish%. sorry, too lazy to look up the percents, but there's definitely a difference with shrew being the slower of the two.

"Everquest: Lost Dungeons of Norrath

- Can start an LDoN when you're in a group with 3 or more people. (No one does them anymore, but in my opinion they are the coolest and funnest things ever.)

- Adventure Leader boards added

- Indoor SoW from Adventure Points and a bunch of other spells"

Lose the Evony advertisements. That so-called MMO is nothing more than a scam perpetuated by UMGE. Examine the site carefully and you will fine nothing but broken links. Google them and you will find nothing but complaints about how shady their tactics are, how poor the game quaility is, and so on. How people dished out a pile of cash to play Evony only to find out it for nothing. UMGE is a well known RMT corperation. If you want your site associated with Real Money Traders, that's your business... personally I think until you rid your site of those banners, Alla's should lock this thread so people do not mistaken Alla's as having any connection with UMGE or Ebony or your website. Just my opinion.

Other than the banner ads being questionable (ie dating girls from the Philippines or the bogus MMO - Evony) you website has some decent information. Although I noticed you basically ripped off Allakhazam's Hot Zone page for your Hot Zone page.

Your banners upon a closer review imo are encoded right into each page. Refreshing your pages bring up the same ad or slight variation of the same company being advertised on that page. You clearly have complete control over what you advertise and I think you should be ashamed of yourself for advertising Infomercial junk, RMT MMO scams, Dating girls from the Philippines, etc.... Either you need to contact google or block those altogether.

Now if you truly are independant of those companies you advertise then yes, you have done an overall good job. But honestly - Are you not actively seeking visitors to your site? This thread is like GM going into Ford's Showroom and pinning up an ad on the staffroom bulletin board for car sales. When normal people ask for help and the members offer options that is different. That is like a customer asking another customer if he knows of car companies that sell purple cars with seat belts... and so he tells him in a friendly conversation. again just imo.
