Logged in for the first time in over a year (having taken a break to try Warhammer and EQ2). Moved all my "cool old gear" off the level 8 warrior I had left it all on which took half an hour of character switching. I ended up not rolling a new character on my old server though.

Mayong 51/50 didn't bring me back but it is where I went. The funny thing is I think they could have put 51/50 in as an option for all the existing servers without hurting anything, and made Mayong something else without the 51/50.

I just liked the idea of a server with no long-established legacies. I admit being all maxed skilled was nice (yay for swimming)and being a former alt-holic there isn't much under 50 content I haven't already done.

The free gear set is crazy good making most of my old characters seem poorly dressed. Having no platinum was funny though... as a berserker this meant no throwing axes.

I'll get at least a few weeks of fun out of 51/50 so that makes the resub worth it. The only mmo I ever miss is EQ.

Welcome Back snailish. Saturday I did the /testcopy thing thinking the grinding you do on test goes back to your toon on your regular server, wrong wrong wrong Smiley: oyvey. I logged off after that. Sunday I broke out a healer merc. Healer merc just isn't me I deleted her. I have https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=31019 waiting on me when I hit 66, it is killing me waiting. I got in a guilds AA PLing in Nadox. I knocked out 25 AA and hit level 60 on my pally in no time. Man raiders do play a different game than the little solo pally! After checking the xp in veksar and trash in nightmare, I headed back to outer AC my little gem of xp. I got 61 % into level 60 there, closing in on heroism woot. Most all will turn greeny when I hit 61 NO!!!!

Any ideas on the next outer AC area with plenty of mobs with low hps around level 50 with a nice zem bonus that is not veksar ? I've never tried the undead in old seb that is an idea. Xp in howling stones is nice but man I get confused in that zone.

Thanks

Reaching the undead in Seb requires a rogue to unlock the crypt door, FYI. There's no key for it.

Didn't do a whole lot this weekend. Raided Saturday evening. Was fun and a change. Sun worked on the Grimling Forest Camp events again, and finally got Camp 2 completed. Tried the town (camp 10), but couldn't figure a way to do it successfully solo ... I need a non-breakable root :) Even 1-2min, if it didn't break :D

Yther Ore.

Partied and played EVE all weekend.

Thinking of coming back ot EQ again in the fall, depending on how much time and/or money I have at that point.

For most of my weekend see my thread in the asylum titled "Elne Clare and her attraction to ER"
Got home from Gettysburg today.
Now on Friday I did play eq. Had the ranger in griegs end and the paladin back in NC hunting drunt. Got one rune to drop. Having Tserrina's whip, which I picked up last week in TOFS is helpful.
Sunday I drove home to work on Monday. Did another run in Griegs end. Logged in paladin to go home and get some 65 spells I had made for him. Ran back to NC.
