My problem with actually doing anything in the newer zones is I'd need a group, and it's been so long since I healed in EQ, I'm sure I'd really suck at it (my main is a cleric). I might try to get a group one night and just explain that I'm one of the returning noobs, and would they be patient with me.
Of course, I *still* don't know how to get to the newer areas.
But on the off-chance I find them, I've heard there's more soloable stuff now - is this true for clerics? Missions, or whatever?
