“But! EQ2 has plenty of stuff for casual players! It’s true!”

Amen. I’ve never raided a day in my life (oh wait, I think I got in on a small one once by accident, so we won’t count that) and I don’t ever intend to. And yet there’s still more to do in EQ2 than I ever find time for whenever I’m logged in.

T4-Tschmore, I say! :D

I think that using Kurns x2 as an example was just a bad idea. Sure the first named is not hard, but beyond that It takes a well geared two groups that work well together. The fact is that some content is not designed for casual players.

However you are correct that some people out there only want to group with people who are in raid gear even if it isn’t needed for the intended zone. In my experience there is also many people who don’t care. The problem is they are not the ones who are looking for people in chat channels. They tend to stick with people they already know. This creates the problem of finding them :)

Re – people pointing you to the wiki – what difference is it between getting information from other players and getting it from the wiki ? Honestly there is so much in this game that even people who have been playing for years have not seen it all or can remember it all. I agree that to a new player the “where do I go next” is a major problem with the game. If you are following the old world quest lines then they may not point you to newer zones that could be “better”. Honestly it is best to look at the Wiki so you know what options are out there.

In a way, that there’s so much to do in EQ2 was what intimidated me the most (that and the impression I got that getting AAs equal to my adventuring level and MC armor for every tier was a must). I sensed there was a lot I was missing out on at level 37, but I just didn’t know where I should go or what I should do to access it, and I wanted to avoid the wiki (which was where everyone I asked directed me) as much as possible. It all looks quite fun, but it’s still an unpenetrable mystery to me.
