[...] how older MMOs like EverQuest used to be. Groups mindlessly farming while chatting away. Tipa summed up the experience in a recent post, and I’m inclined to think that CoH, in a way, is actually heading back in that [...]

It’s a shame you missed Secrets of Faydwer when it was the current expansion. It was really well done, with lots of major quest strings and great zones. The only downside for many were the various faction grinds in order to receive the best spells/skill tomes. Still, I enjoyed SoF a lot.

@TheRemedy — Anassa’s pet was the tank, and we were all trying not to get summoned by doing too much damage and pulling aggro. Which is why I was using throwing knives instead of melee :P If I’d gotten in melee range, I would have been the one with the aggro. This last group was mage, necro, rogue (ne) and three cleric mercs.

@Longasc — Underfoot is another plane of existence. It connects to Norrath at the bottom of the Hole and in Corathus Creep (from the Depths of Darkhollow expansion). There’s maps, but they don’t correspond to a new continent in the above world or anything.

Seems you found something traditional to do over the summer! Maybe post a map – dunno if instances and stuff make that impossible, but I really have problems to follow people through their Everquest adventures.

You’re off leveling while poor Anassa is still waiting for that summons. :(
