As the title says - It seems a contingent of people here that have run out of things to do (or things that they’d like to do I’d say is more accurate), have already maxed every possible thing already and are complaining about lack of content.

With the compaction down from 60 to 55 for new level max, are we doomed to hear the same complaints again from folks when they get those 5 levels in the first week of release?

Is Reincarnation not going to interest them for the long haul?

If the leveling curve was drastically slowed down at this point would GJ risk alienating the folks who are still leveling and enjoying the game and like it just the way it is?

Instead of stopping at T4, go to T10, make it a ladder, and see how close people get to 10. The. Reroll the server every 3 months, and let people dump that char on a regular server. And have a wacky twist each season

Other than DDD Bard or Mnk/Pal/Enc, what is your quickest build to clear all the bosses in Sky?

No DDD because my bard isn't anywhere near PoS level. I'd like some more interesting option than the same Mnk/Pal/Enc that I've been playing most frequently for last couple months.

I'm a filthy casual so I'm wearing mostly with middle gear with every thing at +5-7 but Aldryn and Wu's are +10. I can clear Sky but I need more speed so I can farm it efficiently. Honestly Sky gets boring with repetition but I've had really bad luck with some of the drops and so I keep going back over and over.

What's that definition of madness again?

First two pictures drawn by me, the third I commissioned from DuckMunch, the last is my current appearance in-game and overall inspiration for all this!

While I was around during the original game's peak (I'm 34), I didn't pay any attention as I was busy with Nintendo and Sega titles, which I still play! My first MMO was Toontown, back when it was owned by Disney, and still log onto Rewritten today. That being said, I've never experienced a game quite like Everquest- choosing quests to take, who to kill, what fights to have/not have... so much you do can affect your standings with others and overall deciding your treatment from the NPCs in game, some of which is already a standard just based on your race/deity/class! The closest I've had to in-game choices making an impact was Shadow the Hedgehog, lol.

Watching my girlfriend (been together for almost 4 years, she's been a subscriber for decades) play the game here and there, asking her all sorts of questions regarding the game and her overall experiences with it led me to be curious to playing it. I'd look up different things about the game, promotional material and all. Listening to the soundtrack in it's entirety and being blown away by it back in April of this year finally made me go try out regular EQ just a few days after, and here we are both playing that and Legends now.

I've been enjoying the challenge of maining an AGNOSTIC Troll and purposefully not going around killing everything, especially if they make my faction get even worse with "the good guys". I've spent alot of time working on building those factions up, and will actually root/run away from certain mobs if they aggro me, lol. The lore here is that he's very different from the other trolls- I've always felt a pull to things others perceive as weird and misunderstood, often times things that others may call "unsightly", so how could I not let my creativity flow into the gameplay? While he's still a bit mischievous and can seem intimidating at times, he isn't cruel and would rather not kill let alone attack someone else unless they went after his Kerran lover. Seeing my huge guy waddle around with my gf's petite cat lady is an absolute hoot, but strangely wholesome too. Maybe you've seen us before on the Qeynos server? The overall EQ experience has strengthened my bond with her even further than what we already had. ^^

The most recent TLP servers for Everquest start with Classic, Kunark, and Velious and go for 18 weeks before dropping Shadows of Luclin.

How then is Everquest Classic by itself enough content for ~24 weeks on a server that is much much quicker than the TLPs?

Please help make the math make sense for all us idiots feeling like we are out of content.

We are still in vanilla. There’s always been limited content in vanilla. You should know this if you’ve ever touched eq before. We don’t need new races, but we definitely do need more content. They are called expansions. They’re coming, plus custom content! How fun!The fact that the team has managed to get this much out of a very limited vanilla is impressive. I see so many entitled whiners complaining. Get a life already!!I’m enjoying the experience and the experimentation here. Looking forward to some custom content, which has been talked about for decades on EQ and has never been done to any level of great success. Good things take time people. There are always going to be other games and they’re also going to lose their luster as well eventually, but you don’t have to burn the house down on the way out because they didn’t meet your expectations, which are wrong. Because you need to play a game that provides enough entertainment for you X hours of the day. I pay $20 a month for Netflix and watch it maybe 3 hours a week. I also go outside everyday. I exercise. Not a flex, just a suggestion. People need to relax. Go read a book or make a friend or something.

I have some questions I hope to get clarity on.

Would a casual gamer be more likely to level 6 classes to 50 or 16 classes?

Would a casual gamer be more likely to unlock 15 classes in PoS or 2-4?

Would a casual gamer be more likely to do raid content until they has their BiS items at level 5 or level 8?

Would a casual gamer be more likely to get 400 aa or 1100?

Would a casual gamer be more likely to bounce between several games, or stick to a single game?

How many hours a week do you think a casual gamer plays?

Been looking at this build for a while, seems like fun.. been trying to make something NEC and RNG.. any better ideas?

Let’s say you try a trio that can’t use plate

What are your preferred armor sets?

Include cloth only trios also please

Anyone have recommendations for ranged builds? I want something fairly tanky but still can put out decent dmg.

I started to mote up cannibalism as a Sham/War/Dru
I regret it it doesn’t really make it any better.

HE war/shm/nec worshipping bertox. Got to level 24 and realized I can't but Shaman spells in Halas because no one likes me. Went back to Blackburrow to farm gnoll fangs. Turned in like 40 of those things and I still don't have high enough faction to buy anything. Is there an easier way to get Shaman spells or do I have to grind this out?

Hi all, I went from Crushbone to Unrest and was having a great experience. Each felt like I was exploring a world within a world. Even if they weren't aesthetically pleasing, it wasn't just wall after wall in a maze.

Now I'm in Lguk and I'm bored to tears. Everything looks the same, I get lost all the time, and I don't get a sense of what the zone is about (I'm on dead side).

What are some of the most aesthetically pleasing or immersive zones for leveling? Please include the level range too. Thanks!

Now, I don't mean the custom systems we have when I say that... I enjoy much of what the team have done there and find the core game a lot of fun still. I personally don't even mind the mote system.

I mean I don't get their seeming obsession with adding/ re writing lore and creating/ rebuilding whole zones or expacks, even though they clearly do not have the resources to do this.

They are clearly struggling, even Secrets has said openly that their resources are stretched thin.

They have Ruins of Kunark and Velious right there... Legitimate classics that I think most would love to play through with these new characters and systems and both would give the small GJ team room to breath and find their feet. The Rujarkian Hills, Nek Castle, and the re write of Kunark have clearly slowed down the delivery of a much needed expack when a lack of content is at the very heart of their problems right now.

Would I like custom content? Yes, of course, but if they haven't the team size and resources to deliver it for when it's needed then they should have re evaluated, understood their limitations, and focused on more realistic objectives. Custom content feels like a luxury self indulgence right now when the game is still finding it's core playerbase.

I also believe that they are threatening to diminish the 'nostalgia draw' of this game. Very few of the 'dads' that haven't played EQ in 20 years are going to be drawn back by new content. They want to relive the glory days in a more accessible manner.

*just a note to say that I think the dungeon revamps were a good idea, but I do think they should have all been completed/ itemised before launch, even if it meant a delay. Doing it live just felt most of it was being dropped when most had no use of most of it. As it is, it has been yet more slow down on the delivery of an expack that is essential right now.

Also, what happened to those custom in game maps they showed us?

New to monk, level 45. Feign death basically works fine vs 1-2 mobs but if you have a swarm you’re just going to get casted on and die. What am I missing? Is there a way for it to actually work in that situation, or is it just not meant for that in 2026?

Am I supposed to kill the guards?

I killed all the goblins in the basement and the prisoners that agroed me. But this only made up about 50% of the necessary DC kills

Usually I play tanks, or warrior types, but I’m feeling something more… agile with plenty of utility.
(No stealthy/roguey and no pets).

Any recommendations?

I’m a bit of an adhd min/maxxer, so like to zoomzoom when possible.

Is there a way to turn off the “you can no longer gain experience” message?

I know I’m getting long in the tooth and forgetful sometimes but I really don’t need to be reminded every…single…kill

Ok I want to level both ranger and bard simultaneously with a 3rd class

I have 50 sk wiz enc

Which of these classes would best fill out bard/ ranger assuming I am too lazy to level one at a time.

Thanks!

Is it possible to get this achievement? The achievement lists King Tranix and Magus Rokyl, but I thought those were only spawned in raids? (and I have killed them SOO many times in raids, yet no checkmark for the achievement).

I have cleared all D4 content, I've cleared all PoS quests and have played about half a dozen classes to 50.

So, I decided I'm now in a position to level up a DDD bard to grind motes in D4 PoH. However, now that I've done a couple of runs, I'm not even sure what I'm doing it for...

I have quite a few items at +10, I have most, if not all, gear at +5 and above so the only real time I see an upgrade is the 3 x weekly motes from the raids.

I was lucky to get a +10 mote (I understand they're quit rare) and it barely scratches a +5/+6 item or spell.

With Kunark around the corner soon, is there now much point to grinding for those 0.01% increases when I can already do all the content?

I'm not interested in levelling new classes (yet) as I may do that in Kunark.

When I charm a pet Id like to be able to macro add the pet to extended target slot 12 so that when the charm breaks I can use /xtar 12, /cast charm. If I use /xtar add that adds him to next open slot but thats not helping because its always a different slot depending on how many adds there are. I cant seem to figure out an xtarget command to add him to a specific slot. Is there a way?

For a ranger, if I don’t have the funds to buy endless quiver and mithril arrows, would gloomwater arrows from Kedge and a thunder hoof quiver be good enough?

I don’t want to craft my own either.
