Hi,
Another looong lost player coming back to check out the game. It's been a while - since 2001. Initially, I just wanted to wander Norrath for pure nostalgia purposes... and then I happened across this site.
I have 3 accounts tagged as silver but with all chars deleted except for a 60 rogue (my old main) and 60 enchanter (wife's main) that we raided with back in the day. I put together a 5 box team to play around on, with an emphasis on relaxed fun, not speed or efficiency: ogre warrior (silver), troll beast (silver), frog monk (silver), drakkin bard (free) and drakkin cleric (free). I also purchased a separate heroic druid to taxi and babysit this group while I learn the art of multibox'ing in EQ.
I got this group up to level 35 very quickly and it has been surprisingly fun! I used some template INI files for mule assist and I'm now getting to the point where I'm not happy with the quirks - especially on the bard. Time to read up on the technical details and write/customize my own INIs which I suspect will be as fun as playing the game itself, considering I write code IRL (hardware HDL).
Question for boxers... do you rotate which char you main on a given play session? I've been manually controlling the warrior up to this point with the others fully script controlled. I think I will start mixing it up though to keep things interesting.
Boy do I get overwhelmed when I start reading/looking ahead at future content and progression in this game! It all seems so complex. I guess I'm in no hurry to get there!
Anyhow, just popping in to say Hi to the community.
