I'm a former EQ player who played a rogue until a few months after the Kunark release (back when Rogues never got any love in groups...) and recently stepped back in a year or two ago. The live servers didn't seem particularly awesome for solo players and I don't have the time anymore to LFG regularly. I came across the RedGuide version of MQ2 and Kiss. I have a few general questions about boxing experiences but some specific questions about the test server.
1) With Kiss and VV MQ2 it seems pretty easy to get a 6-box setup up and running. Is it advisable to start at a 6-box or would a lower number plus mercs be preferable? My main goal is to get a good shot of nostalgia from the original zones and content while leveling groups up.
2) I've seen some concerns elsewhere related to Monks and Zerkers as not optimal for boxing due to their positional requirements. However, in a Kiss tutorial video I saw that a rogue can auto position behind the mob. I presume other classes can work just as well?
3) For someone who'd prefer spending subscription related money on RedGuides vs multiple accounts for boxing, is it suggested to play on the Test server? I've heard this server is a great place to play to experience some of the pay-to-play benefits but there's a potential risk of characters being deleted. Is this the case? Is it preferable to just do F2P on the normal server?
4) Beyond the intro guides are there any more intermediate or advanced guides folks would recommend?
