I wanted to dust off an old character, which stopped in broken mirror on one of the TLPs. I'm a one toon person, not even alts! Always been that way.
I realized there's no good way to get back to max level on a live server. There is still a raid guild around, but obviously I'm nowhere near requirements. Plus, I would like to see some of the group progression and zones from the expacs I've missed.
Started looking into boxing options. At first I thought I'd just 2 box up some characters, join my main when they get to like 80, and use mercs to fill out the group. As I kept researching, it eventually led me here, and yesterday I finally got things going and...holy crap. It's a pretty amazing experience! Just using the nav and RGMercs stuff for now, while I drive my tank. I added on a third new character, and took my 3 box + 3 mercs through the tutorial stuff. Pretty smooth! Although I'm sure I'll have some newbie questions later.
I think at this point I think I'm gonna just create 2 more boxes too (probably bst and zerk, always wanted to check those 2 out) to join my existing 3 (shd/shm/mage), then my old "main" which is a bard.
Anyways, yeah! It's like a whole new world of EQ is about to open up. Pretty excited! Plus long weekend coming up, should be good time for some grinding. Maybe we'll get an exp bonus too.
