Funny, most people say you don't start having fun untill at *least* lvl 15
or so...
it was that way for me.

LOL, if you had researched this, you would know that to purchase a building
or boat would cost more platinum than *anyone* could possibly have right
now, last I heard anything about it, it was going to be in the tens of
millions
of platinum for a small building... THAT'S whay you don't see any player run
anything yet.

Kill-Stealing is a problem. I've solo'd my Warrior to level 17, and still
going
strong (less than one bubble per level achieved in groups...). Things
aren't
hard to target, there's a key to target the nearest enemy, and you can
always /assist.
In the mornings there's @ 600 people on, that's not crowded, try playing
off-peak
times. This game does NOT have more bugs than UO, I've played both since
their respective beta's, including retail in both, and there is no
comparison.

A Wizard is an excellent class, everyone I've ever met has nothing but good
things to say about wizards. At level 15 I was making roughly 5-10 plat
every
couple of hours in Crushbone.

It's never taken me three hours to get my corpse, even if I die on another
continent.
I play three nights a week, for usually 6-12 hours depending on how I'm
doing, and
usually only get booted from my ISP, never 3 times a day has the server went
down
since the first few weeks of realease.

No ALT-TAB is there for a reason, so EQ doesn't end up like the afore
mentioned
UO... Meditate for 30 Minutes? It doesn't even take that long for my Warrior
to sit and
heal, I think this is an exaggeration, or you never bought Meditation skill.
Diablo II I'm looking foreward to, but it's not the same type of game as EQ,
the Diablo
world is a long way from letting hundreds of people play at once on same
server(s).
Asheron's Call? well, I've read a *lot* about it, and well, I'm not
impressed, didn't like
the graphics, didn't like the races (all three, all forms of 'human'),
didn't like much about it,
but if that's your bag, go for it, cause obviously EQ ain't for you.

you of some things. First off dont expect to have fun for long... I admit
new...after that all the newer spells look the same ...yep every one they
just show different numbers. Also if you are gonna be a caster dont expect
the fizzing to agravate ya because you will hit things for up to 80% less of
what they are supposed to hit. And thats if you even get to cast ...you see
its all timing if you dont time your spells right your distracted and thus

fail to see how AC with its 2 year old crappy graphics hopes to hold a

How long did you play? To level 5, maybe 6? Level 1 to 4 all you do is step two
feet out from the city gates and bash Wasps and Bats! You have no risk
involved, and can level in about 30 mins of play time! If you thought that was
FUN, then are in for a big suprise at later level, cause it's a blast actually
exploring and going out past the safety of the guards.
Well thats because the spells were
>new...
After 4 level you get a new rank of completely new spells. Try again.
after that all the newer spells look the same ...yep every one they
>just show different numbers.
Does Gate look the same as Shock of Ice? Does Minor Shielding look the same as
Root? Nope! Try again.
Also if you are gonna be a caster dont expect

Yes it does, if you're casting at things 5 levels above you! If you're
casting at things equal or below your level, they will hit for close or max
damage 90% of the time. Hmm, nope. Try again.
And thats if you even get to cast ...you see
>its all timing if you dont time your spells right your distracted and thus

Do you have ADD? What are you on, that might clear it up. Spells are
interupted, not "distracted" buddy. And yes, you MIGHT have to time your
spells, but most things hit so slowly that shouldnt be a problem at low levels.
Try..yes, I'm going to say it...GROUPING WITH A TANK! Do I even have to say
that? Nope on that point. Try again.
Ok with that out of the way what about the player owned
>establishments and Ships, boats etc they promiced in the FAQ on EQ Webpage.
I've never seen the promice anything. They may have promised that, at later
levels, a player with tons of cash CAN buy an establishment or horse, ect...
Are you sad that at level 4, you cant get a house yet? Darn, back to UO for
you! Try again.
>I dont see any besides there boat that dont show up for 45 minutes real

Grammar, it does wonders...
Sure no pks will bother you but people will steal your already rare

Yup, I'd hate to miss out on that Wasp Wing on that VERY RARE Giant Wasp!!! I
cant believe someone would take advantage of a rare spawn like that! Too bad
you're not a Wizard, and can deal more damage faster than ANY other class in
the game. OH WAIT! You are a Wizard! Try again.
You HAVE to be in a group to live long. Things are hard to target!
I can relate to this one! I have to click my friggin' mouse button to target!
Hehehe, this made me laugh. Try again.
>The servers are overcrowded! The game has more bugs than Ultima online.
Switch servers. What bugs have affected you? Or, are you just pulling things
you've "heard" from your arse?
>Wizards are as weak as they come... yeah dont expect to even have fun with
>wizards they totally ruined the class.
I pray this is sarcasm. Or, you are a total moron. I play a Wizard, and they
are by FAR one of the most powerful classes. No, they arent Tank Mages.
Sorry, you'll have to be a Druid if you want a Tank Mage. =) I knew you were
an idiot when I read this comment BTW. Try again.
Cash is hard to come by... even at
>level 20 to get a platinum or 2 is like pulling teath.
I'm starting to think this is a joke post now. Let me think... When my Wizard
was level 20 it had about 150 plat in the bank, Runed Totem, Woven armor, all
intelligence jewlry (expensive), and 2 backpacks full of Mino Axes I was going
to take over to Quenyos (I decided to screw it, and sell them to merchants
later on. Hehehe). WAY off on this point. Try again.
Death is like taking
>3 hrs of RL and throwing it out the window(yes even with the patch this game

Hmm, one solution comes to mind... DONT DIE! It's not that friggin' hard!
Only solo easy blues, and group for anything harder! As a caster you should be
in the back of fiso when you see the group is not doing so well, call "Run
everybody!" and split!
The servers will boot you offline at least 3 times a day where you
>have to click on accept (the agreement) every time.
You play a day at a time? Try a life, does wonders. Oh no! That sounds
horrific! You're telling me you have to click on "Accept" every time you enter
the game! NO! NOT THAT!
/sarcasm
Big freekin' deal! Try again.
You cant Alt Tab to

I have an idea. Group up and talk to friends while you meditate! You do know
what friends are, right? Nevermind, I dont want to explain them to you... Try
again.
I could go on but you should get the

I'd like to meet this Variant you speak of. Can you introduce him to me? I
dont think Dia-blow II is much of a threat to EQ, people are tired of that
sort of thing. I'll see you in AC! I pray to god there's PvP so I can kick
your arse when I see you.

Imagine 100 of boats sailing the OOT....there would be nothing special in
traveling between continents.
Isnt there any pioneer feeling for you traveling form Faydark to Antonica ?
I was very excited,
when i crossed the OOT the first time. And waiting for the boat can be very
funny too
(but only if you like to talk and are a nice guy and others like to talk to
you *hint* *hint* *hint*).
>Sure no pks will bother you but people will steal your already rare

(well, might be a problem, when you arent able to get friends because of
your behaviour !?)

No problems with targeting here.

Group, chase highlevelmonsters and enjoy the loot (if it's what you realy
want !)

Well, ok, death sux anyway. Yes you "waste" alot of time getting your things
back. True.
But for sure, you will die less when you are grouped with good and reliable
friends.

to every little thing.
You didn't play your wizard right and got your ass kicked a lot so you're
blaming it on the class. You couldn't find out a good way to find money so
you're blaming it on the game economy. You couldn't target things so you
blamed it on bugs. You didn't know where to hunt so you blamed it on and
overcrowding.
Doesn't even sound like you played the game to me, or at least very good at
that. You have to time your attacks with your wizard if you're stuck in
melee also, that's the way it it. No one (if spell casters actually
exsisted) could consentrate to get a spell off if someone was beating the
shit out of them, they'd get interrupted every time they got hit. So it's
like that in the game. Just because you can't get the hang of it doesn't
mean that the programmers did something wrong. You hunt in certain areas
and certain mobs to get more money. Just because you couldn't find the
richer mobs doesn't mean that the programmers failed. I don't know HOW you
could be having targeting problems. If something is in front of you and you
click on it, it gets targeted. If you meant to target something a little
ways off and there is someone slightly in front of you you'll accidently
target them. That's your fault not the programmers. Get a clear path to
the mob to target it. Overcrowding is only a problem when a new server
starts up and everyone is in the same place. As people advance they spread
out to different areas. Just because you decided to stay in a heavy
populated area is not the fault of the programmers. This is suppose to be a
massive multiplayer game that mimics a fantasy world. A world that has
populates of people. Populations of people crowd up in certain areas.
That's they way it is in real life also. Why would a population of people
behave any differently here? They're still a population of real people
behind those high elves, barbarians, gnomes etc.
There will always be people gathering together in certain areas when you
have a population. That's not the fault of the programmers either. You'll
have to blame human nature on that one.

At level 20 you can make one (count it ONE) kill and get a plat easy (in
cash) or make that same kill and luck up and get several plat. In an
hour of hunting i made over 20 plat.

I thought levels 1 through 4 were rather boring. Kill, kill, kill....level.
After level 4 I felt comfortable enough to explore and group to take on
bigger targets.
Also if you are gonna be a caster dont expect

Sure.... If you are a level 1 wizard and you attack a Prince Kilknic or
something. Let me tell about a nifty feature in EQ, it's called "consider".
If you take blues as a low level wizzie, you do much better. Plus, don't
expect your spells to be full power when you just learn them. You'll get
more effect with them as your skills climb.
And thats if you even get to cast ...you see

Did you train in channeling? Did you practice timing your spells? Were you a
no skill tank-mage lamer in UO?
Ok with that out of the way what about the player owned

I've been following EQ in nesgroups and IRC throughout developement, and at
no time have I seen and promises for player owned boats and establishments
during the first release. They said they MAY add these in later, but I
wouldn't count on it.
>I dont see any besides there boat that dont show up for 45 minutes real

Wow, you're knocking a well documented feature of this game. A boat that
people have to wait for.
Here is a word for you to look up in the dictionary... realism.

Either that, or you just suck playing a REAL wizard.

34, 35, 36, 37..... Sorry, just counting all the plat my level 14 has in the
bank. I'd have much more if I wasn't striving at becoming a blacksmith.
>Death is like taking

No you suck. Death should be avoided like the plague. You probably invite it

Spell effects change at level 24 and 39(?) Also, as you raise there are
different effects for different spells. Spells in the same series will
look the same until you get to 24 and then 39.

That's why you group with a melee class, so they can attack and take
damage allowing you to cast. As a druid, I've no problem even while
lagged getting off enough casts to kill creatures. Later you'll find you
can recover interrupted casts as well.

I pray they never implement this; look what happened in UO. What a mess.

Pay to gate to other continents. Or wait and raise your skills while you
do.

This happens now and again, but its not something that happens even 10%
of the time to me.

I've soloed to level 17. This will vary based on class. A friend soloed
his wizard to level 21. Your mileage may vary. You will eventually have
to group.
>Things are hard to target!
If you can't click on a monster; well, theres nothing I can do to help

Not really. Sit in a newbie zone and sure it will be. As you level, you
can spread out. Certain zones with what people percieve to be must have
items are overcrowded; the zones i frequent have less than 20 people in
them.
>The game has more bugs than Ultima online.
Not even close. I played UO from pre alpha to final and ended up
quitting because it was riddled with server side lag and terrible bugs.
> Wizards are as weak as they come... yeah dont expect to even have fun

My pal at level 21 was having quite a bit of fun and was smacking down
his enemies quite handily.
>Cash is hard to come by...even at level 20 to get a platinum or 2 is

I made 28 plat last night and am level 17. Don't what you're doing. Quit
killing fire beetles in the newbie zone and selling them for a silver.
>Death is like taking 3 hrs of RL and throwing it out the window(yes

Ok, you're moving into fantasy land. I died twice last night and 30
minutes later was back to where i was before, that includes running
across three zones to get my gear.
>The servers will boot you offline at least 3 times a day where

Simply not true. It either drops to the character selection screen, or
the server screen. Sounds like you're ending task and starting it again.
I was dropped 3 times last night; each time it was an ISP problem with
me and i was unable to even ping ibm.com or yahoo.com - not a Verant
problem, a general internet problem.
>You cant Alt Tab to windows to do anything like talk to friends check
email or other things

it.
> while you MEDITATE FOR 30 minutes!! I could go on but you should get
Before you get meditate, it can take time. Once I got meditate, it's 5
minutes to med and I read or talk to people in game who are medding near
me.
>Variant you can have YOUR world cause Asherons Call is on

Never heard of Atriarch, Diablo 2 will not have the depth of this; it's
what, 6 players max? My friends were all riding high when they got their
Asheron's call beta cds. They played for a week and never went back.
Oops. Maybe another time.
To sum up...You want to be level 50 at level 5. You want infinite mana.
You want the world covered in housing like UO. You want...well, it
doesn't really matter. Sit down, take a deep breath and keep playing.
The game isn't going to hand you all the world on a silver platter,
you'll have to earn like the rest of us.

Wrong! Anyone who has played both games will know this to be patently
false, especially if we compare a three month old EQ with three months
of UO. I'd hazard a guess (I don't play UO any more) that UO in its
current state still has more bugs than EQ.

im level 13.. well I was 12 until I met a cyclops, but anyways, i rarely
frizzle. get your skill in whatever magic skill field is required up and you
wont frizzle, later on you even get better at regaining concentration

tell me more.
what kind of bugs?
overcrowded just means that the game is popular and I am using @home cable
and I dont have lag at all.

they dont suck at all, maybe its just you because you find it hard to get
past level 4. (oops i think i just revealed the truth!!)
wizards are masters of offense not armor

we are all entitled to our opinions... but haha i think you went over
trying to degrade a game in the games forum wont get you anywhere neither
will it in another games forum...
maybe if you try getting past level 4 and explore a little you might find
some fun in norrath. and asherons call is microsoft stuff, dont keep your
hopes too high you might get crushed when the game dies on release day. oh
yeah 1 more thing, you sound like you are under minumum requirements. get an
upgrade a few times a year at least, k?

No shit. This person is completely inane. At level 20, i was making about
15 plat a day in certain areas. He also doesn't realize that people like
him are the ones that sue companies like Verant or OSI for stupid things
and thats WHY one has to click the AUG every time they log in.

What are you killing? A character of mine who was a level 17 SK had already made
several hundred plat, and had an SBH and full banded.....past level 12, its
extremely easy to make money in everquest.

My problem is that EQ alternates between being boring and being frustrating, I
might even delete my final character....I think the only thing that could keep
me on EQ is IF they put up the racewar server
