Being puller is great for the first hour of a camp. Then after it's nice being in the camp so you can catch up on Netflix and just spam the same abilities over and over.

i get the ones that want more relaxed. You have time to chat with guild/group, friends. Watch other screen, etc. Just too boring for me after doing it for so long. its even more exciting if I have to pull and be the CC

Don't play a melee during release if you don't want to pull because it will fall to you because everyone else will be medding. Did a warrior as first character last time, was pulling more than I was tanking. Not like you can hold aggro anyway while casters blow everything up in 2 casts.

I feel the same way. Back in the 2000's I was a monk and was constantly active, couldn't imagine the boredom of sitting in camp. Spent so much time monking that I was probably one of the fastest pullers on the server in addition to being in the top 3 monks on the server on stats (we traded positions within those 3). Never a dull moment to say the least.
Now I'm old and slow and prefer to stay in camp, though there are times when I want to pull again. One of the reasons I like SK the most is that I can take charge and pull when needed/wanted/to speed things up, but am not --expected to- the way a monk or bard would since my primary role is to tank. Gives me a bit of leeway to be, well, old and slow.

fuck i have no idea wtf any of that means.
I literally only played original, kunark, and Velious, then briefly in POP. I skipped luclin because cats on the fucking moon was the gayest most immersion breaking lore pivot in the history of gaming.
Is this game playable with 1 character or is multiboxing required? Boxing has no appeal to me. tbh I really don't have much nostalgia for EQ1 gameplay at all but it would be nice to see some old original content if its still around.
Is old content still in or is it all new/different? what about original items are they around? Like Guise of the Deceiver (was changed to mask and made rogue/bard only). how about rubicite? or shit like mana stones or pegi cloaks? or is everything just watered down +gooder stats retail shit?
honestly i'm just bored leveling my 6th 80 in WOTLK classic waiting for the next phase to come out.

I came back 2 years ago ( since quitting in 2003 ) for Mischief. A lot has changed. Takes some time to get used to. Mainly interface, commands, quality of life stuff. Positive changes really, but it's a lot to learn. The advanced loot window, still confuses me sometimes... lol. Plenty of old school feels though. Most of the dungeons still felt the same to me. Most of the zones really. I caught the EQ bug again for sure. You don't need to box at all. I just played one toon on Mischief and Yelinak. Lots of people still go that route. You might want to pick a sought after xp group class though. It took me a couple expansions on Mischief before I started to get the feel for all the changes, but I felt pretty comfortable on Yelinak's launch.

This is a shit server to start a melee on unless you are the only one, in a static, and its not a warrior or rogue even still. Make a mage, level your mage, farm shit on your mage, and then when you really want to suffer just transfer the gear and level the melee with a 10% bonus.

Yep. Mage, Enchanter, and Druid are all solid mains to farm shit with early-on before transferring things to your actual main later.
Especially if you want to main a Beastlord or Zerker, since they straight-up aren't available. But in general it's advantageous to plow your farming with the above and then maybe main change a month in or something.

It's 1 character per computer until OoW, so multiboxing is fine if you use a separate PC for each.
I suspect many will be multiboxing as usual because a second character just adds so much capability. You can certainly go far with just a single character depending on what your goals are. If you just want to group and raid Classic-PoP you will be fine, the further past that you get the harder groups become to find and the more a second/third account becomes the difference between getting stuff done and logging off.

I’m thinking of going in on a bard, I know it will be hell but I’ve played a bard to 70 with 110 AA on mangler but started in POP so I never did classic bard. Also never raided bard.
How viable is charm kiting on TLP in classic? What is old world raiding like for a bard beyond twisting resists and mana? I feel like I don’t remember them being on pull teams ever. Just curious the role. I’m super newb on raiding in general. I have probably 20 max level characters over the years just never got sweaty, just liked the thrill of the hunt. Figure now is the time to try it for something to do after the kids go to bed now that I’m California sober lol

Oakwynd hype seems to be building up decent, more than I saw for Yelinak atleast and it turned out ok. I still stick to my thought that oakwynd will be more popular than Yelinak but less than Mischief.
This assumes that FTE is not a complete disaster.

Every group is better for having a bard. You are not expected to pull until Planes for groups but the good ones still can however its more of a practice and location thing. Plus every group will have a couple monks, one of them should be pulling in dungeons. Noone will really care if you have to go afk for a reasonable time as you are always contributing.
Charm kiting works but I never liked soling in EQ, but I've seen it done, its okay but soloing in EQ is OKAY at best really anyways.
Raiding on a bard is probably the most boring shit I have ever done however, so really if you can box one even if its set as your main I recommend it for raids.
