Because too many people box PL their alts, groups were far too rare.

Hence me wanting to find at least one person to start with, even duoing would be highly preferable to soloing. I'm not a boxing fan myself so I kinda ruled that out as well.

Sounds bad. The only reason I would ever want to play EQ is for good group content. Raids, soloing, small groups and mediocre group content is all done far better elsewhere. To me the one main attraction of this game would have been to do Lguk or Sebilis or whatever with a good team.

Why in God's name isn't there a broadcast before the server reboots? Or a forced character save? Nothing like dinging 15 seconds before the server goes down, then logging back in and seeing I'm at 74% into the previous level. And those 'soandso saved.' messages are bullshit, because I got one 4 minutes before being kicked.

I don't want to be 'that guy', but christ. It's gotta be one line in a shutdown script or something.

Yeah no server broadcast before a reboot sucks. For future reference though i believe Hobart wil announce all unscheduled downtime here:http://forums.station.sony.com/eq/in...discussion.35/

I should mention that I lost about an hour's worth of exp. I strongly suggest that people force a save by zoning or camping if they get a valuable drop.

I just got to level 13 with my troll warrior Swag, my girlfiend just got 17 on her druid. We normally play 2-4 hours a night during the week and 6-8 hours each on saturday / sunday. We are on mountain standard time though so I do not know how that would work for you.

Like Blue, you gotta be a little more proactive to get groups going. IE make the groups yourself. Good to see dev work is being done to eqmac, I imagine pop will slowly increase from here on out.

Pretty much this. When i leveled i did 1 to 20 solo, it was the most painful thing in any MMO i've ever done (on a warrior, sigh). Almost made me quit, but i started looking around for people my level at prime time (forget middle of the day) and arrange groups. After a while we had a regular exp group going and went through other zones than the XP highway of Alkabor, it wasn't as efficient but sure was a lot more fun.
Even then i still had many a night where i didn't do shit because not everyone was on, however situation is vastly different now since the accounts are F2P and everyone super box their alts to victory.
If any of you need help for shit like seb keys, buffs or a port or w/e send me a tell in game, i don't really have alts nowadays but if you make it to 46 i'll gladly do a PoJ trial for you and help ya xp in valor for a bit though.

I've got 11 war/clr been sort of waiting on friends to roll here but they aren't showing too much promise. I'm totally down for scheduled groups.

Decided to start back up my War/Sham duo. If anyone is in the level 30-35 range keep an eye out for Squishem and Tearia. I normally play after 10pm EST and I'm willing to go pretty much anywhere.

Right before I get to character selection window, it gives me that black "You have been disconnected" screen. Anyone have a clue how I fix this?

Your eqw.dll file is getting caught by your antivirus, you pretty much have to disable everything to play EQmac.

Is that what it definitely is? I tried to disable everything.

One issue I'm having is that my computer is 64 bit, but editing the ini file to 64 won't work.
Specifically:
VideoModeBitsPerPixel=
BitsPerPixel=

I save them to 64, but if I exit the file and come back in, they are back to 32.

Edit: Disabled avast, even turned off windows firewall, still getting the issue.

Edit 2: Turns out that avast had deleted the .dll file, I recopied it over - success!

I started too, my UI seems to be ok although I get an error message in red every time I zone, but it seems to have no ill effects so far. Did you follow the instructions on page 1 carefully? They are kinda complicated and so easy to make a little mistake.
