I think its interesting the added that lore thing to the recover tab, thats lame!
My biggest complaint with pug'in is the groups that run like dog shit if you dont pull, cc, and tank for them. The best part of eq is going full autist on being as efficient as possible. Pugs will never be that of course, but some of these people are fucking brutal to play with. It's keep up with the big boys or stay home for me in TLP land.I have mixed experiences with these. I'll roll a group friendly character, and sometimes get in a few awesome groups on the journey to level cap. But more often than not I run into boxed groups that don't want to let people in, or other people just being general asshats, KSing mobs, training, just existing only to create hate or drama.
When it works as intended with social grouping, guilds etc it's awesome. But I swear the ratio of autistic to friendly people is just getting worse.
*EDIT
Also looks like they fixed the fire pet, sorry to anyone who was going to roll mage because of it
- Fixed a bug that caused low level fire pets to cast an incorrect spell in eras prior to Planes of Power.
Does that mean what I think it does? Sounds like it was able to effectively dupe stuff like evolving items and other things that share lore groups?
I think of bad groups as a difficulty level. Easy is a guild group, medium is a typical pug. Hard is 2 smokers, a babysitter, and a couple stoners.
no idea but people that farm stuff like hiero cloaks could destroy multiple then reclaim then later so you didnt have to go to town. one of my friends has 300 prenerf COS on agnarr in his reclaim, lol.

During the Lockjaw TLP I'd regularly drop characters from my box set to let people group with me, I always preferred the company while still being able to function even if they were useless. The few "groups" that I did solo were usually just awful and couldn't clear stuff as fast as I could with my little 6-box crew anyways.
I'd do this TLP if they decided to do something actually fun with the mechanics, like introduce Beastlords/Berserkers as part of the initial start. I imagine this takes a shitload of work to accomplish, so am not surprised they aren't doing it, just don't see the point in grinding through Classic + Kunark for the millionth time.
If I were willing to do this TLP and it wasn't single-box I would Instead I'm jerking off on Live in my spare time.Bring my cleric along bro.
I got heals and feels.

a DPS only druid that gave her ODS to a charm pet so she could roll on the one that dropped.
