The tutor...Sweet! Add me to friends when you do :)<br /><br />The tutorial goes pretty fast once you get going. Then you should be out of there around 10-12. <br /><br />I'll try to hook you up with some potions and a few things to start you off once I catch up to you in game. I have a few sk things in the bank I think.kaozzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15058067791146704803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787395619953110652.post-45173582572805666032011-01-17T20:33:32.265-06:002011-01-17T20:33:32.265-06:00Thanks Kaozz.

Gotta finish that blasted tutorial zone!

It's...If you want to make a SK I say go for it. It's a very fun and durable class with lots of survival. It is a tank class but they still solo well. With mercs this is really easy compared to how it use to be. And once you have enough AA points you don't even have to use a merc with all the healing and life tapping procs they have access to.<br /><br />My husband, Dire, plays one as his main and most of the time he is out soloing w/o a merc. He has around 1100 aa points and works 7days a week 10 hours a day. He got them rather quickly and still enjoys the class. Don't let AA points stop you as you can gain them with some effort. <br /><br />He puts my bst to shame but she is only 76 while he is 85 with far more AA. <br /><br />Beastlords got a bit of a buff with this expansion but I don't think it is seen until the higher levels, for the most part. They are quite fun, I am going to pick her back up once I can transfer her to FV<br /><br />If you want the ultimate solo class Mage is the way to go! But play what is the most fun for you. Look at me, I'm playing a Rogue... I am aiming for the day when I have enough AA points and levels- When she really will shine! <br /><br />I'm not trying to candy coat the game but it's really not hard to solo anymore, not easymode but easy enough with the right content, if your having trouble then try somewhere else. <br /><br />Now on the progression server I'd go Mage all the way. Or Cleric... Never LFG! It's going to be a long hard road there. People remember the good memories but it really isn't all roses. Long corpse runs, no rezzes sometimes, No way to sell anything besides /ooc in the ECT, running slow as hell... Mobs owing you an everyday thing. Not to be a wet blanker but sometimes those days scare me!<br /><br />I don't know if my poor heart could take the stress again! I'm sure there will be good times to be had though.kaozzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15058067791146704803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787395619953110652.post-58449494132525893442011-01-17T19:40:19.485-06:002011-01-17T19:40:19.485-06:00Thanks again for the input.

I would put it somewhere between LoTRO and EQ2. <br /><br />The Drakkin can't be beastlords :( Only Troll, Barbarian, Ogre and VaShir. The Drakkin are supposedly a human/dragon 'hybrid' race. They are the newest addition to Norrath and they look a bit different than the Lulcin models because they are much newer. <br /><br />The lore for them is 'The Drakkin are an artifical race created by six breakaway dragons of the Nest. The breakaway dragons, calling themselves the Circle of the Crystalwing, kidnapped humans and infused them with draconic power. The six dragons, now found in Crescent, created six unique types of Drakkin.'<br /><br />The game is very solid and rewarding but it also requires more time than most typical MMO games, it's not really on rails and it can be confusing because of this. I say, get a real good feel for it with the trial to see how much you like it. There won't be as many quests while leveling like the trial though. More so heading to hotzones and grinding levels. Which will go very fast 1-60. It slows down a bit after that. More so after 70 but it's not horrible. And don't forget to work on Alternate Advancement after 51, they really impact the character you play, the more the better! <br /><br />Not to scare you away but I thought I'd give you some insight before you subbed so you know exactly what to expect! It's a great game though :)kaozzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15058067791146704803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787395619953110652.post-61175630997831690152011-01-17T09:03:58.035-06:002011-01-17T09:03:58.035-06:00Heyo.

Just managed to read and comment on this now, even if I have this one page up perpetually. :)<br /><br />I'll go and finish the Escape to Norrath line before making a decision as to whether or not to sub. Right now, it's pretty likely that I'll buy the Thule release so I can get housing (I LOVE HOUSING!) at later levels.<br /><br />That said, What is the Drakkin Race, and can they be Beastlords?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787395619953110652.post-75661288784779615642011-01-17T02:41:29.581-06:002011-01-17T02:41:29.581-06:00Hey Victor!

They are quite strong in that 'time period'. <br /><br />I have one of each (83 Mage, 76 Bst) and they solo very well, the mage is probably one of, if not, the best solo class in the game.<br /><br />Currently I am playing my Rogue and it's probably the WORST solo class in the game lol. Mercs help out a bit when I have to though ;)<br /><br />Not sure what I'd make for the progression server. Still thinking it over.kaozzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15058067791146704803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787395619953110652.post-91078768667169699532011-01-16T23:46:03.954-06:002011-01-16T23:46:03.954-06:00hi again!

For starters I'd say stick to hotzones, bind in PoK or the guild lobby and grab a merc for when you can;'t find a group. <br /><br />It's a lot to take in starting out but it's really a rewarding game once you get the hang of it. What class do you plan on playing? <br /><br />you can't right click to con mobs but the c key will con them. H for hailing to trigger quest mob dialogue. Once you get to the bazaar /baz opens the window to engage in the search. Merchant Tekrama sells trader satchels to sell items in. To start selling in the baz you stand in the 'stalls' and type /trader.<br /><br />Just the basic info I can think off the top of my head! If you have any others you can't find answers to feel free to ask!<br /><br />@ Lono- Aw, maybe I'll pop in LoTRO and say hi sometime. We miss playing you and Troll!kaozzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15058067791146704803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787395619953110652.post-20310739825610213762011-01-16T16:10:37.602-06:002011-01-16T16:10:37.602-06:00I'm really happy for you there.
