“EQ2 has "mentoring" which sort of lowers the level of the character to a chosen one for the duration. One can mentor another character in the group (giving the mentee an XP bonus as well) or 'self-mentor' via an NPC in one of the city zones. There are special quests, too, one can do while mentored. It can be handy to help a group mate catch up if they're a few levels lower, or even to group with a newer player/character of a much lower level to power level. BUT, while the skills (and equipment) are supposed to scale down while mentored, they're still drastically higher than a character of that level. Spells/skills and gear 'progression' is a lot different in EQ2 than EQ. I'm not sure EQ would be capable of handling similar.”

All I'm talking about is just for them to have made a shrouds that would be geared with no trade defiant armor appropriate for that level and all the normal skills/abilities/spells that the class would have at that level. So that a monk would not have to play a shroud that has rogue in the name that does a bunch of non-monk attack things just to have FD. Make the character's class be unlocked by default but you have to do something specific to unlock different classes.

“Old Man McKenzie missions were great, people played together, it built a community within PoK, and socializing happened.

So I protested when OMM missions were nerfed to the point of being unusable.

One of the developers argued that people weren't exploring the full world but were instead playing in instances with a shrouded character. I found this to be a weak argument, because raids happen in instances too.

But how can you now argue that Overseer is fine. People don't even play with a shrouded character, they don't play the game at all. There is zero socializing. It's just a window where people click a few times and log off. It's idiotic.”

This is 100% correct. People micromanage their EQ experience from the Guild Hall. Finding a group these days is more than a nightmare then ever before. Overseers has litterally been the worse thing for socialization for EQ.

“They've done it more than once. It reminds me of the question: How many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop? The world may never know, even though the owl bit in after 3. ”

Exactly! I think the top three is another thread. *CRUNCH*
