    I'm glad to see this game is still going, and that it hasn't been (from what i can tell so far) completely re-tooled in the 10 years or so that I've been off. My account and all my characters are still alive, too, somehow.

    I'm on Skyfire starting fresh with a dirge, wondering what to expect as far as grouping and whatnot goes. Or any tips. Also looking for a casual guild if that's a thing.

    Look me up, I enjoy dumb adventures, too.

    I returned after a 5 years hiatus and here's what I know.

    Live Servers - get in a guild and get to level cap asap, or you're going to be soloing it.

    TLE Servers - go for it! Everybody is going for the same goals and there's a lot of grouping and not a lot of raising. The time locked expansions mean new updates every 16 weeks. Have fun!

    As far as grouping goes, you won't find many groups under 120 on Skyfire. Low-level grouping is found mostly on TLE. I do have some lonely Skyfire characters at low levels who would enjoy grouping. :)

    A causal guild... I'd suggest The Orphans or Causal Concept.
    The Orphans for a fun, family-friendly guild with some younger people;
    Causal Concept for a more "mature" guild (18+) with older people.

    (I'm biased so I would say The Orphans because it's my guild. ;) We have lots of funny and friendly people!)

    Welcome back!

    Come to TLE, I did live after a similar break and was less than inspired, then went to TLE and it does the job.

    Thanks, guys. Yeah i guess I shoulda expected that. Sounds like a progression server then, I've never been an ambitious player. But all my characters are on Skyfire, wonder if I can move them. I'll check out Casual Concepts, as I have a pretty relaxed filter.

    You cannot move characters from a live server to the TLE server.

    Hm, if you are on Skyfire and feel like easy progression raiding or you're a secret troll and like razzing your guildmates, come to Unholy Mercenaries. We never met an elevator we could ride properly! (LGTBQIA+ and allies with firearms)

    Kaladim is the TLE sever. It requires a subscription.

    If only that were true. I myself had taken a couple years off from EQ2. When I came back and discovered ascension, familiars, etc, I felt like a complete newb despite my account having been created way back in 2011.
  13. Hoaxes New Member

    Thank you. Yeah, I'm couple weeks in and I'm still re-learning crap every day. Mind you i was on eq2 the very first day of launch and played endlessly until about 2010. It is not like riding a bike.

    BTW wanted to say thanks for recommending Casual Concept, fantastic guild. I unfortunately had to leave to create The Mighty Mice, which is the dumbest thing I've ever done but I have no regretz.
