Grouping

[Pilchar]

How does grouping in EQ2 usually work? Right now it just seems like everyone solos quests, but if someone is in the area & is does the same quests, you group. Nothing really planned, just on-the-spot pickup groups. I'm only level 12, so I'm not sure if it is like this for the rest of the game. Once you get to higher levels, are there actual areas people gravitate around to xp, and then groups are formed there? Do most groups do instances, or are there camps that people gravitate to? Is grouping essentially just grinding/xping with a few quests thrown in? Or is it the same as what I described above? [Basically, is it like older MMOs (EQOA is what I'm thinking: little quests, most xp is grinding) or more like WoW (I only got to level 30, but there didn't really seem to be many groups)] Why I care: I'm making a dirge, and they get groups pretty easily and are not too sharp solo. (So I've heard) If grouping is essentially just questing, and sometimes is solo content, I'm not really sure I want to be a Dirge..since they can't solo too well.

Normally the person putting the group togethure has an agenda be it XP grind or quest.</span> [Basically, is it like older MMOs (EQOA is what I'm thinking: little quests, most xp is grinding) or more like WoW (I only got to level 30, but there didn't really seem to be many groups)]</p><p><span style="color: #ff0000">By far the "Fastest" way to lvl is group and do heroic quests (Close second is being solo and doing solo quests). Questing is the only way to lvl as far as im concerned. The XP grind isnt bad but when your killing a mob and getting credit for 3-5 quests all at once you will see what i mean.</span> Why I care: I'm making a dirge, and they get groups pretty easily and are not too sharp solo.

Its just more time consuming for some classes. If you can deal with killing a bit slower then you will be fine.</span> </p><img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/styles/EQ2/eq2_kos/images/common/spacer.gif" border="0">
