Hey all¡K.Is my turn to speak again..
I have stated before that as a 57 wizard, there are STILL many
things that I have not done and do still very much want to do. In
the old world, there is so much yet to discover for me, as I was one
of these players who did it seriously when doing it, but only hunted
in the more populous zones or the zones with the higher zone
experience modifiers.

I left the game a little after GoD expansion came out, Admittingly,
I never had it before I left game, I bought it a few months
afterwards. So I never got to experience any of the new zones in
GoD, let alone Omens and now the new DoN expansion. There is so very
much more for me to do when I return ( sadly it has taken much
longer than I had hoped, But still crossing fingers)

Like Wulf, I don¡¦t have any of the Dark raced toons, with the
exception of my Shadowknight ( which btw was an experiment of sorts,
but alas is another story) But short of that SK, I never spent
anytime in the dark regions, except passing through Feerott en route
to Rathe Mtns.

My wizard has 242 int unbuffed at level 57, or there abouts. His
gear isn¡¦t all that ¡§OOber¡¨ or special in anyway( ok special in the
way that no one wore the outfit on my server until I did¡K
<<<trendsetter>>). His resists are low, around 30-40 ea, at least
its around what many would consider low. But there is one thing for
sure, he gets the job done when he needs to do so.

He could have int maxxed and all the top gear that game could have
given at the time, but I did not want this to be so. I like my
wizard, he will see 70 someday,(prolly liong after the max cap goes
to 90) but he will see it. But as it is, I don¡¦t see the rush. I
have never seen the high end of the game, from what I hear its
great, and some say its another day at work. I figure I will get
there when I get there.

I have 16 toons, to play with¡Kand to me that is fun. I have not
been, nor will I be one of those players that will rush and get my
toon to 70 in weeks. Perhaps, it might be cool to have my shammy or
wizard to 70, but what then? I am not against it mind you, as most
if not all of my toons will see at least 60, many to 70. But, I am
as I have stated in the past, very short attention spanned and as
such, I don¡¦t spend a lot of time on one character unless I am
having fun. ( Everquest is fun, but as we all know there are times
when it get old and tiring and sometimes you just want to nuke
yourself just to liven it up), and I am not always having fun.

I got my key to Old Sebilis when my wizard was 54/55 or so. I got it
with some friends of mine that I had known since I began playing EQ.
We went there a few times, and for one reason or another, we
wouldn¡¦t get far and then we would quit and do something else. I
have never been back ( tried to solo once there, got lost finding
the portal and was killed by some spectre who I had made faces
at..lol)

My wizard is not Planar Flagged, though if I am not mistaken I have
done the ¡§Grummus¡¨ part in Plane of Disease. Tried to do the justice
trials, but I guess myself and my friends were to low in level or
just plain idiots, we took a total wipe and cried¡K

Eventually I will do the planar stuff, but I will wait. I had a
friend who was pushing me into doing the stuff when I played, but
alas she moved onto the EQ2..so I can take my time. º

There are many things that I do not know about the game, many just
happen to be where things are¡KI am only familiar with about half the
zones on the moon, the others..not a clue. My hunting on Kunark, is
also very limited..sans Dreadlands and the Burning Woods. I have
never hunted int Overthere, never wanted to. Tried to hunt in Cobalt
Scar, but I guess I¡¦m not liked there, some damn drake nukes me all
the time,( must take offense to the drake that follows me around¡K
lol.) But I do want to hunt there.

I have been to Kael Drakkel twice, once on an open raid that wiped
and another time with some friends who were just screwing around. I
would like to hunt there, but no one at the time wanted to go there¡K
xp sucks or nothing drops there worth the time, they say. Yes, I
have mostly hunted in zones where the xp was good or the loot was
good, but not always. I wanted to go to Kael for the sake of doing
it, because I had never been TRULY in Kael. Not to mention the
faction would have been good for me. Besides, in my opinion there is
nice loot there in Kael, just depends on what one is looking for, as
is the true value of anything.

Though I do imagine (when I am bored) of what it would be like to
see the Elemental Planes, to have my wizard and my BST all OObered
and kicking arse. I don¡¦t think it wrong or bad of anyone to go to
70 with a toon and have 200+ aa¡¦s. I will get there someday,
somehow, hopefully long before Sony pulls the little white extension
cord from the wall, and we all hear the sound of SOE¡¦s cash cow
uttering its last ¡§MOO¡¨

And what I will do ( when I return, whenever the He** that turns
into, I will do as I have always done, for the most part¡KPlay. Play
when I want, who I want, for as long as I want¡Kand where I want!

Sorry Kids¡K.long as usual. Sorry for the lateness of the response, I
was gone for a few days¡K¡K

As always¡KGreg
