It took a little research, soul searching, and convincing myself, but I finally decided that I wanted to go back and play more Everquest 2. Lately I’ve been in a real MMO funk – in fact for more than a month. With Lord of the Rings becoming stale and being put out to pasture I found that all I had to play was TF2, Nwn2, and a few other games on the side. Since I am a heart a MMO’er I would find myself on some random message board (usually EQ2) reading what other players were doing or had to say… I know it’s like the looking out watching hte other kids play… somewhat depressing, haha.
I’m back in Norrath and for how long I am completely unsure. I know that I have always enjoyed the gameplay of EQ2 and the world is nothing short of massive and spectacular. The big problem for me has always been that lack of community or group of like-minded players to support me. I give up looking and retire my account and move on. This time I am going to make it my first priority to establish a group of friends somewhere and just enjoy the game for enjoyment’s sake. If I play for a month and all I see are the first 20 levels at least I will be able to look at it and say “Hey, I enjoyed that”. In keeping with this theory, I created a Conjuror last night on the Antonia Bayle server. AB has always been my main server and I have some items and a little bit of money (little under a plat) to play with. My Conjuror is a Gnome in Kelethin and I have always enjoyed playing with the little Fae’s.
This morning Tipa from West Karana told me about the Nagafen PvP server and a guild her friend runs there that caters to newer players looking to have a good time. Lucky for me right after Tipa posted Lishian (the friend with the guild) left a comment on how I can get in touch with them. Since I have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain I’ve decided that for the time being I’m going to give Nagafen a whirl. If I like PvP and the guild is a match for me then I’ve found my place – if not then I simply keep looking and enjoy the game! Since I’ve never really done much EQ2 PvPing this should be interesting…
