Wait... what laptop is that? Looks like a new Studio XPS.

No.

Think less "Game Master" and more "Game Moderator". I get the occasional glimpse of some toon with over 50k health on Nagafen on EQ2 and think, yeah, that'll be a GM ;)

EQ3 would be incredible! There's still so much work going in to EQ2 though. EQ2 is in my opinion the best MMO out there, full stop, and I always always come back to it (actually I always keep my subscription active)

I live in the UK and work from 08:30 until 17:00 every Monday - Friday and the occasional Saturday. I play EverQuest II on a US server (Nagafen). My guild and the server comes to life at "night" or early morning, around 2am. I have shifted my sleep pattern so that I sleep as soon as I get home from work, then wake up at around 2am or 3am to start playing, then go to work after being awake for a few hours of playing. I know it's radical, but I find I enjoy the game a lot more now. My play time is excessive, and I have found that recently, I am playing all weekend, mostly non-stop, but the game has helped me to overcome various problems in my life by keeping things off my mind. It may be time to join a European guild in order to cut my hours? I'm happy with the balance right now.

I find it difficult to solo as a heal spec'd Warden on EverQuest 2 because it is very difficult to fight more than one mob at a time, and even then, I deal the least damage compared to every other class. Fighting one NPC for one minute when I need 15 of them to complete a quest for 2 or 3 percent experience just isn't worth it. This is why I enjoy grouping with a Shadowknight or Warlock or basically anything except a Warden.

My RL friend found the guild somehow. I just joined with him. Never thought we'd join a US guild being in the UK.

I read about MMO's on this website ^.^

In EQ2 I really enjoy the versatility of the Warden class. Being a Druid, it's a mixed bag. I get fast travel options, regenerative healing, and I get to deal a bit of damage too. Healing takes a lot of aggro, but it's quite good that I am a leather wearing class instead of cloth wearing mage class.

And that's a problem for tanks - making sure you have the best mastercrafted or legendary class armor is extremely important to increase your groups survival chances. You can't be a tank with treasured or handcrafted gear.

Another problem for tanks is that you automatically become the group leader, as you'll likely be body-pulling huge mobs around every other corner. This means that you are expected to know where to go in new and unexplored dungeons.

I'm giving the tank class a shot, but I'm only a Lv5 Guardian, whereas my healer is Lv42. I'm just letting you guys know what the 1-9 chat says :P

I prefer big clients. Flash doesn't work so well at 2560x1600.
