    Your questions all have been answered. The one that you asked about Solo I can understand from EQ2 viewpoint.

    You are mostly concerned about being able to progress. And groups are hard to find at times in EQ2. So you end up soloing.

    In this game ...grouping is very common thing. I have returned for 3 weeks now (rough guess) and I have not done squat solo. I have always found a team.

    Don't simply flag for group. Watch that Broad cast channel. its much like Lvl 1-9 channel in eq2... except eq2 had more blah blah gibberish waste of brain cells to read junk to. For the most part its a great place to find a party. Just click the name in the chat box saying LFm the option to send message pops (fast way to respond before slots fill).
    Oh god. I turned that channel off a looooong time ago. I couldn't take it lol

    I'll take it I don't have to worry about parsers being run! Woot! But I am a min/max guy at heart. (And I count achievements in that min/max category)

    Thanks. According to a thread, it seems to be a driver issue and a common one at that. There is a ATI hotfix so that is good.

    Thanks again for all your help!

    Wow that was quick. And not a single smart@ss remark in the bunch. Thanks for all the answers. What a nice change of pace. Are there "raids" though? Is there an "endgame"?

    And I know what an AT is, but what is an MM? I take it this is not a game where people focus a lot on Min/Max'ing their characters then?

    Hello all.

    (Sorry for the wall o' text)

    Please bear with me if these questions have been answered elsewhere. I am still learning my way around the board. Everytime I try to play the trial I can't because the screen just blinks rapidly, so I am just going to assume I like the game and get it later today. But before I do I just have a few questions. I apologize if these questions seem like trolling for the MMO I just finished playing (EQ2). Sometimes it is just easier to compare it to what you are used to. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    1. If I buy the Going Rogue Complete Set, I don't have to buy the other expansions right?

    2. Is this a game you can solo all the way to the level cap?

    3. I am going to assume that if that is true, there certain ones that are easier to solo with than others. Is that correct?

    4. How is the balance? Are there certain (I have no idea what the term is for the different "combos") that are just pointless or nerfed to heck?

    5. In EQ2, (sorry) in order to get reasonably good gear, you HAD to group/raid. Is that the case here? (I'm ok with that.)

    6. Are there tradeskills?

    7. Are there servers well populated? Any recommendations for a server if I tend to play between 9PM and 12AM PST?

    Thanks again for all the help.
