Hiya guys,
I used to play EQ1 a looong time ago, then eventually ended up on WoW. I played WoW for about 2 years, and I just quit a few weeks ago. Theres that 'something' missing in WoW- in EQ1 I was a dark elf necro, and I was evil, and felt evil when I played. In WoW, no matter what I tried to play, even Undead, I felt like I was playing Rainbow Bright Online, and just got fed up with it.
So I went back to EQ, except this time I'm on a mac so it was the 100% neglected EQMac server that hasn't had a patch since 2004... I played that for about 20 minutes. There was no way in hell I would have been able to get past level 5 anyways, as most of the people are at the higher levels and just raid all day, and plus I don't like the huge grind (going from breezing through levels then back to EQ1 feels like hell).
Anyways, now that my entire boring autobiography is up there (sorry for making it so long!) my question is this- I'm planning on getting a newer Mac (I hear EQ2 runs fine through Windows on Boot Camp), but is it worth it? Are the servers still very populated, and is there a good amount of people on all level ranges? I just dont want to get Windows XP and all the EQ2 expansions and stuff, then end up not using it at all.
Also- I was thinking playing either Necro or Inquisitor (dark elf of course :D ), are necroes wanted in groups in this game? Are inquistors able to solo well (i know every class can solo in this game, but does it take 4 minutes in between mobs to recover?)
Thanks guys and sorry if this post is 3 miles of boring stuff.
