Also depends on what you consider soloing...
- You can make it to POTIME soloing.
- You can make it past POTIME with one character, but you will need help from others and this is still a huge option on EZ.

There are a TON of players on the server that play 1 toon and progress. Yes, its a slow grind for plat for help or even using some of the one-box guilds. But in the end, they still have 1 player.

I see players all the time with dual 3.0's that just grinding it out helping others and getting help at the same time.
It wouldnt be easy though as the game itself is not meant to really solo.

Booting AFK players after an hour might help alot.
Yes its not a solution for more bandwidth that is needed, but, it is at least a solution that would yield better resources of our bandwidth moving forward.

Thanks for the response Hunter.

This is awesome!
Some players were talking the other day about burnout in progress from t2 to t3 gear to 4.0 weapons.
This is a huge welcome addition!!!

Ok, just to document mine and Swamphys experience tonight.
He made an instance, ran short on time, deleted it to make another.
Made the second instance and when we zoned into it, it kept shooting us to the main server qvic zone.
So, I deleted that one and made another. I zoned into it and it shot me to South RO!
Swamp made a 3rd and everything worked.

Oh well, still better than no instances at all

The alternative is to make it under another toon name.

I am never this lucky lol.

Main thread is locked.

T5 is now under development!

Hunter and Basher are now working on T5 content. We have it all brainstormed and planned out. Development will take a few months to complete. We'll be giving out little bit of info at a time about it (spoilers or teasers), but not all the details. We'll post updates in this locked topic as the weeks and months go by.

Spoiler #1
T5 will require about 24-30 players to survive the bosses. More HP and DPS are nice, but not as important as in the previous zones. For example, there could be boss events where NPC's run towards the raids and blow up or AoE the raid dead. This would require several off tanks to intercept them before they approach and wipe out the raid. These fights will not just be auto attack/rez/heal. Tactics will be required more than ever. Guild may need to put aside their differences, and work together, if they want to conquer this new content.

More spoilers to come.

Sounds fun!

You can get 50/10 cable plans here for $190/mo (Comcast business class).

Can get a managed 100mb uplink server for half that.
Mind you the hardware would be leased, but, thats not the issue currently.

The issue is this seems to be on a residential plan, you wont find residential plans with much for than that for upload speeds.
You can get 100mb upstream on a real server, but, would have to lease the hardware.

Strange lag tonight.
I know we have a lot of people online, 500+ but we dont normally get THIS much lag.
New processes on the server or somthing?

bump

Were a gimp class until the recent fixes.
They are quite an asset now to any group.

truth

nice sigs.

I aim for lvl 1 oracle on each ranger because my goal is to run a group of 6 and they need to self heal sometimes.
I also aim to max their regen augs out.

Ranger heals are a joke but, does oracle or focus of healing effect regen augs?
