While I agree with your assesment Sohami you REALLY need to start looking at post dates.

i am a new player : got a char (Paladin 70) and I must say that I will stop on this server (maybe?) because it's become to hard to do the quests and i don't want *buy*  help or just beg help...
i've try the FG quest : mass farming (boring) and unable to achieve by myself (frustrating), i've try other quests : prestige, ok to restart from level 1 but doing this for ever is juste insane??

Or maybe I miss something?

I must say that leveling on this server is plaisant and nice but at level 7à I am stuck because it's to hardcore with a lot of farming...

I look back on the start of Epic Fail and think "man people have it easy."
I was crawling along slow as a snail attempting content when I started sending people tells. Asked questions and was a total newb. Slowly I built up a network of friends and together we punched through content.
One of my (now deleted) earliest screen shots was 4 of us busting up Qvic and Tacvi and then PoD T1 together.
At that time only 2 of us boxed anything, I played the group warrior and cleric, we had a mained mage, necro, rogue and a beastlord boxed a paladin.
Not to long ago people would farm 1-2 guild sets to trade for a qvic run which got 1-2 of the primary classes flagged and a 3.0.
Tacvi gear has almost always been announced in ooc as rot and FFA.

I know with the newish economy and people perma farming the non instance of zones it can suck but really you only need to email hunter to get a guild created OR join FG/CG and make your own instance.
Even if you have to crawl through qvic it only takes a hour or two to have enough pp to pay for a 100k instance AND if you put in a few solid hours you can farm enough extra items to sell and make back your 100k investment.

I have always advised sending random people of your class or level range a tell and ask them questions. Be polite and get to know people. Be a raging dick like Balthor The_Mean once you get all powerful and crap. At the start get a good rep, try to not ask to many stupid questions in ooc.
Google is your friend.
If anyone needs a temporary guild tag I think between me and Xiggie we have 3 or 5 guilds we can invite people into so they can get instances.

If you are a new level 70 just work on AA until you get a couple hundred it should only take a few hours of solid farming and its worth it.

hmm lost my train of thought and its food time. /cheers

Polite clap for Balthor's excellent post.  I started this summer and got my first toon to 70 in a day.  My son started as well.  I saved and did fg/cg for my toons and two and three boxed and now I am in t1 farming again, that is, when I am not working.  This server takes time for achievement but what doesn't take time for achievement in this world?

Yeah I agree, when I first started this server I played for a month not caring wtf was ahead of me.  I mean I did not even know there was a 3.0 or 2.5 I just went through normal progression on a mage.  Went to BoT and got all the gear I needed and stuff.  After that I've come to realise you have to either box toons, join a guild or have a static group you login with all the time.  Yes its tough getting to where I am and takes alot of time, but it can be done.

God I remember what it was like back then. Running around bot with my cleric like perma invis because his armor was so ugly to look at. I swear I had his heal hotkey set to cast a heal on me then click CoS Wink
I kept a few of the old screen shots and I'll post them up at some point in time.
EZ was a different beast back then.
