Well this free to play ploy seems to have worked. I've found myself playing somewhat regularly over the last month, and just last night re-subbed for a 3 month period. I'm really liking the free 2 play, they did a good job giving you just enough to go on (at least at lower levels), while still providing some incentive to upgrade.
I quit back shortly after Gates of Discord came out, level 65 was the cap. Never was a raider, we mostly did challenging 1 group content (or 1 grouped things that were supposed to take more). I'm probably solo for a bit, can't seem to talk anyone else back into it yet. Loving the mercs. I may roll up a second box mage to 2box and help out too.
So the question is -- what to do? I was thinking of levelling to 70, sitting on AA for a bit and experiencing content around that level, then going to 75, stopping for a bit and doing the same, etc to sort of catch up on the past 8 years. Any tips for "must do" things at each level? Equipment I can go after by myself? Fun / rewarding quests?
A few things I've seen mentioned that I was pondering:
- "shawl 2.0" quests.
- epic 1.5/2.0 - is this doable solo? I assume I may need to wait a few levels?
- feign death ring in sky - i figure i may need to drag some others on for this
- anniversary quests - already did the huge 10th anni ones, they were pretty fun (and worth a ton of cash...)
- merc progression quest (I got the feeling you can't do this till higher level?)
- are there quests to unlock those additional merc spots, or are they purchase only?
Thanks for any ideas!
