As I see it...

I am confused by a few things here on THF. First and formost is this "grouping" mentality that has been thrown around lately. It seems that we are now forced to either be in a top guild, or be left behind. Can you say "EQ live" flashback???? Along those lines, as in live, what I have seen is the top end guild goes through content, and THEN it gets tweaked. /sigh If thats gonna be the case, make them redo it if you tweak it "harder".

I for one, HATE the politics of a guild. I point at the recent internal crap in Evolution between Snow and Jeido. Not taking either ones side, just an example of why I hate guilds.

When I first started out on this server, we solod almost all the content, with very few exceptions. Hell I watched a certain Warrior solo the Ghoul Lord and get a title for it. That was fun. Most of the Sebelis stuff was pretty easy as well with a 2 box and bot.

It seems to me you guys took a left turn and now it seemd THF is not solo friendly anymore. I know that it was intentional, but come on. Alot of us like the ability to occomplish things. Now solo stops after Sebilis type zones.

Please give us some zones that have that type of content and rewards. Gettting 2.0 or completing Headhunter isn't gonna happen for a solo player. Try coming up with alternatives if you can. If you are going to stay with this "Guild" mentality, I don't believe you will see a long term population here.

I would like to play on this server because I love the layout, but sadly I now have 2 L70 toons I log in every once in awhile to see if anything changed.

Hopefully you understand why alot of us have left.

Thanks for the feedback.

Alot of content on this server is tweaked for a strong and solid group (plus bots). Thats the idea behind this server. Major stuff for the people who love to raid are currently being developed, namely SSra and ToV.

Everything else can be gotten with a single group really. Especially if you are lev70, 150+ AAs etc.

We recently added Icewell Keep as XP Zone which is very easy. It doesn't offer much in terms of loot beside some random drops of Trash but you get easy XP in return.

Kael also offers some single group content where you can get 200-300 HP armor.

This server is all about progression. Gear up here to be able to beat zone X. If you chose not join a guild you will not see 2 zones, or rather 1 zone , ToV.

Hopefully you understand why alot of us have left.

Alot left? Actually we gain 5 people on average every week.

Thanks for you input Hitex. Before I reply your post too, since this is an important topic, I kindly ask you one thing. Don't judge ppl and don't call names public if you don't know the real story (I would not say not even then). And speak up for your own opinon, not others. Our "beta" server population just reached a new record yesterday (61+ ppl), but you probably weren't there to see it, right? Esle I guess you wouldnt say something that "ppl are leaving the server".

Anyways, we do see your point of view and we are working on extending the solo content for post 70. Everything takes time. Atm, 99% of the server (lvl 70+) population are in guilds, or at least have the capability to beat challenging group contents. The majority will always have priority. This is the reason why you might think that we only focus on the raid/group contents. But we don't. Hopefully you'll see more soloable content soon, we'll do our best.

Hello Grim AKA Hitex!

I really understand your point,and if u have been a part of this server for so long you should know that the Developers are working hard and are trying to make it right for everyone.
On the other hand,it should be common sense that you cant make it 100% perfect for everyone.

You cant balance it, so the Casual Player that plays 1 hour a day gets as strong as a player that invests 5 or 6 hours every day, and have both think thats fine.

Same counts for Solo Player and Raid guilds.

Some Content will only be for Raid guilds but thats the way EQ is,else we would only need crushbone with all loots on a random drop chance with 10x exp up to lvl 70:-)

But i promise you,like always,we will try and make it as perfect for everyone as possible.

Is there any possibility to limit a zone population to 6 players? That way you could release a 1-group zone with challenging content and decent drop worth the effort.

I'm already working on this for the Treasure Hunt quest series
