I'm switching to EQ2

Reason more or less for something new. It's not that I don't like wow. Its the fact i've been playing it since beta. I need something fresh to try.

I plan to 6 box this one. 4 warlocks. 1 tank and healer. Still doing research on those.

As I under go this process I will be posting my research for macros and guides. I hope to be ready in a couple weeks. That said I wanted to toss this info out there in the event some others were thinking about making the switch. Would be nice to roll on the same PVP server.

Edit: We could have our own guild, maybe raid down the road :)

I am planning on setting up a multi box for EQ2 but not on a PvP server. I make min wage and the extra money for being on an exchange server will pay for the accounts themselves one day. That's my hope anyway, not sure how well it will work. I don't know too much about the classes yet, my highest toon is only a 38 Fury. I would how ever like to know how it goes for you. :)

Your computers are decked out to handle EQ2 Bradster? I thought you were shooting for WAR at the most.

Well

It sure is odd how some burn out on wow so fast. Im doing EQ1 and after 5 years its like I just started. There is so much more to do.

Espically on Zek the pvp server, you get all set up for a few hours of exp at a good camp and along comes some gankers to deal with lol ... it never ends.

As I live and breath it's Sam Deathwalker. *tips hat. Your one of the originals that starting boxing years before any of us if i'm correct? /salute

Yeah with wow you can only do the same things so many times.
I have all classes to 60 except pally which was 52. Couple 70s in there. Need a little break seeing the same content over and over :)

There's no tank class other than a paladin with amends that can keep the hate off a warlock spamming nukes without any other buffing class in the group, much less 4 :)

Though zerkers are very AoE focused, so depending on how much effort you can put into it, they might do a fair job, but you'll probably end up rezzing the warlocks a lot with that combo.

My party layout has changed.

1 Warden
1 Defiler
3 Warlocks
1 Zerker

Edit:

Should be pretty decent over all. Lot of DPS and Healing power thats for sure. The best party makeup with include a lot more classes. I'm going to limit myself to these 4. HOT and WARDS from the healers can share the same Key. Warlock DPS can share a key. Tank will be the main. It should be pretty easy over all. All with a single keyboard per normal.

I just love the macro tool in this game. It's a boxers dream. I'm working on a write up that will cover EQ2 in Detail with boxing. Don't hold me too it, but I hope to finish soon tm

For some they've been with WoW for almost 3 years though.

I don't really see myself leaving, but I really do prefer DAoC over WoW. But it being an MMO I play where people I know play, which isn't DAoC.

And I couldn't go back to EQ1, did that 3 times already. Even though I really don't like the cartoony graphics of WoW, they are still better overall than EQ1.

Really?

It is useful but without delays you cannot add more than 2 spells/abilities to a macro. You can however just add a bunch of spells and each press should cast the first two available in the macro, which I guess would be usefull for how you are doing this. They did improve it greatly a few months ago, before it was junk :) I don't remember much about WoW's interface so I cant really speak about that, but the EQ2 macro system has uses but I wouldn't call it a dream.

Anyway .. welcome to EQ2.
