xcept instead of doing research into what does and what does not work,



And yet while in the therycraft period I was told that I should not spend so much time at it ....


I leveled up with AoE. But only with 5 characters at once and I was in an instance so respawn wasn't an issue.

Well... so purhaps there is a bit of disagreement as to if quests or aoe is better ...


I agree that respawn time is the key to the whole thing. Yet no one knows what respawn time is if 26 are in the vacinity. I know those gnolls in the swap zone sometimes were respawning right on me, and thats killing one at a time, so no one can say there are no instant spawn camps. And few even know if you kill all the mobs in the area if they dont all respawn back at the same time ...


Lets not forget that in EQ I leveled up more then anyone. Im basically 3 days played here, and 290 days played over there ...

Don't forget that Prepared, as excellent as he has done, does not use jamba, keyclone, macaroon or most any addon at all. 3 months ago I didnt know what lua was, yet now I am pretty much able to make macros do as much as they are abel to do. In your opinion is it better to use these tools or just jump in and level up as fast as you can with the default UI? If you think that these tools are better for the long run then you will agree that there is a learning curve and that is what I have been doing these last 90 days. Plus I have stable computers with what, in my opinion, is by far and away the best hardware set up. Everyone else takes whatever computers they have at hand and toss them together, mine are made from the ground up for what I do. Right now I am the only person who can brodcast a single ui to 5 other computers and 25 other characters, log in and ONLY have to move the professions macros from the spell book to the bar. I dont have to load ANY profiles, titanbar shows where I set it on the first UI, everything is just like the original UI, all macros are where they were placed on the first UI. That took me over a week of work to do. But now I can change something, spend about 5-10 mintues to broadcast it (I use copy muppy, macroexpress3 and microsoft word to do it lol), and bang, add in the professions and Im all set to go!

Iv been in the thousand needles zone mostly as of last and Im not seeing a shortage of mobs, I start at one end of those centar things and kill up the southside then come back and kill down the northside, by the time I am done the first mobs have respawned already, and with looting and mining slowing me down there seems no problem.

In my own words the first attempt was a complete disaster ... lets see how the 2nd attempt goes.


Ya and as for that EQ screen shot, apparently someone had enough skill to pull not only the north side of Plane of Nightmare (see the gobs and dead wraits) but managed to get the South side (trees and consorts) ALSO in the same pull. Humm ...
