If you are new to eq2 and have not experienced the game and its content, i would suggest doing the combat xp lock from time to time to play through the game. there is seriously alot of stuff to do and you can easily level past it. Based on our experience (khatovar and I) we will level past content with the 3x XP faster than we will earn AAs. this could be problematic but i have read also that level 80 you will earn 3x AAXP at the level cap. We are going to start our second team this weekend and not turn off xp and see how fast we can hit 80. so really there are two schools for boxers...

1. speed to 80 with 3x XP and do it mostly in dungeons or you will seriously hate life in regards to gear and spell upgrades that drop more abundently there. named mobs and dungeon quests will be your aaxp as you go so you will always be earning some AA points.

2. combat xp lock and quest in the varyious zones. there are sooooo many quests which reward aaxp and "rare" mobs to kill you can easily get a good set of aaxp going. We just unlocked from 26 and went up to level 31. We have around 25 AA points. by the time we unlock again we will be closer to 40 AA points based on the volume of things to do and people to kill.

I think i am going to like having both teams honestly. one locked and one unlocked. one thing you may want to do is "drop" a toon from a team and replace it. mentoring down to the various levels is fun and ensures you dont miss content that is "level appropriate" and there is a ton. We are going to leave at least one toon at level 51 to mentor down to. probably another at 61 and then 71.

if you want an example of the volume of things to do, this link is for the Group Dungeons... lists them all in order of difficulty...

Heroic Dungeon = shared dungeon
Heroic Instance (Major)= instanced dungeon
Heroic Instance (Minor)= small dungeons - boss instances - quest dungeons

and a link for solo/duo instances

but you get the idea. tons to do. really comes down to your playstyle.
