Can I solo up to level 60?Follow

Yes you can solo up to 60. (and it would be Troll Shaman i "think")

I am certain all Class/Racial combinations could solo to 60 without equiping any armor (just weapons if melee) or spending any Talent points.

If you wanted to make it "easy mode".. you could use drops and quest rewards.. cheater!

Well, I'm the only one I personally know who plays this game, and I don't relish trying to make friends 13 yr olds just to do instances...

gee...thank you for that generalization. I'm sure we are all happy that you come seeking the advice of those so far below you. I'm honored...anyone else?

I just reached 60 with my warlock, primarily soloing, but even going solo you are bound to meet and interact with people. You might even find a few you like and may consider doing instances with. My suggestion is to solo, but not to rule instances and multiplayer quests out entirely.

Um.. I stand by my statement. I could kill equal level mobs using my Voidwalker and a few dots and some Shadowbolts.

Without gear or talents. The hell I couldn't.

I did not say it was smart or efficient.. I said it was *possible* to solo to 60.

Are you going refute that and say it's not possible?

Edit: Yeah, I said it was *possible*.. not smart. You don't think people could get naked characters of every race/class to 60 doing green quests and killing a million wolves in the forest? You think it's not POSSIBLE?

I was in no way suggesting or advising people to do that.

It's possible to solo naked and talentless, but 1) It'll be slow and 2) It's kinda dumb. lol

You'd be farming mobs of lower levels than you would be if you had decent gear and talents.

Wow.. Warriors suck. Maybe that's why mine is 16 and a cloth mule.

Ok. Look. I admit it. Perhaps my statement was a hyperbole.

But the seed of truth is there, too. WoW is super easy to solo.. and you don't need purplz or a perfect build.

Read this especially you bgredsox and lauisifer

Right there is a prime example of one of the downsides to wow imo... the fact that you can solo 1-60. While it is nice to not be forced into a group, it hurts the game a little imo because people don't learn their roles in a group and don't make friends that easily... you said it yourself, you're hesitant to join up with other people in the game. No offense to you, but you're turning a MMORPG into an RPG while being in a chatroom where you can get items ingame if you want. I'd go play like FFXII or something if I wanted to solo all day long, plus it would be free. Paying 15 bucks a month to play a solo game... Of course, at the same time, a game which forces you to party (ala ffxi) is just as bad in a sense. While it gets people to make friends and learn roles in parties, it hurts people who picked a job they liked the look of, but isn't wanted in parties (DRG anyone? BST?) or aren't wanted in the way the job was "designed" (SMN with being healer rather then using avatars most times)

I personally think that there is a good balance between the two in EQ2, however once I had to quit due to money, it kind of lost my interest some and I couldn't really pick it up again... don't really know what it was, because I was having fun while I was playing, but then I had to quit due to money like I said, and it basically went downhill when I compared WoW and it in my mind, and it no longer had a real draw to it anymore. Maybe part of it was that I hadn't been raiding much (or even at the level cap, which is nice that you can raid at various levels not just cap, and I mean raid raids, not like the 10-manable instances in WoW) and had been having some trouble with a couple things I was doing in it because everyone I was friends with couldn't/wouldn't do it due to rep issues. I wouldn't mind going back and checking it out a little more later though, and the new race may have lessened that problem I was having... but, by the time I checked it out again it'd be right back the way it was, as I barely have time for anything but WoW atm.

Absolutely nothing, I didnt say there was anything wrong, I just dont associate with people younger than 20 per choice. I dont care if you are a genius, I just dont have the heart too. ** Note this is why i dont have kids.

Do yourself the favor and not take it personal. For a female to say at age 23 they dont want kids or to deal with kids is a rare bird. I guess im just different than most. And like i said, I dont care if your a genius, or do smart things, then dont tell me that your only 13, and do your role in group playing. Im cool with not knowing. Happens all the time im sure.

So what if he doesn't learn his role in a group? He obviously doesn't plan on grouping, and if he does change his mind, THEN he'll learn how to function in a group. I mostly solo in WoW, only partying for elite quests and the instanced dungeons. Some of my alts only solo. I really don't use my guilds for anything other than idle chat during travel or downtime. I submit the occasional goodie to the guild bank and take one out every so often, but otherwise...

WoW is so much more different than FFXII. FFXII is good for an MMORPG-styled offline game, but it lacks an auction house and the open-endedness of WoW. Simply put, WoW is not only a great MMORPG but also a great RPG. Playing the game for its solo gameplay, storyline, exploration ability, and freedom is just as valid a reason for playing it as is playing it because you want to pee vee pee or raid dungeons with 39 strangers. Though I would advise people to NOT be totally paranoid and dismissing of other characters, they shouldn't be castigated for wanting to solo to 60.

I hate committing to a game. That's why I never raided or PVP'd (though I may start trying both out when BC comes out, now that they're more manageable affairs) and I only barely managed to grit my teeth through the pre-raid dungeons once or twice before giving up on those too. Instances are fun, yes, and scripted story sequences are great...but I just hate the endless trash-killing death-causing crap that I have to slog through for three to five hours at once. May you burn forever, Uldaman and Mauradon.
