Thinking of returning to EQ, what characters to restore?

I'm going to speak out my ass here for a minute ... Have you spoken with SOE about what characters are actually available for restore? Round about now (with the server merges going on), they are permanently purging inactive accounts (I think those that haven't been accessed in 4 months or are under 10). Along with this, right before PoP, there was a major character database rewrite. If you were inactive/deleted then, your characters may not be restorable.

All that being said, you might want to spend $45 and activate all 3 accounts for 1 month and see which still have your toons. Or, contact SOE support and see if they can check your accounts for the toons.

^^ Valid question, I actually talked to their tech support, all my toons were 60 when I quit playing and canceled, and they're all still available, with the exception of one character, the cleric. Evidently some friends were still using the cleric to do some plat trading without me knowing about it, account got whacked.

I reactivated the warrior, shaman, bard and enchanter. I've got shambot, autoenc and mq2twist running with a simple bard helper macro, its working well when I run the warrior.

I've just got to get a decent afkpull and find somewhere to start doing afk xp at night when I'm sleeping

Instanced dungeons seem to be the way to go, I just don't know where those are.

I'd like to run MQ for xp/aa at night

find somewhere to start doing afk xp at night when I'm sleeping

i just caught that and wanted to say, unattended macroing is frowned on,

so if you wanna macro it you are on your own.

but anyway, war sham bard and chanter are pretty good together,all you really need is a more solid DPS and a cleric for hard encounters (can do without one of the 3 other support classes to get that in)

Yeah, I see that the more I hang around the boards, I can understand why certainly. It seems like there's a lot of people doing it, but no one talks about it.

Right now I'm enjoying working on macros to be honest, getting shambot and mq2twist working so I can just run my warrior for XP is kind of a thrill
