Quick question about how groups form for questsFollow

#1 Jul 14 2010 at 8:29 PM Rating: Decent
Hi, I’m doing a little research on EQ2 and was wondering if you all can help me out with a question that I have:

How coordinated are typical groups when starting group quests? That is, does everyone usually add the quest around the same time (like within an hour) or are groups usually formed through casual recruitment like adding pick ups along the way (which may take several days)?

Also, does this coordination to start quests change for heroic, epic, and raid quests?

Thanks everyone!

I'm not sure there's a pat answer for that, 'cause I've done it both ways. Sometimes we're in guild and someone says "Anyone want to do X quest with me?" and people may go get it, or may have already done it and come along to help.

Sometimes we get a group together and THEN decide what to do.

Then there's Mission quests with specific objectives where you get together and all go get the quest together.

I'm with Calthine on this one. I read your question lastnight and I've yet to come up with an answer that would top what was just said.

Each person probably does a combination of all of it. Granted I tend to solo, but if I am doing a chain in a zone I will ask in /gu if anyone else wants to do it with me, so it's less boring and of course easier.

The rest of the time I get most of my groups from friends sending me a tell, so all the effort has already been put into forming the group, or on some occasions I will see a person in the 1-90 channels putting something together and I will ask to join them.

It's safe to say all of these options happen all of the time though across all servers.

Dya and Calthine should drop their characters and come play on Blackburrow all the time and then the question of whether or not we put a group together before hand or not would be moot. We'd just always group up for stuff!

There are too many people on my server who would love to get rid of me, I could never make their wishes come true. Not to mention I rather like the people in my guild..even if we are small and mainly just craft.
