My druid is now level 44, and more and more I am seeing/hearing the same
thing, "There is nothing to do for high levels" Granted, she hasn't hit 50
yet, but at this point, I doubt she will. Most places that give her
experience are over crowded and camped. It's gotten so bad on Povar, that
good races are camping the dwarf NPC's in Butcherblock. Gate into BB and
the first thing you hear is, "Anyone camping Den?" I guess if thats what
floats your boat, go for it, but personally, I prefer to gain my experience
in a roleplaying method, and killing good race NPC's doesn't fit with that.

Most of my druid's group have left EQ. After adventuring with them for
30-odd levels, she is now alone. This doesnt particularly bother me since
I've taken to playing my bard more, and am having a great time with her.

Still and all, I wish Verant would have given a little more forethought to
what would happen down the road to the high end players. I suspect many
more ppl will leave the game in the coming months.
