Unfortunately, I wasn't able to log on today; everytime I tried I got a server full message and I had to CAD to leave the loading screen. As you get to the higher quest levels, you NEED others as soloing becomes more and more of a challenge. Rest for the Restless is a great quest which I've done several times, but it needs either 2 players, or a 'trick'. In that room with the locked gate, you either have to have someone else there to unlock it from a different location, or 'recall' out and re-enter the dungeon with some XP loss. I've done it both ways.
Next, there's some news about the new Guild system available. Here's a link:
