Title: EQ (Original) Adds Mercs a la Guildwars? Post by: Merusk on August 17, 2008, 04:15:12 PM Anyone hear about this? Apparently in their 15th x-pac ( :ye_gods: ) they're adding player-hiriable NPCs so you can take-on encounters with a little help. Anyone still follow this game enough to know if this to counter the lack of ability to find groups, or just a "nifty feature" that'll be largely meaningless?

Hirelings may be useful for filling in gaps for the shit ton of single-group instances in the game now, but I doubt anyone will be raiding with them? What ever the case I'm guessing these things ain't got shit on the eqmacro bot armies a lot of people are using now a days. |
