Most Solo Friendly Emu

Beyorn1973 · #1 06-15-2026, 08:57 PM

As the title says. I am looking for one with no death penalty, private zones, the ability for each class to solo.

I have tried Ascendant, Imperium.

Ascendant was good until I got to 51 where I had to charm a mob to take on Naggy. As a beastlord I just had to stand there or I would draw aggro and be beat into the ground. The mob I charmed couldn't tank the giants and after three times I gave up. I charmed a Stone Spider, like I was told on the Discord.

I just started Imperium, went to the guild lobby got my buffs and attempted to level in Crescent Reach. All the mobs aggro so I am constantly running to the guards and I am still in the newbie area at the main gate. For some reason the buffs you get dont last very long ;P.

This may come across as angry but I had fun ;D. I am just looking for something more laid back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ideally something like The Heroes Journey, which I dont have to have the three class thing. Just something I can putter around at my own pace. I am an old fart ;D!

I enjoy Profusion - it has custom progression and loot. As an example, your first task for progression starts immediately and requires you to kill three named mobs in Crushbone. The reward is your Epic 1.0.

Second tier progression is unrest, third L Guk and I think by this tier I was seeing Fungi tunics drop.

Very solo friendly whether or not you want to use MQ. Come check out more in the discord, https://discord.gg/pmJPB4Df

Don't you kind of have to box on profusion if you want to do everything?

Sadly you do, just made 70 and figured it out ;(.

Unfortunately there isn't a great true solo server atm.

There's casual dreams, but it has no population. The OGO server gives you as many bots as you want and is very solo friendly, but there are a lot of quests that don't work and will never be fixed as the server receives no updates/dev support.

Though I don't think either of those have private zones.

Imperium also starts solo but turns into needing to box/group for endgame content unless you already have everything from that content.

Fabled Stomping Grounds is very solo friendly, even for full melee, but again has low population. Doesn't have private instances though.

The Hero Chronicals seems fairly solo friendly and has private instances, but it's poorly developed IMO, has a low population, and a lot of bugs. Including loosing entire bags (and everything in them) between logging out and in. Maybe this has been fixed since I last played, but it was an ongoing issue when I was playing there. Also, no population again. Open world also wasn't scaled for solo play, only private instances were, which was... weird?

Ascendant is solo friendly and up to 3 box. There are solo players that have cleared all the expansions as they released including PoP which just released.

Imperium offers a Solo/Duo for progression/nostalgia only upto and including GoD. Custom content and the endgame will lead to friends, shenanigans and harder challenges.

All classes have solo'd through progression, Some roads are much harder and require skill.

Can't recommend the Imperium server though, way too addicting. Players beware, you may become trapped on this server forever if you actually give it a chance.

You've been warned!

Happy Adventuring!

I think you should give Imperium another try. Their forums have some amazing guides for new players. You may have just missed something (like the Imperium Magik/Fury clickie), as the new player experience is pretty laid back and custom progression is highly tuned to match your leveling. And make sure you download their patcher and run it.
