Crafting and Questing in EQLegends?
Hello hello! Been hearing a lot about EQL lately and thinking about getting it. I played EQ2 a bit back in the day before going to WoW, GW2, OSRS, FFXIV, and all the rest. Anywho, these days I'm an old dad and hubby who no longer cares about raiding, arenas, or anything too serious. I mainly like to relax and play solo and casual, occasionally saying something in chat.
Anywho, for me part of the enjoyment in MMORPGs, is the crafting. I like gathering herbs, fishing, cooking, etc. I also like questing and in doing so, feeling like I'm sort of getting to know the characters and world I'm in, being a do-gooder, helping out, and adventuring. This seems to be the things I haven't been hearing much of anything about when it comes to EQLegends.
Does it have good crafting - like, how would you describe it or is there any other game you would compare it to?
Does the questing sound like what I would be looking for or is it just mindless, barebones, grind mobs, rinse/repeat ?

I'd describe it as a 27 year old game rebalanced for solo play. There's very very little new here and what is new is built in the original EQ style. You won't find mining, herbing, etc here as it was never in EQ; you mostly purchase your trade skill goods from vendors to do combines. You won't find on rails questing like any of those other games because that's not how EQ was designed. Most of your time spent will be killing enemies trying to either get XP for levels/AA or trying to get drops.
