Not much talk about, playing together as a group. This game sounds good, but most are only talking about solo content.
Any Dungeons yet ?
Any group content ?
I like most solo so many levels to get the feel, but after about 10 levels it's time to branch out and have fun together.

I think most would agree that this game needs more OPTIONAL (non progression) group content such as Exarchyon to bring us together as guilds and as a community. I am talking to a lot of great people in House Chat that i will probably never actually play the game with, and that to me is a shame.
There IS grouping in the game (nameds, specific Qs, instances) but the game DOES need more imo.
Bearing this in mind though, 99% of the content can be grouped if thats what you want. I have duoed it all. To group, well... just group. Theres nothing stopping you and you will progress a LOT faster and die less (usually...) If a lot people arnt grouping right now, thats because they have chosen not to, which may say more about them then the game.
Guilds at this time are more of a 'clubhouse' that mainly just provide us with a shared chat channel for friends and regular grouping partners. This will change in the future though as PvP is formalised (next patch) and, in the longer view, they see how well Exarchyon went down with the player base.
I am an old EQer, grouping is VERY important to me and I see it as a fundamental building block in creating a great game with great community and longevity. I DO believe that community and longevity are created through game design and that to bring people together in a you have to create an environment that co-op and inter reliant play is required. Does SB have that yet? Well, yes, but not nearly enough. Exarchyon is a great step in the right direction though.
SB is young yet though and the Devs (SiL) ARE listening, I trust them. I'm happy enough right now and have the patience to wait
nice answer
I'm only level 8 and I don't understand agro system yet... but I noticed that grouping is very important to level up faster... specially with WANTED quests.
Their is some group content in the game, like the "wanted" quests, a few others which usually involve cave crawling, or a dungeon. I'll have to admit though that most quests from what i've seen are apparently soloable.
The only dungeon i've seen so far is the Citadel of..aile? I think its called? Wasn't able to kill anythign in there, but managed to get a peek inside.
i don't know how many dungeons their are in the game, im taking a guess and saying maybe 3-5 major ones at higher levels, but i've run into plenty of cave systems, if you consider those dungeons.
Yes, thanks guys, very good answers
