Hey, I want to give this game another try but having a hard time leveling anything other then the OP PL classes (necro/cab). Is leveling with groups easier on the weekends?

You can't just expect to level with your chosen class with groups, you must go with multiple classes and fill groups/build groups

Perhaps not the best time to be attempting this tbh - there is always a dip in population around this time of the year.

Plus Albion already has it hard outside of a necro PL situation.

Perhaps make something that is easy to solo with outside the 2 you have mentioned? Theurgists (Ice Spec I believe) vs Spirit weak mobs. Or perhaps friar, with some levels on them they become solo machines (plus some RR and dodger and they are excellent).

GL with whatever you do

Have to find a large guild if you want normal leveling groups, or alliance.

can do any class if you make the group, if you just wait for things to be done you gonna have a hard time.
