This is a guide for when 5 players and a camp don't fall in your lap.

1. Be and stay positive, be prepared to communicate, be prepared to put time into group forming. 

2. Judge interest.  Go to zone, guild, continent channel, say in channels. " Anyone want to form a group for <insert location>?.  If people start putting level and class into chat or you receive tells, you found interested parties.  Be upfront when forming a group about the group's status.  Use LFG tool, focus on healer/tank/CC players first.

3. Send tells. Speak to potential group mates. There are a lot of shy people in Everquest waiting to be invited. If you reach out them they will be appreciative. Be prepared to get denied. Be prepared for people to want a full group. Be prepared for people to want a camp. Be prepared for bad replies. 

4. Keep at it.
