Well, since my biggest gripe about new MMO's is the lack of a sense of community, I figure I better start participating in this one. So here I go with an introductory post!
I just started and chose a bard as my first character (don't judge me!). Bard was my main on live from the day I started playing in Jan 2000 until the day my guild left EQ for WoW in 2004. Few other classes really interested me, especially untwinked. Call me crazy, but at least with a bard I knew what I was getting into. I don't have as much time to play as I once did, but it sounds like that's the norm around here.
Anyhow, I hit level 10 last night, and I'm loving p1999 so far! Some things took a few days to remember, but overall it's like a tsunami of nostalgia and excitement. Some very generous folks have already given me a few pieces of gear, which I'm super grateful for! I wasn't expecting it at all, and it's been such a breath of fresh air to see people supporting each other on the server like that. I promise I will pay it forward!
If you see me around, please don't hesitate to say hi. I love meeting and talking to new people! I'm a social bard - not one who likes to solo - so look me up for groups (I'm EST, so don't expect to see me on too late). In fact, the thing that made me decide to start on p1999 is a burning desire to group in Old Sebilis. I love that zone to pieces and I can't wait to get there!
In conclusion, I'm way more excited than I ought to be about p1999. I'm trying to convince my husband (who's never played an MMO before) to join me. Wish me luck!
