New to P99 and have no idea what to do
Well, as the title says, I'm completely lost. I played EQ waaaay back in the day and loved it. For some reason, I just cannot remember what to do, what the shortcut keys are, where to go, etc. Is there anyone else out there that is just getting started again that would like to group up and get re-acquainted with this awesome game again?
If there are any guides I should look at, that would be helpful as well. Looking forward to getting back into it and getting to know some folks. | ||

http://wiki.project1999.com/Main_Page contains a few class specific guides and command info, among other things, most of which is accurate.
Also http://newbiezone.freewebspace.com/newbieFAQ.html for true noobs (some of the info does not apply to classic EQ though). | ||

Welcome back to Norrath!
What's your name in game? The wiki is a wonderful resource. Use it for anything that you ever have questions about including; maps, quests, classes, alcohol tolerance, hunting locations, spells, etc. The Search feature is also a wonderful tool found on the upper right of this forum. Most of the time if you're ever wondering about something, someone else has already wondered about it and asked about it on the forums. Also remember, Alt+F4 does NOT square any platinum that you have selected on your cursor.

If you haven't moved any of your hotkeys yet autoattack is button 1, that will help you get to level 5 soon enough [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
if you're a caster then mem a spell and alt+1 will help you get to level 5 soon enough [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Also make sure you know your way back to your local class trainer, thats going to be a necessity for a few levels. If you're a caster its also how you'll find your spell merchants. right click a corpse to loot; ctrl s to sit, ctrl x to camp etc. kill loot sell train/scribe repeat until 60 *edit* one more thing the /con system: factionwise you'll have to figure it out, but targeting or right clicking an NPC will tell you if its red, yellow, white, dark blue, light blue, or green. Don't go off the deep end and try to kill reds; yellows are pretty risky without gear too. Stick to white being the highest con you'll kill if you don't want to have to recover your corpse a lot, and of course greens give no xp.

Awesome, thanks everyone for the advice. @Laugher, really appreciate the hotkey tips as well.
@Ingrum, I started a druid yesterday, but I died somewhere pretty quickly and am thinking about starting a new char tonight. Any advice on which race/class to start with? I was thinking dark elf necro. I also was wondering which race to start with in order to start in a good city. I know that there are some preferable starting cities, especially for noobs. And if anyone wants to roll a new char tonight, let me know, I'll be on in a few hours. | ||

Actually, if anyone has suggestions on what the server needs more of (druid, cleric, etc...), I may make one of those. I just need to make sure it's a class that I can attempt to solo with, because I assume there won't be many low level players to group with.

Healers and tanks are in short supply, from what I hear, in the high end. Play what you want. Pally and Ranger are the least popular, with some good reason and some not. Shamans are everywhere.

Healers are always welcome, although I agree with Vlak that there are tons of active shamans currently.
