Looking at starting on p99

[Wamorn]

I like melee, out of melee i prefer monks but what are they like on this server? Is it hard to find groups? Whats the economy like, items cost way more than a new person will be able to afford before they reach 50 or 60?

Finding groups? Depends on when you play. In the evening (US) times there are usually a few groups and some solo people running around in the popular zones (oasis, unrest, mistmoore, south karana, etc). Early AM hours there are only about 1/3 the people on though.

Regarding the economy, someone just mentioned this a couple days ago on here. High-end items (fungi tunic, hierophant's cloak, stuff along those lines) are ridiculously expensive, because the server is bloated with PP. But low- and mid-tier gear is actually quite affordable for anyone who knows the right spots to visit to earn some PP.

Im referring to items like fbss, wu's, the 11/25 1hb or jade mace. How much do they go for

I believe the wiki has an auction price tracker.

Im referring to items like fbss, wu's, the 11/25 1hb or jade mace. How much do they go for

fbss ~13k
full set wu's armor ~500pp
jade mace ~3k

to give u an idea

I receive more unsolicited tells on my monk asking if I want a group than any other class I play.

[briare]

might i recommend starting near fp, visit the tunnel every six minutes where there a few awesone druid players that will DS the fuck shit out of you. lvl 1-12 in a couple hours.

Most of those druid players are /anon or /roleplay though and don't want to be bothered!!!

[Szeth]

Most everyone that is high level and normally bored sitting around in tunnel (non raiders) are likely to be working on epics (non raid finishable ones)

i.e. do a friendly /ooc for one, if noone offers dont bug.

Monks are pretty damn good on this server. Not all that hard to find a group. Economy seems a bit higher than what it was on live. But some items are way cheaper than I what I remember on live. Wu's Quivering Staff (23/28) can be bought for 500pp. I remember that selling for well over 1-2kpp back in the day. But FBSS sells for 12-15kpp, whereas back in 2001 they were maybe half that.
