Just checking out project 1999

[Ohno]

After trying out a progression server in normal EQ and being really disappointed by people (general attitudes and how fast they were unlocking things).


I have a few questions (and they may be silly)

1) Will there ever be a SoV expansion on this server?
2) Do people actually help out new players or will be goofy playing an ungeared warrior with a bunch of dps twinks?
3) Do the raid guilds poopsock? or mess with the raider lites?

1) yes (that's the plan at least)
2) yes and probably also yes but also no
3) yes

The people in game are extremely helpful.

People give pp, gear, buffs, and all other forms of help.

Hanes stock went up a few hundred points a couple months after p99 was released.

[Ohno]

Alright next 2 silly questions....

4) I saw a nice population chart on this forum... why so few rangers? I played a ranger when I was 16 and loved it. I felt like a DPS/radar dish.

5) XP penalties in place?


Honestly raiding drama was probably the worst part of EQ. If I wanted to join a raid guild; I'm guessing they won't want anyone that doesn't play 40+ hours a week :(

There are a few different discussions about rangers running around on the forums, check the class area.

And yes, exp penalties are in place.

Heh you'll only want to raid if you enjoy either trying to be an e-bully or laughing at those who try

There's a reason why tmo is p99's big shame

I took a look at inglorious bastards recruitment post.. it didn't seem too bad. I tend to like to laugh at e-bullies.

Looks like we're headed for RnF

[Ohno]

We won't have AAs which makes rangers :(


Ahhhh I forgot that. I played a ranger pre luclin got my epic and everything... except it was my first mmo so I wasn't exactly caring about it in comparison to other classes.

I'm thinking wizard or enchanter right now.

[Diggles]

server definitely needs more port bitches

[Boombha]

By the time you get to raiding levels, you will have a pretty good idea what the raid scene is like.

There are some casual raiding guilds that seem pretty cool.

After trying out a progression server in normal EQ and being really disappointed by people...

What I find amusing is they set up Trakanon as a new blue server, me and 100s of others all take an interest and want to try a new community...get to about Level 80 for them to then say "actually, we're shutting it down to start a progression server", merged us with Tunare without ever really caring or whatever. Modern day SOE really are stupid as hell.

I'm glad I found P1999...because I sure as hell wasn't going near that progression server after so much time invested in my Trakanon character :(

The community here is awesome, helpful and pretty much mirrored my first experience back in the day... rock on P99!

Ignore the inter guild shit.

If you want to raid the options are there. The one with people you enjoy to be around is only a few tells away to one of many prospective guilds to explain who you are and ask if you'd suit.

No, an untwinked war will do fine, and I'm sure a post here would net you some armor and weaps to get you started. I always have a few spare weaps and shit to hand out to new players. It's just the done thing here.

You can play 10hrs a week and do every raid, or 40 and never make one. The top end scene is all 'on call' with a twitter, MMS or email distribution.

[Ohno]

Will we ever have AA's or limited AA's??? (I don't like the 1000's needed. but I do like having some to play around with like endless quiver for rangers or being able to crit on a non warrior).

Also part of me wants to make a troll sk although I know thats *ultra* painful.

[webrunner5]

There will probably never be any AA"s on here.

Play what you enjoy not what other people suggest. Its just a game, and in the long run your game.

[Lids]

P99 is full of great people. Just stay away from Rant and Flame section on P99-forum and you will be ok. Sometimes know less (drama) is more (so you won't judge the whole community).

[Ohno]

Well if anyone is on in an hour or so I'll be playing. Probably will need some newbie help since... apparently the newbie starts is even worse than what I remember.

"Here's a t-shirt, some bread crumbs and a stick" off you go.

Anyone willing to help me get started? Let me know... I'm torn between an enchanter, wizard or ranger (I think because I enjoyed the class and I did a who all and saw 11 and part of me cried a little).

wow swish. nice sig
