Hey! New to P99 Here!

[Kyosai7]

So, yeah, I love EQ2, but I hate what EQ1 has become, and I wouldn't mind reliving some of my childhood! I'm 23, and I want to make an evil character, based around melee, but not 100% sure what to make!

I'm leaning on either Troll/Ogre SK or maybe Iksar or Dark Elf... Choices, choices...

Welcome to P99! Well I would make a character that YOU want to play :P something that will make you want to play more. Maybe decide what kind of role you want to play in a group (or if you want to play alone) that might help you decide on a character

[Kyosai7]

Well, I like grouping, hate being FORCED to group. So, going off that, I think the Shadowknight would be a good class. Maybe Ranger, but no evil races can be ranger. Looking back, considering the popularity of characters like Drizzt, I'm surprised that Dark Elves can't be Rangers.

I forget, how easy/hard is it for an Ogre/Troll to get into Freeport? Gotta be close to dem Commonlands, lol. I know for a Dark Elf, it's a jump, skip and a hop as long as you avoid guards...

Also, with how artistic elves are, I'm REALLY Surprised dark elves can't be Bards...

Welcome!

Iksar Monks are evil and can solo to an extent. They are always welcome in groups, and they make great duo / trio partners.

Yeah. I just have a small lament that one of my favorite races, the Dark Elf, can't be some of the classes I want, lol. Oh well. Small complaint, all things considered :)
