Immediately felt sorry for op when I realised he may very well be a returning player posting in rnf.

If its worth anything to you op, p99 is a lot of nostalgia fun but the forums are a whole other game.

Same. Even having been an original EQ veteran, I felt like the initial levels took longer than I would've thought they would. I was so shocked and in awe when I first started playing the game though that I probably wasn't paying attention much to how long it took to level at the time.

First, thank you to all of you who constructive and kind posts. Your advice is greatly appreciated and I have printed it out.

Last night (Monday), I managed to join a wonderful group composed of all pet classes (coincidence) and we were mauling kobolds left and right for several hours. It was so much fun and I was able to get to level 7. I understand it's not necessarily the speed in which you level, but I really enjoyed this particular group. I know everyone plays at their own pace but plans were already being talked about for this evening and it's hard to not want to be a part of that. All of this brings back good memories since most of my friends aren't interested in playing at the moment. Sometimes I wonder if I'm crazy starting all this over again but it's just one character.

Thanks again for all your offers of help and kindness. It is greatly appreciated. To those just using this as a burn forum, bless your hearts.

@Guru,

Welcome, mate.

I'd like to properly introduce you to a very "special" place on the interwebs. The playerbase on P99 is an odd section of the human population. It attracts some poeple that are... I guess the best term I can think of to describe them is unaware. They are unaware of what civility is. It's like they grew up in a jungle, raised by wolves with no concept of normalities of a civilized society.

RnF is where the server management basically let's them run wild without restraint and near-to-zero consequences. It keeps the rest of the forums free from the garbage they spew. It's a necessary evil.

I hope you enjoy your stay here. Try to avoid the shitheads. Enjoy everyone else.

I disagree. Saying it’s not the commenter’s fault is like advocating it’s ok to be uncivil. I don’t care what forum people post in. Treating people like shit just to do so is never ok. I would have them seek therapy.

Take care.
