They're random strangers from other servers and you'll never see them again and you can't trade items or money with them if you are new and they have something they could use. Say you mess up and do something that's not perfect, they'll vote to kick you for increasing their grind by 1%. You'll get teleported out of the dungeon instantly with no warning, just "you have been removed from the group".

in P99, I found that people will fall over themselves to help you. I've had give me actual *advice* instead of just silently kicking me out of the group and blocking me. If they are overgeared they've given me gear and plat since this was my first character. People running by will randomly buff you or heal you. They will take time to explain certain dungeon areas or special mob abilities. The culture shock is quite insane, it seems like people actually remember it's a *game* and want to help you.

Welcome to p99!
The simplicity is what makes this server great and the reliance of needing others to accomplish ingame activities.
Leveling up is the best time on p99.
Once you start getting into the raid scene it is then where more of the seediness of peoples character comes out due to pixel fixations running at a level of insanity.
Anyway, just enjoy the ride, and perhaps you might find a fun niche in the raid scene too.
GL!
