lurkers/new players: advice from a noob

skacat · #1 06-03-2013, 03:23 AM

i lurked a bit here before i finally installed the client (on my mac, got it up and running following the guide with no issues. crashing out sometimes on zone but im on wireless). wasn't sure how to reconcile playing 12 years later, how i'd find the time, what i'd do, etc.

after trying a few 'solo-able' classes on the regular server (druid and necro) i decided to follow my dreams and make a melee on PvP.

i never really played much PvP during release and I can already tell it's making it worth it to play a second time around.

despite all the racket you can find on the forums all the people ive run to in-game have been awesome. i think with the new XP boost there's a bunch of noobs around and everyone wants to keep in touch at the low levels. I found the blue server to be a little more impersonal.

i made some coin doing a transfer for someone. it was a bit of a different experience knowing that if i screwed them my character would be on a shitlist for the rest of its existence.

anyway, people there have been super helpful, the XP bonus is making the levels go pretty quick, and being back on has been fun even if just to see a few familiar NPC faces for the first time in years.

anyway, get your ass on and play. if you've ever considered PvP, now seems to be a good time to jump in.

Welcome to P1999. But we are not going over there trust me. There is a Reason there is 25 people on the server. You make 26. Grats.

Hey I'm right there with you Skacat. Been having more fun on Red than I have on Blue in a long time.

I play Japanese prime time so there's almost no one on when I play... still having fun =)

This thread looks like a challenge to all the Twink griefers on Red. How long can this guy play before you bind camp him until he deletes EQ?
