Leveling group?

[Frenzic]

Would anyone be interested in a semi-permanent leveling group? I'd like to get started on P99 but I've never played here before. I have high play time but I don't have much interest in soloing and looking for group constantly. I really like to get a small group of like minded people together and level up from 1. Doesn't have to be breakneck speed or anything, just experience the game.

My times are flexible. My class/race choice is flexible as well.

I can use voice or type doesn't matter to me.

your best bet is just to start out, perhaps in a place like gfay and find people around orc hill or CB. No one really groups at all until at least lvl 5 - it just doesnt make any sense.

Id say roll a cleric or chanter if you always want to finds groups.

Just my opinion

Yea maybe that is the problem. I started as an Iksar necro and it's a ghost town. I definitely need people to play with [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Still would much prefer finding a group to level up with and not constantly searching everytime I log in. Let me know if anyone is interested =)

You aren't looking hard enough. Field of bone and Kurn's are never ghost towns and if they are it's like 4a.m and everywhere else is also. Furthermore when you hit 20 Warslik Woods giant fort is loaded with players 24/7 as well, then Frontier Mountains. Iksar have it very good for a long time.

frenzic is in game name also?

Not to be pessimistic but that is going to be harder than you might think to have a static group.

most lowbies are alts - some are new for sure from EQ Mac, however there is one server that accounts for ALL timezones.

That means to find 5 other people who play the exact times you do on a game that is 14 years old wont be easy.

Field of Bones in my opinion is one of best possible starting spots for leveling, then you get Kurns - you will find groups there, and usually someone being powerleveled so you may swing some nice buffs too.

Lowbie group areas are as follows (in my opinion)

East Commonlands Orc 1 7-12
Greater Faydark Orc Hill 5-10
Kurns Tower - 8-18
Oasis 14-22 (Orc Highway 18-24)
Crushbone - 7-18
Unrest 16-35


There are plenty of other places to level but those are your most likely to find others to group with.

I would also suggest finding a leveling guild (nothing else I have done in P99 has been as helpful as finding a large leveling guild - groups, ports, info, help - hands down must for a new player)

When Kunark came out they gave so much love to Iksars and leveling that they forgot to let them wear plate armor.

But honestly you really never need to leave the island of kunark its absolutley incredible for xp and groups.

Well I've yet to see another player but it could be an anomaly. It's a little rude to say I'm not looking hard enough tho. There are no people in the zone, its pretty cut and dry.
