Default I was so pumped to play until.

I had this awesome urge to play eq again even though I quit cause I had no irl friends who played. I was going to make an ikky monk and sham combo so I don't need to always rely on soloing and waiting on groups...... Only too find out that you are not allowed too 2box.. Not impressed at all.

So I'm forced to start a class that is awesome at soloing.. I'm guessing that the server is already populated by necros and druids because of this one stupid rule..

Or is the server sooooo populated that you will be finding a group to join no matter what level you are. I doubt many are online during my weird hours of play.

Unless you are a ranger or a wizard.

Show abit of enthusiasm!

The server is populated 24/7 although busier during USA timezones. (I am in UK)

I for one havent experienced a prime time project 1999 and did alright for myself leveling up, yes finding groups can be difficult, you will often be replacing knackered folk who have played all night..

But if you cant find a group, make one! be proactive. theres always some one around willing to help out/ join up!

disallowing multi-boxing is one of the stalwart reasons why this server is awesome

don't underestimate the value of a servers community. no one wants to play in a ghost town (or, if you do, there are plenty of ghost towns for you to play in). the multi-boxing rule has a very real and direct correlation to the community. interaction is far less optional here.

and the numbers speak for themselves. p99 has dramatically more players online than any other emulated eq server. and those numbers have been sustained over time. the formula works!

Just watch the # of current players during what would be your hours of play on the main page (right hand side). http://www.project1999.com/

Both monks and shamen can solo just fine and group excellently. Not sure why you would abandon the hope of playing either of those based on your time of play.

Give it a shot with what you really want to play. See how it goes, then make up your mind.

Good luck!

Probably isn't the server for you if you can only enjoy gameplay when you can box.

What are your normal play hours? My normal time to be on is anywhere between 12 am and 9 am EST. Finding a group is usually pretty easy if you go to the more popular zones to group in. And I would say there are normally anywhere between 400 to 600 people on during those times.
