Default The Newb Experience in P99

So I reroll a fresh toon today, and decide to hardcore him up. No twinky-dinky. Relive the newb experience on P99, so to speak.

How is it? In Gfay:

~Numerous random drive-by buffs.
~People giving away nice newb-starter equipment
~Helpful /ooc
~scores of REAL newbs still starting
~plenty of group opportunities...even until about 3am eastern.

So...the community is solid. STILL having much fun, and that's what it's about.
Kudos once again to the devs. You rock.

Hm, fun idea. I think I may try this out around Qeynos and what not.

"what not" != erudin/toxxulia

True, but i often find alot of the higher levels are a bit too helpful [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Sometimes it might be hard to have the newb experience when people are /shouting free <something> for anyone under level 10.

The truth is,

I've seen way to many twinks that sucked. I have met far better people with crap gear at playing, than twinks.

This sentence is an abomination.

Heh. erudin/toxx is a wasteland, lol.

Never have apologized to you for raking you over the coals when you first started P99. You've turned out to be one of the better peeps here, imo.

Kudos.

Very true. I've helped a few people quite a bit, but I always watch myself and try to avoid that line of ruining the early experience for them (gave some guy a BS mantle and a cheap deal on ebony bladed swords the other day).

It's a crucial experience to be able to build yourself up on your own, rather than simply having loot handed to you.
