Default Starting up a charecter

So I am starting a Ranger and gonna need guidance.

Where are the leveling hotspots right now for grouping?
Any guilds take in a scrubs such as myself at such newb lvls?
What is the guild scene looking like (Major raiders/casuals)?

Any and all help is appreciated.

Crushbone/ec
oasis/unrest/mistmoore
frontier mountains/OT/Solb/lguk
kc/seb

Lots of low level guilds recruiting everyone who can accept the invite.

TMO controls everything, army of other guilds doing fear/hate/sky

Rangers get 40% hybrid exp penalty, so take that any way you want.

Such overwhelming encouragement!

That being said, the one thing I've learned from this server is that everybody apparently loathes rangers. There's literally a single ranger for every twenty players of any other class, it seems. Asking a higher-level ranger about their experience finding groups is like talking to a victim of assault.

I always loved rangers on classic. Played one myself to ~40. I thought they were fun.

It's kind of like a bard from D&D. They're pretty good, but every person seems to have an arbitrary and unconditional hatred for them.

?

A lot of people do not realize there are class/race exp penalties so I was just highlighting that for him.

Given that this game is known for having a slower leveling timeline than traditional MMO's understanding that your class has an additional 40% penalty ontop of that is something new players should be aware of. There is already a large churn rate of people around level 40-50 not to mention 50+ so picking a class you enjoy is important.

To expand on what you said, that 40% exp penalty ends up diluting the exp gains of groups so people frequently avoid hybrids in groups, especially rangers since they are easily avoided due to the large number of monks and rogues around that fill the same group role of dps.

Never really got into a ranger, dabbled here and there on live. It's what I wan't to level up and experience classic content with. Already lvl 10. It's not bad its just I find myself listening to music and not having any play pals. Wingin it something fierce.

From my own experience I've played with a few rangers here on P99 that were amazing to have in group, but it was just due to being super twinks.

Rangering is fun, but you do have to be prepared for some prejudice and discrimination. This makes showing what a ranger can do when played well kinda fun tho. The 50-60 grind is going to be very, very difficult for you as a ranger, so keep that in mind as well.

I've yet to come across a group in KC who welcomed a ranger in as soon as he LFG'd. Velious is another issue though with the hybrid penalty gone... great time to level one.
