Considering playing again

[Gaunja]

Took a break from p99 for a while and im getting the EQ itch again. I would play on blue but everything is over camped and not to mention my account was hacked and stripped. Any other newer players want to group possibly? I think I have a 30+ druid.

get on red, buy pumices and pots and learn to pvp, its fun.

I come from Tallon Zek originally, so pvp is in my blood. Just wondering if it is worth it? Will there be leveling buddies?

Yeah, there are lots of groups to be found. The exp bonus strongly motivated everyone to assemble a 6-player group. Even if ideal group composition is not available, I've found most people are willing to try less conventional solutions, like druid+melee kiting groups, cleric/necro undead demolition groups in LGuk, monk tank groups, or other unusual tank choices with multiple rogues/DPS blowing up mobs so quickly that little healing is needed. Anyway, almost everyone on Red wants to group and there are people on nearly around the clock.

I didn't play PvP back on Live, but I'd guess there is a higher concentration of twinks (aggressive or not).

I considered logging back in at one point.

The only thing stopping me is the toxicity of the community more then anything, i enjoy PvP, i enjoy smacktalk, i don't mind if i die a bunch of times. I dislike playing with middle aged men that act like teenagers...

So, is the community still a bag of shit? or have things gotten better?

Stay off forums, turn off /ooc and use the mute function in ts liberally and you might be surprised.

It's not like tz

Would love to hear the story on how you got hacked. GM's help you if it's a legit hack (ie someone brute forcing your username/password)

Now, if you sold your items and/or gave access to a friend it is a very different situation.

No clue honestly. No one had my account info. Logged in after a year off and saw everything stripped except Jboots.

That can happen. A GM probably rmt'd your items away if you didn't.
