new cleric to p1999 red

Whom-pah · #1 10-12-2017, 04:16 PM

hey @everyone,

i am new here as of yesterday. i rolled a gnome cleric on red and i plan to play evenings from about 9pm pacific time to 12am pacific time.

i don't have any statistics around the population of everquest back in 1999 - ~2002 but my gut tells me it was a bit less than the population on blue which made me worry about crowding.

at any rate, i hope to see you all around. it's a shame i am so late to the server, but i have been enjoying a couple of the custom servers on eqemulator for the past few years.

I have a lv 15 shaman, been out of town but will be back sunday.

I took a similar path as you and played many of the other servers for years before leaping into the P99 scene. Being super casual, I don't raid but I get to have some gaming fun when/if I want + how I want. I haven't played on Red as much as Blue but both have decent players that will extend the olive branch when you're around. Welcome aboard fellow EQ'er. /salute

Don't underestimate the power of undead nukes! Kurn's Tower is definitely the best solo CLR 9-22 spot!

@cylock - i appreciate the welcome.

i forgot to mention that my ign is baubleberry if anyone wants to group when i get a bit higher level

You'll find cleric to be very rewarding if you enjoy the support role. You'll be needed for just about everything.

@symbioticforks - yeah, that's what i was thinking. worst case i have lull and undead nukes for the lonely nights. slow and steady!

i had my first pvp encounter today. despite having no chance, it was still fun.

i got a tell afterwards "go back to blue idiot". unfortunately, i don't have anything on blue to go back to, but i appreciate the time this person took to contact me directly; it made our brief encounter more intimate. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Name and shame them.

If they are pvp'ing low level toons, that probably means they can't take it high level.

@rivera, @clazxiss - it's all good. i didn't get camped. maybe it was just their way of welcoming me to red.

i am getting close to level 9, and i joined up with sanctuary. they seem like a solid group of folks so far.

all said, and while short, my experience has been quite the opposite of the "red hate" posts i've been reading. hopefully the streak continues!
