Any guide suggestions for a new player?

[ALTitis]

Hello! I just discovered Project 1999. I've never really gotten into EQ in the past, but for some reason I am finding the low poly look very nostalgic.

Anyone have suggestions on guides to follow so I am not endlessly wandering around Qeynos or wherever my starter zone is. I am not sure what I should be focusing on as soon as I am plopped into the world.

Thanks!

type in "qeynos project 1999" and click the wikipedia page and look at the maps.

Nice job getting the game to load up dude, thats the hard part.

Not knowing WTF to do is kind of the best part of the game, relish it.

/c or /con or /consider will tell you if you can kill a given enemy. You're going to be looking for the newbie yard with rats and things and to start killing them and getting experience points.

I guess its a steep learning curve I can't remember its been a zillion years. Welcome to the game!

There are guides for specific classes, guides for specific starting areas (including Qeynos), and so on. If you're completely new, I'd start with the "Newbie Guide", https://wiki.project1999.com/Players:Newbie (and then maybe look at the Qeynos starting guide and a guide or two for your class).

Thanks for the replies guys. That wiki is super helpful. Exactly what I needed. I will probably start as something simple like a fighter/warrior type while I grasp the game.

I remember owning the game around when it came out but I didn't get too much further than the first few levels. I probably ended up stopping because of the learning curve. These days I miss having a learning curve when starting a game. Everything is too familiar.

If you get the hang of eq and want an even earlier experience check out m59 on steam. Two of the original devs still run the three active servers and it hasn’t changed in almost 30 years.

105/112 are the best servers [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Oh, I put "m59" into the search bar on the Steam store, and got "0 results match your search". What am I missing?

Ohhh ... Meridian 59! I remember that, as my brother played it. It came out before EQ by 2 or 3 years if I remember correctly. I never played it, so no real desire to try it now, but I can see it appealing to those who played it back in the 90s.
