First time playing any everquest game.

Definitely looking forward to joining a guild, things are a bit lonely at the moment.

Thanks for listing those for me I'll have a look at what looks good to me!

You're thinking of EQ like a modern MMO. EQ is the child of DnD and the parent of WoW. Guilds on p99, from what I can tell, are less of a social circle and more of a resource pool so don't expect to join one soon. But I could be wrong, I just started myself. You can't be afraid to just throw yourself out there and socialize. People, in general, are also a LOT more helpful here than current MMOs. I think that there's a sort of underground mentality at play. You found the rabbit hole. Welcome to Wonderland.

Getting absolutely destroyed by white orcs and couldn't find anyone else around to group with so gonna call it a day I think.

In regards to this, the /con system is misleading, again, if you're experience is in current MMOs. White con means the mob is even in level with you. Even in level in EQ at low levels means it's gonna be an even fight. You have a 50-50 shot of victory. At higher levels you don't fight even, you fight to win. Remember, at lvl 5 you loose XP when you die and it SUCKS to un-ding a hard earned level.

Do I have reason? Will I be able to avoid mobs on the long ass trek to freeport?

I thought maybe each class had a quest chain, but after spending hours getting four 0.5-2 percent drop rate items for the druid dude man he's just like do it again or leave me alone. Now I feel lost and helpless without a guild or quests to follow.

Is it cool to just bolt to freeport as a level 3?

yea its totally cool. No hand holding in EQ. You're in their world now. Do what you do IRL while you play! Like the beach? head to the oasis, like the woods, stay in faydark. Want to live in the big city? head on over to FP and get those buffs!

Just try not to go link dead while crossing the oceans like this guy: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=229625

Yeah it was just weird going from killing whites at level 2 in a few hits to not even being able to get 25 percent off a single white orc at 4, I guess I'm weaker to them in whatever way.

I knew you'd lose XP....I did not know you could fucking un-ding a level.

Jesus christ. Do you at least get locked @ max level?

What? EverQuest would NEVER be that easy! It's not here to hold your hand, it's here to kill you.

No. You go to 99% as a buffer though from what I remember of my time on live. As you get higher though you'll come into contact with rezzers (clerics, pallies, and necros) or at least be able to "buy" their services. Rez in EQ is more important for its XP return than it is for saving you traveling (actually you may have to be in the same zone to be eligible for res? not sure).

lol all if this will give you the "classic" actual physical shakes while you play this game as if you were in a real fight.

once I threw up becuse I first got ITU when i was a kid, and got face to face with a zombie in northern Ro.. my friend kept goating me to get closer, i was so scared I got sick and threw up lol

So I guess the moral of the story is, if you even suspect you're going to loose a fight, run. Pride is a newbie's vice. Also remember that those asshats of mobs will chase you across the ENTIRE zone. They will only stop if you zone, you can make it to a guard (and hope the guard kills it before it kills you), or another player sees your plight and intervenes.

Hilarious and totally legit. Kinda goes along with the last bit I mentioned about someone saving your ass. The result is something I call the Superman stupor. Be ready to feel something akin worship for your non-caped savior.
