New to the server, hello everyone.

[Weidar]

Hey guys and thanks to those creating this server and the 1999 wiki.

I first started playing EQ in 2003 on the Drinal server so i never experienced the classic era, but here i am on a journey to experience something new. I created an iksar necro after reading sesserdrix guide on the wiki, first i was going to roll a erudite but why not make it a little harder and choose a race hated by everyone?

I am on the blue server and the game is really rough as a newbie, i just dinged lvl6 but i still only have my robe and a dagger, talk about difference compared to 2003 when i got some armor and weapon as help from a friend ingame. Now i cant just rush true mobs with 10 times the starting hp and level fast, now i have to be cautious and use some survival tactics, its a great challenge and i love it!

My necro is named Elmek and yesterday some kind guy from the guild Europa handed me some coin out of the blue, it was hundreds of copper, silver and gold. What a pleasant surprise, i went to the banker and exchanged it for platinum and it turns out to be 20pp !!

Awesome, i went of to buy some bags and pick up lvl 1 and lvl 4 spells and after thanking this kind man once again i went out to FoB. There sure are alot of mobs roaming here, i did turn ins for bone chips and scorpion pincers and reaching lvl5 went pretty fast.

When i was about to log another guy comes up and gives me 7pp, holy crap is it my birthday? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Thank you guys for the pp, i bought more bags and banked the rest of the money.

This was a great start my first day on p99, today i have only managed to reach lvl6, most mobs are turning green and i hope i can con a few more white cons at the ramps now that i am lvl 6, picking of scorpions, spiders and skeletons that are not red con.

The only thing i miss so far is guild chat. Catching up with people, hearing their stories of conquer and defeat, seeing someone succeed with epics and so on.

I guess i will have to reach atleast lvl 35 before i can apply to a guild because i have looked around the boards and all seem to have lvl requirements, the social part of the game is dearly missed while guildless.

That aside, i really love this server and the awesome wiki, its like allakhazam and eqatlas and trader rolled into one. Really great guides and help with setting up the whole thing.

Sorry for the lengthy intro but i just had to let you guys know how much fun it is to play EQ old school, and thanks again to those who have helped me so far with pp and buffs!

Oh wait, one more thing, the only way to get to EC from here is by port right? Sorry 47 years old and senile like i was 87.
