Hello! New To Project 1999

[hobowillie]

Hello everyone!

I just got all signed up to play Project 1999. I played original Everquest (around 1999-2000) for a bit. I was pretty young and I think I only got to the mid-30s or low 40s on a Barbarian Shaman when I played but I do have fond memories of the game and got a nostalgia itch to check it back out.

I originally loaded up the "retail" version of the game for the tutorial but then I found out about P1999 and that seemed like it might scratch the above itch a bit better. I definitely got hit with the nostalgia of how setting up games to play used to be. Definitely makes me appreciate Steam a bit more since modern games take a couple clicks and you are good to go.

I'm thinking of starting on Green, as that seems to be the server that is better for low levels finding groups, but I'm open to any if someone's persuasive enough. I'm thinking I will play a monk or a druid, but haven't quite decided yet.

I set up WinEQ2 and got the resolution to where I like it. Is there anything else people generally do to get the game more palatable on modern systems? I saw things about Duxa UI and such but most of the posts were pretty old, so I was wondering if there were different opinions 10 years on.
