I've never been able to raid end game on Project 1999

Same here. I'd love to see a raid one of these days but I need to get over my chronic rerolling problem, and actually get a character into that range. I've probably done it literally a hundred times on Green thus far lols.

Finally don't play a druid.

What's wrong with druids? I was told they were plenty viable in raids.

Stop rerolling and get your fav full caster(preferably not necro/Druid because they’re most abundant and also they’re a Jack of all trades, master of one that isn’t useless but it’s not priority dps cause everyone’s Druid/necro seat is already taken due to the popularity of those classes. Why: necros and Druids are good solers while lfg so they’re kinda the easiest to level without turbulence. Necros are #1 dots and Druids are #1 snare) to 60 so you can attend raids to rack up dkp and farm gear for your alts in the free time.

If your favorite class to play is a Druid or a necro, do that. What’s most important is that you play a class you enjoy the play style of. IMHO most people who main a Druid or necro wanted to play either a ranger or sk but main a Druid/Necro out of circumstance.

The rerolling is just something I'm finding hard to help, been trying to find the perfect class that I can click with forever. I'd go, play a class for a few days to a month, decide to try something else, go to EC to sell my gear and buy new gear, and that's been my cycle since the beginning of Green, lols. I'm up to wheeling and dealing about 10k worth of stuff by now.

Druid was one of those classes I did consider for a while. It's got a lot going for it, it's fun, and very useful out in the world. What turned me off though was the sheer number of them and the fact that they can't really go into Neriak, my favorite city in the game. But I did hear that they do have their uses in raids, my only real concern was getting a spot due to the number of them out there.

Right now I'm playing an enchanter, but I'm finding it difficult at the moment and my brain is already screaming at me to stop and find something else to play.

Not trying to preach too much cause I’m just returning myself: but a lot feels the same as classic. 10k plat is a lot but it’s not the same currency as the dkp you need for end game gear.

I’m probably still gonna have a piece or two of cloth when I’m 50: getting gear as you go is much more rewarding than what I remember of the insanity of liquidating my current main to peewee twink my new roll.

I’ve been in that cycle as a kid playing, rerolling and liquidating my current main for my reroll. It’s a tortuous cycle and I hope you get out of it. Maybe try making a new toon and not transferring any items to it and just playing it from the ground up.

Join a casual guild then cry about a hardcore guild getting all the loot.

Not sure if you were around when the monthly open raids existed, but it was a really bad experience for several reasons. Open raids were cancelled, but now the end game is basically join Seal Team to participate in open raids (zerg) EVERY weekend. Except all the loot goes to the top 50 people in the guild who literally have no lives. These are people that wouldn't attend a family funeral if Trak's in window. If you want to experience end game content, you have to grind with/for these miserable people in a zerg-like setting where your class doesn't matter. When your class doesn't matter, what's the point in playing Everquest?

Player turnover is an issue on Green for this reason.

Is that all true? Damn...

I thought there were other, more inclusive and viable raiding guilds I could join later, as well as the open raids I heard about. Are those really not a thing anymore?

Maybe a swap to blue is in order but I'd hate to leave behind my box of abu-kar lol.

There are plenty of other guilds raiding. ST takes down more targets than anyone else, but that doesn't mean that no one else kills anything.

Just get to 50 and apply to a guild: send tells to group with them during your application process. Even if you suck at the game and your class they will call you out and give you constructive criticism- if you don’t listen you’re not going to get guided and your only raids will be open naggy/vox raids so don’t level past 52.

/toggleinspect off and think about the game and how it works and less about your pixel fashion show. That’s how I play and that’s my advice.
