Questions for the new people.

[Iumuno]

Definitely gonna stay. I actually started 3 weeks ago, but still consider myself a newcomer.

A game without instancing just doesn't make sense without pvp. And the concept of competition on blue is laughable. I knew that before starting on p1999 blue, but the low population was putting me off. That plus being aware that a significant minority of the pvp crowd was extremely toxic (deleved, epiced fungi twinks... lol/sigh?) and with low playtime I didn't want to be stalked and corpse camped for hours on end.

But with the new rules and leveling off the beaten paths, it's been just fine.

I had a blast experiencing anew the excitement of being a real newbie! I know yesterday was a special situation since a LOT of people started a new character on Saturday. Therefore, on Sunday there were a LOT of people around levels 10-15 looking to group. The cooperation was fun, the experience bonus was crazy, and the chatting during down time was just like the good ol' days.

I was attacked by players only a few times. I knew to have my "Flash of Light" ready and was able to run like hell as soon as the root wore off. The fact that I survived suggests to me that the attackers were newbies just like me. I had a great laugh when I was attacked in the bank and watched as my attacker fled with a guard in hot pursuit.

The community here seemed quite welcoming. Thank you VERY much to the very nice ogre who saw my pathetic level 5 self, half dead, sitting to regen health and mana, and took pity, handing me over 500 gold, silver, and copper!! (I also received two nice weapons that I can sell when I figure out how that's done on this server.) My heart was racing as I gated home and realized that I was obviously encumbered as I ran to the bank--felt like I had a big red bullseye painted on my back!

A good time was had by all :-)

This, this, and this.

It's about excitement, folks. The playful kicks and slashes between melee during downtime, the unexpected root spell followed by buffs and heals, a whole group coming together to fight and protect a camp when another squad interlopes...

Newcomers, I know your heart started beating a bit faster when that humongous Troll Warrior appeared and started taking swings at you. Can you remember the last time you felt like that playing EQ? There's a level of danger here that gets me fired up.

Love this Server.

Welcome to all new players.

Push past the lower levels and the game will open up due to lack of low level twinks trying to grief you off of the server.

Starter money would have been nice, I can't afford spells because I haven't looted enough of value in the time it took to level to 9. I've only got a couple more levels before I can do bandits or something though, that'll turn things around.

When servers back up I'll do a small give-away, like 50 plat / person, maybe some minor items. Not wealthy myself but would like to help people get started.

Can PM me if you want to make sure you get something [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Being afraid of low lvl twinks is a horrible reason to not play here.

I have leveled at least 8 alts and had such little trouble getting pk'd every time i almost wonder if they exist.

I got my lizard sk to 23 this weekend and had an absolute blast. Although red does have its fair share of twinks, there was alot more players willing to help. I for one am definatly staying, I had a blast.

(For anyone who saw my earlier post I remade from Ogre to Iksar, tail envy is real)

[Molinior]

Leveled a Dwarf rogue to 5 and decided I needed a farming class so I rerolled lizard necro to 21 this weekend. Some jousting here and there but all before lvl 10. Looking forward to killing my first pale skin when servers come back up.

Reliving the glory days of RZ and TZ 14 years later is pretty legit.

welcome new dudes, add rumblebum (not to be confused with rumbum, who is someone i don't even know) for ports and stuff, just hit 38 be ready to port to all places soon.

Planning on restarting p99 exclusively on red (27 druid and 26 mage duo atm, haven't hit any griefers...yet). My friend and I used to play RZ on live, and it seems like it'd be fun. We're currently in MIM where no one logs on. Would love to find a group or guild with more active members.
