Potential New Player
I've been seeing things about Project 1999 for the last 4 years or so on YouTube. I would come across the name every time I would have a craving for nostalgia and would search YouTube videos of old EverQuest. I think I remember seeing something about Project 1999 before it came out (or shortly after) and though I liked the thought, I didn't really think it would last or be worth looking in to. But finally, this time I went on a nostalgia spree and came across it on YouTube I decided to actually look a little bit more into it. So I have been reading these forums, and it actually seems pretty awesome! Plus, there are actually new players within the last month! I figured it would be lacking in any players to level up with, but since I came across a couple new player posts, so I'm seriously considering trying this out.
I played back when I was probably in 3rd grade or so and so I was never actually any good. I would mostly just create characters and get them to like level 5-15. But I loved the atmosphere of the game. I remember coming back to it a couple years later after Planes of (Power? Knowledge? One of them) was out and it just wasn't the same. I played a little WoW when it came out and UO years ago but I haven't actually played an MMO in years (and rarely even play any other types of video games on PC or consoles), so I feel like that would make me enjoy this server even more! One thing I really like about this game that I remember is that you actually have to spend time traveling somewhere far away, you don't just have this go to teleporter that anyone can use. And there is no like minimap or whatever. It's more realistic in that you have to know landmarks and take the time to get to a place. AND you don't just go from zone to zone in a straight line after you get to a certain level, so traveling is actually something that you need to do. (Am I wrong about any of this?) So a question I have is just how populated are the lower level areas? Like if I were to start up in Freeport or Kelethin would I be seeing many people or would it be pretty dead? How many new people do you see around? And how many people would I see who weren't actually new to the server but were lower level alts? When people level up alts do they typically do it in a similar fashion as a new player or do they just power level somehow? | ||

Very populated. New players joining every day. Freeport and Kelethin are both good. Qeynos is dead. With EQMac dying, now is a good time to join as a chunk of them will be creating toons for the first time on P99. Plenty of people level alts by just having them group with others (although majorly twinked).
Come join the fun.

I was in the same boat as you - early EQ had been pretty much the only MMO I ever played before I found this server. Plenty of new people around the Freeport and Gfay area and plenty of people levelling up alts with varying degrees of twinkage.
Get involved - you won't regret it.

I am in the process of leveling up a druid (level 14 now) and recently migrated from Qeynos to Freeport. Qeynos was far from dead, especially in Blackburrow. I had little trouble in grinding 1-14 in the Qeynos region.
I look forward to seeing you and other new players in game! | ||

I would say this: It's free and if you are feeling nostalgic, give it a try. Being that you were in 3rd grade when you played, and you liked it even then... you'll probably love it now! And in the worst case scenario, it's free and you spent no money in your attempt to see if you liked it! Give it a go!

Seems like some good logic to me, I'll try getting it set up in the next week or so, hopefully it goes smoothly... but for some reason, I have my doubts about getting it running, heh, hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised.
