Newbie guide: http://wiki.project1999.com/Players:Newbie
Maps: http://wiki.project1999.com/Zones

Basic direction on what to do: find low level monsters (right click on stuff; if it's red or yellow, stay away, if it's white or blue, kill it (later on, whites will be too hard to kill by yourself) and kill them. Level up. Go from there.

If you crash then you have to wait a couple minutes for the server to log your character out so you can log back in.

most classic thread ever.

error 1018 sucks, you crash but your char stays in game for several minutes waiting to get kicked you just have to wait a few minutes and you can log back in.

xD Yeah, it was annoying. I guess I'll load maps as little as possible.

How do I do more damage? I hit bats like 1, and they take 60+ seconds to kill. My Swallow Breath skill doesn't even do any nice damage and fails 9/10 goes. qq I feel like I'm missing something.

If/when you find your guild master, you can train the ability of whatever weapon you are using. Example- 1h or 2h slashing if you use a sword.

Gotta disagree here. Qeynos is smaller and easier to navigate than Freeport. It also has a lot more and better quests for newer players. Diseased pelts are great cash and exp. Gnoll fangs are great exp. There's a +3 intelligence earring quest, and +5 HP rings and earrings down in the catacombs. Blackburrow is an excellent dungeon.

The biggest problem is that part of the world is emptier than Freeport. But there's usually some people around. And if you don't start in Qeynos, you miss out on the epic journey across the continent once you outgrow that area. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Make sure you have a weapon equipped. If you die, you lose your items. Killing stuff hand-to-hand is too slow to be effective unless you're a monk.

Roll a monk... never loot corpse.

yeah make sure to equip youre dagger, enc im guessing, and train at your guildmaster put points into piercing to help at first right click on the gm to train.

you wont be able to land a spell if you get hit so you have to time your casts between mob attacks, there is a weird issue that's different than live and receiving interrupts even after you cast but youll get used to it.

itll be harder at level one because everything is equal level or higher when you get a few levels youll be able to kill lower level mobs a lot faster, might not be as much experience but youll get a better feel for combat, imo.

qeynos is good if you know the area and quests but for a brand new player that doesn't know any of the quests and 90% of npcs don't respond itll be harder for them to find without checking out all the guides. I always find it easier as a newer player to make as many friends as possible off the bat, helps me stay interested and not get frustrated but that's me )

Thanks for your help guys. Is there anyway to get a map IG from anywhere or would that be against the rules? Exploring cities is near impossible without qq
