I'm not having fun playing this game. Why?

[Zuranthium]

Wolf form did make people non-KOS in many good-aligned places, but Skeleton form was KOS most places.

I guess you are right. I am already 28 years old and never touched this game before. The learning curve is too big. I would rather play easier casual games. Thanks for being so honest with me. I'll quit P99. I will remain on this forum still though.

Visit the necromancer spell vendors in cabilis, purchase Spell: Leering Corpse and scribe it into your spell book like you did with minor shielding and lifetap, head back to Field of Bone, kill "a scorpion"s and "a carrion hatchlings". Look for rusty and tarnished shantoks. Give one of these to your pet and it will now hit for around 17 damage. That is a lot. If you are feeling brave find the spiderling infested catacomb to kill bonecrawler hatchlings and bonebinder hatchlings (which are strangely missing from wiki).

Good luck if you do decide to keep playing.

Which is also feedback...

Feedback for the feedback, in fact!

I guess it's possible I just never knew this. Or maybe I did know it but kind of forgot over the years.

Also highlighted the part in orange because I've had so many people on P99 try to argue with me over the years that leveling in LOIO wasn't classic when I regularly remember there being 100-200 people there at any given time on my server. I always tell my WoW folks that LOIO was the original barrens chat. And it truly was.

LOIO being so crowded is why a lot of us started to level in the mudhole area in OT instead.

Even if it was exactly the same as it is on p99, skeleton rarely has a positive faction modifier (like Paineel) but rather like Wolf my understanding is it strips racial faction modifier.

The necro thing is still a problem. However, plenty of ways to get around it. Can but cloudy potions prior to Gather Shadows or bum a invis. Start a level 1, drop a few peridots, buy food water and spells, do that again. Go back to being a reclusive gamer wherever you want to play.

My first ever toon was a Dwarf Warrior. The thing to do was get to 17-20 or so in Crushbone, then take the boat to LOIO.

Back when this game came out, people were figuring it out together. The tips and tricks of how to play was often shared socially. Have a question? Ask another player.

What server are you on? Blue or Green? I'd roll a lil iksar to help get you acquainted.

This game isnt really beginner friendly. A clunky interface combined with a first-of-its-kind game results in a lot of really rough edges.

But, a lot of us come to enjoy it.

Overcoming the difficulties and becoming a good player is really satisfying in a game that is very unforgiving.

It's a big world and there's a lot to learn. So much so that someone playing for 20 years still has stuff to learn.

Wolf form being KOS to brownies was a certain surprise on live. Never killed one but was kos. They just hate fake wolves apparently.

good duos / trios / 4 mans are the key to enjoying this game properly

"1-11 - Field of Bone, in the pit...and mobs around the outside."

But I DON'T GET IT. Here in this guide it says to level from 1 to 11 in Field of Bone but I can't find any enemies to level me up. All I can do at level 5 is farm bone chips or curscales and submit them for quest exp. What else can I do? There are no enemies in Field of Bone that give decent exp, unless they will kill me easily.

How do I know how to level up from 1-60 as an Iksar Necromancer. Do I have to read and manifest 20 pages of guides before playing a class in this game? This is why this game doesn't get more players, it needs too much knowledge. How do I know which mobs to kill?

I went around in a circle of the Field of Bone pit and found no good enemies for exp. I can kill blues, but that lasts days until I get a level up, unless I just farm Bone Chips but you said it's bad.

This mentality is why modern games stink. They're mindless faceroll clickfests where everything is handed to you like a participation trophy.
