I like it hard
So I played EQ many years ago, then played WoW or many years.
I then tried the free to play EQ for a little bit, but it didn't seem quite the same. However this Project 1999 is just what I am looking for, for that old difficult EQ gameplay. Yes, it can be tough, but man it is rewarding to do even the smallest things. So I have to struggle to find my class vendors, but memory helps and I do. Then the first level is tough. I'm just struggling to get enough money to buy a spell. I die a couple of times to roaming skeletons. But I hang in there to level 4, now with about 60 gold and every slot has a backpack. I'm on my way after the first day. This is what I mean, about having to pay attention to your surroundings. You have to be careful, clever, and even looting some lowbie tunic is like a huge treasure. There's no hand holding, and very little forgiveness, but this is how I remember it. It is a great experience to play with the old rules. I won't bash the newer games, they are ok for what they are. But no other MMO was like old EQ. It makes a man out of you.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

I can think of tons of advice, but loads of it is scattered around on the forums already... seek, and you shall find! However, I think naturally immersing yourself in the "old world" is a sense of magic in itself - glad you're enjoying it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Original ultima online along with the first expansion are very unforgiving. Was a great introduction to MMO's for me. Made classic everquest seem not bad at all- losing exp is always better than losing all ur items everytime you die to anything, npcs included.

I briefly considered making an Iksar necro, but I decided to go with Dark Elf. I also have created a magician up to level 4, but I will stay with the necro. I like the multiple utility spells that they get for getting out of a jam (slow the mob, feign death, fear and run). Back in the day on live EQ, I played a necro and a druid. I might someday make a halfling druid alt. | |||

I went into a dungeon once, forgetting I had my key and rune to my guilds tower in my backpack. At the time, you would ban people from entering a house, but you had to target them to do it. I got killed and looted, and a whole bunch of people teleported to our tower and tried to ransack it. I was inside and kept trying to ban anyone that entered. But they kept coming, and dragging out items before I could ban them all. They managed to get a few items, but I kept them from looting every last thing. They would have killed me if they could have reached the 2nd floor. It was horrible, and I was freaking out. The game was still a lot of fun, but yeah you could mess up big time in that game. | |||
