Should I come back??

I too have played just about every MMO out there and while WoW had it's moments during it's launch and subsequent 1-2 expansions, it eventually lost it's way and became a borefest of trivial numbers and ever decreasing social aspect.

I've been on P99 for about 2 weeks now, my dark elf necro is level 22, albeit I'm struggling a bit with leveling right now, I'm easily bored by afk grinding and end up exploring places I shouldn't be at, or exp'ing in places where fearing results in trains, alas, still having a blast.

The reception I've had on the server is amazing, there's far more people in every zone that I visit compared to how live server was when I played there back in the day, I've got like 10 people on my friends list already, I've been given up to 100 plat from strangers and like 10 pieces of gear with decent + stats on them from random friends I've met / people I've grouped with.

I forgot what the term community meant after playing modern day MMO's for so long.

I have been off and on the server for a couple years now, but I had a very similar start. I played WoW, Eve, DAoC, EQ2, Aion, etc. But there just doesn't seem to be the same community that EQ has. I remember being like a level 25 SK on P99 in 2011, and a guy gave me an MoSS. Was just like "Here, you need this!" Just amazing.

I have in turn done the same. I am pretty sure I have given away 4 different pairs of 5ac/55hp rings to people I have seen playing in EC or Nek forest, and bought a full set of banded for a guy, because a DE warrior should not be seen wearing leather he found off orc corpses.

OMG so many replies. Sorry I haven't had the time to respond to you all. I've been leveling up my wiz! My name is Pokushocus in game, and I have been happily doing my thing in Greater Faydark.

Needless to say, but said anyways: I'm back!

You make it sound like this is bad. More time to play without those distractions!

Should I come back??
I played EQ1 since launch and well into the Kunark expansion. My cleric was very well geared and my guild proudly had many server firsts. (Rathe) It was the best gaming experience I have ever had, and I miss it. Oh the stories I have... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I left EQ for Wow (I know, slap me please!) then spent a decade jumping from MMO to MMO to try and find and relive the feeling I had in EQ1 - but sadly I have discovered that I will never get that feeling back with any other MMO....

So here I am... thinking about coming back.... this Project 1999 indeed does seem interesting.

Starting over from scratch is the only negative thing making me think twice about coming back, but it sure would be nice to spawn into the old world again.

I would need a home though! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

What do you all think?

Welcome! Hope to see u in game.

[Robbintha Hood]

Do it.

[Morlaeth]

See you in game.

Hmm I swear I already replied to this thread. Does each post get screened or something?

Second try...

Anyways I am back & loving it. Pokushocus is my Wizard's name. I used to be a cleric named Crycian.

I'm in the same boat as the OP. I've been away for years. I've been checking in on this over the last few years and finally decided to take the plunge myself. I wish I would have done it years ago. No other game has had the feeling this game given me.

"Just Say No to Drugs". EQ IS a drug. So to the OP, just say no. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I gave you several RL reasons above. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
