Good move, but about 4 years too late for the server.

Assuming everyone is like you and all about powerleveling to max as soon as they spawn in.

I don't really have a stake to comment further as I just found that comment ridiculously off the wall given the post. '99, '97, such a massive jump in gaming technology there [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

They need to bring back spell timers now.

Well, the guy did ask how to get from 24-46 in a short amount of time. There's also no mention of powerleveling.

You found me correcting the guy on when the game came out, ridiculous? Okay, anyways, I'd say the pentium 3 was a good jump from the pentium 2, Then there's the geforce 256.

If you're an epic twink, sure. 24-33 solo/duo in sola, 33-40 solo/duo lguk BR, 40-44 yetis in DL, 40-46 Lguk/CoM. Avoid anything over a duo unless the class is a must, don't invite a hybrid.

edit: Sol A can take you to about 37/38 when you move to bartender area.
Sorry mate, you aren't gaining 22 levels in 18 hours. Unless it's a bard PL. And you're a pbae class, or have a friend that's a pbae thats to PL with you.

Now we just need to disable epic MQing. Honestly surprised it was ever allowed in the first place considering we have a no boxing rule.
pretty epic false equivalency here.

Endless hours of porting May-June this year to be able to afford my first and only Epic MQ. 30k for a lvl 34 Main (porter) is a hell lot of money..
I understand the reason .. but for me personally it really sucks, because it was a totally waste of time.

Sad day for me.. I guess im out, GL all.

Nimly/Rinluan/Bafoon
Perhaps level to 46.. and use... the.. epic

Nilbog, I don't play P99 much lately but adding level requirements like this is a bad idea overall. You are killing what is left of the "classicness" out of the server. It wont' be before too long, some other group of people come along and capitalize on your downfalls.

My recommendation for this situation is to go ahead and put level requirements on turn ins instead of the actual item. This isn't classic as well but it preserves more of that classic feel than the other.

Hopefully you guys can get back on the right track on the server. IMO a new server needs to be opened soon so that all of the newer P99 folks can enjoy day one of a real classic blue server.
