I still think OP is #mad

there's a certain eloquence and efficiency to not overdoing the communication. At some point you reach the point of marginal return and you just clobber any point you had to begin with.

OP you did that. I'm calling u on it. Don't QQ in RnF and expect a big rainbow goatsee waterfall of sparklies. mmmkaaaaayy

#i'meloquent :P and ur a talking liek a tarded firegiant, go to oasis it's the place were all scrubs are accepted on to the server, guk is also a goog spot, and for fucks sake, someone go to permafrost that place is a ghost town

p.s. i've totally just leveled people on both servers on my mains for the hell of it and vice versa without anyone asking, the problem is you seem to go to a place and expect something given to you, that attitude usually gets people to ignore u pretty quick

which is what you're ranting about

obvs mad, I hope I CLARIFIED what I think about your paragraphs of tears

Not trolling. Try Red. Lower population, no elitist group attitude. Groups running all level ranges all the time. Its not all psychopaths and bergers over here either. The only real difference is that the few people who are really jerks can kill you instead of just following you around ksing you or refusing to invite you to their group. At least give it a fair shot. You obviously haven't liked your experience on blue so far. What do you have to lose?

Like they said Tunnel is full of rats focused on chat trying to flip items. I've seen countless players sit w low lvl groups and buff, ds, etc. I do it on my mage..folks hand out low end gear to ghetto twink true newcomers.

Just be polite and do your thing you'll find people. And if someone's a dick don't cry just keep moving. Their out there but few and far between.


Ps; a 30k warrior twink is no twink. Warriors super expensive!

Project 1999 Red my friend.

Contrary to the PvP clause, players are extremely friendly. People want to encourage you to stay on the server and keep the population rising (unlike blue). People are always opening their banks and tossing out mid-level gear to new players that spend a bit of time chatting and explaining their circumstance.

Personally, I can't count the amount of Banded Armor sets and sch I've gifted to new players I come across. Take the Red pill!

But you have to be at least level 10 or something, right?

Anyway. I still think one of these days I'll actually put some real effort into leveling something on red. I've been wanting to for a while. But to be completely honest about it I am just really bad at PvP...

There, I admitted it. Lol

shrug, who cares if you're bad. it adds another level of difficulty and gameplay to everquest.

this is why you play on red and kill him when he does this.

This ^

Is why I love red. When people do douchey things you just kill em. It's written into the server code. Their weapons and spells take a significant negative hit making it 100% you will win.

Easy way to have fun on P99:

Avoid EC tunnel / commonlands.
Do not tradeskill until your into 50's.
Roll a toon on Feydwer, preferrably something good in both group and solo scenarios.
Hunt in gfay/cb/unrest/mistmoore.
Leave at level 45.
Go to CoM/DL until 50.
Go to KC until 54.
Go to Seb until 60 farming plat.
Fast forward 2 years and twink an alt.
Help others who are struggling like you ar enow.

Do any of the current players even want new people to start playing on p99? The reason I ask is because I've been playing for about 3 weeks, I've been in every starter zone, starter dungeon, and spent some time in EC and from everything I've encountered the experienced players on this server decidedly DO NOT want new players to join the community. You can tell who is experienced and who isn't by their twink gear and how they act. For example, a 10th level ogre warrior wearing 30k in twink gear, a 54th bard in full SS swarmkiting 90% of the open area of LOIO, mobs that are at least 15, probably 20 levels below him, leaving few mobs for anyone else to pull. Or the fact that experienced players will KS you anytime they want, the fact that after hunting in EC for over 6 hours, politely asking for buffs about every 30-45 minutes so as to be as little of a pest as possible, that aside from SoW every now and then, a 10th level shaman who buffed me to his full capacity more than once (and was handsomely tipped for it), very few people even acknowledged my presence.

I wasn't begging for plat, I wasn't begging for free gear, I was politely asking for buffs to help out a newbie and recently returned player. I've not leveled very far because I'm trying to NOT beg. I'm trying to bootstrap my toons like we had to back in 2001. I'm farming low blues and greens for tradeskill mats; I'm working baking, brewing, blacksmithing, and tailoring with every spare copper I have so I can be as self-sufficient as possible. But for my work, I've experienced very little in return from the sense of community standpoint. Almost nothing, very little help or even interaction at all.

And now back to my question, do any of the current players even want new people to start playing on p99? The reason I ask is because when I played EQ in my prime EQ days of Kunark, Velious, and Luclin; a toon couldn't walk 3 zones without someone throwing a sow or buffs at them without them even asking. KSing wasn't as rampantly experienced by me back then as it has been since I came to p99. I've played other games, DAoC, AoC, WoW, CoH/CoV, SWG, DDO, you name it. What I am looking for is the sense of community in a game that I experienced back when I played EQ, and I think my concern as it relates to what I want from a game is very valid considering what I have experienced thus far. Don't get me wrong, it's not all bad, but when there are 175+ people in EC, at least 35 people above 45 in the zone at all times in a six hour period with people filtering in and out as they do...and the only guy to throw me buffs is a 10th level shaman that I actually banded for on discount week ago? That makes me wonder if I am wasting my time even trying to come back and enjoy this game. A game can have the best play ever, but if the community is a bunch of elitists too busy auctioning gear in EC to interact or buff a newbie player in crap gear not 10 feet from them, then what is the point of even trying? Someone please tell me, because I don't know what to make of it...

I am new as well (lvl 25 so far) but I can tell you, whenever I am in EC auctioning, I am also playing path of exile, and checking back on EQ every once in a while.

I would assume most of the auctioneers are also playing other games, or otherwise distracted, and are not paying close attention while in EC.

You shouldnt get upset by the fact that EC tunnel auctioning is boring, and people arent paying much attention while there.
