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.

That sounds fucking awful.

I'll reiterae for the pundits here.

To be so emotionally invested in the ethical and moral compass of this community as an individual requires some obsessive and compulsive underlying issues which is preventing you from appreciating and valueing the unique individual virtues of each player.

When I log into this game. It is wonderful and fun because of the diversity of players. I have such great karma that I never ever experience what the OP is QQing about.

Also, the mistimoore/KC/Seb route is great IF you want to develop your interpersonal skills.

Red really is an antisocial environment. However the small cliques you will form there are much closer nit.

However only expect to have like 1-2 friends/people to talk to rather then the multitudes on blue who can all be utilized if your not a mental patient yourself.

P.S.P.S. Tiggles, ur posts R cute.

Estrogen is one hell of a pharmaceutical which just so happens to also be a lovely natural part of most of our biologies, I highly recommend you all try it.

Only because you're not a fresh player.

I'd also add the suggestion "avoid Chardok AE" because that's filled with some of the worst min/maxing crybabies around. Your first 60 should be leveled with the purpose of meeting like minded people and figuring out what style of raiding you'd like to get into.

I know, they forgot to add "Avoid Tiggles" to that list.

I'll agree with that, We have so many fucking apps whose first character was leveled from 55+ in Chardoc AE or we have bards who level exclusively by swarm kiting and have never been in a group.

These apps usually never make it.

If you think things are "bad" now just starting here recently, you should have joined when the server went live like I did. No one was high level and the competition was extreme and out of control with training and cheating. Compared to then, now the server is virtually paradise.

As to your issues with people being disinterested, you may be somewhat unlucky too. Send tells to specific people who you know are not AFK if you need a buff. Plenty of people turn off or ignore /say or /ooc chat and only use /tell. In any case most people I know go out of their way to assist newbies that ask them.

As for what I do when I encounter newbies is to usually give them basic advice if they don't know much, buff them to the max, and only give them enough pp or gear to help get started. What I don't do is give newbies too much pp or gear to ruin the experience of "earning" their own way through EQ.

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

I'm horrible. Do what I do. Put forth your best effort. Remember what you did wrong, ask questions and call LNS. As long as you don't carry plat on you, you really don't lose much. Its no worse than any other corpse run.

OP: rose-colored glasses. all things considered, you're going to have a much easier time leveling here than on live. people give away shit all the time here that would have made me jump up and down in my chair to have on live.

i used a fine steel axe with my SK on live until i was 25. here, someone gave me a green jade halberd when i was like 5
