This community is much better than it was in 1999!

[Alwaysusa]

I've been playing for about 2 weeks now, trying to get back some of those feelings that I haven't experienced since.

And I'm getting them. The immersion and connection is still there. The isolation, the feeling of elation when you scrape through a battle, the frustration when you run to the Gnome guards because an earth elemental is hammering you - only to discover the guards don't have magic swords and ignore them.

But this is much, much better. The community, though small, is fantastic. Everyone is kind, and gracious. Most of the people I've met so far just want the same thing as me - a bit of nostalgia but without the aggro (from mobs OR players). Tonight I made the daunting run to EC to sell some bone chips so I could buy my level 12 necro spells - and as soon as I auctioned them someone asked if i was new, told me he'd buy a stack - then gave me an awesome robe and 130 plat. So friendly, and I've had that experience every time I log on.

So thank you to the P99 team for recreating the feeling of classic EQ, and managing to improve on it.

Rez me in Kithicor if you see me...

I’ve been playing since Friday, and I co-sign this paper work. Very similar experience, someone was selling a few pieces of glossmer and I /tell “I gotta save my own pay for spells but would you trade for a few silks, an orc belt and 4 bone chips they’re probably easier to sell”. When I linked up with him he gave me the glossmer for free. I sent him a tell and told him he got the bitter end of the deal but he was cool with it.

Welcome back adventurer!

Community definitely worse than 1999.

But its cool that you are having a good time. It's a good everquest experience and the best one available in 2021 by a long shot in my book.

People have had time to mature since 1999, A majority of P99 players are 30-40+ years old many in their 50s now. And more power to them! Enjoying P99 in it's classic preservation is amazing.

@OP Welcome to the project 1999 community. Defiantly spend more time in game than on the forums. Be sure to check out the Wiki! Don't be afraid to ask questions, Best of luck on your journey!
