You're supposed to take the fancy L60 raid gear and expensive spells you spent all your time acquiring in NTOV and use them to help you defeat the next expansion but on P99 there is no next expansion.

Best Shaman race...

- Pre-60: the fun one
- Post-60: none

Me personally, I'm going for max strength and FSI to avoid being encumbered and stunned for 60 levels before I reroll. I'm not after a darwin award so I won't be raiding at 60 nor spending 100K on a L60 spell just so I can kill a baby dragon. No epics either. Working on epics on P99 is retarded.

Right now though I'm busy playing a blind Human Ranger. I'm about to ding sow, bish.

On second thoughts re: shaman race. Extra HP regen means extra mana which can be useful in sticky situations. Snare is also useful because runners are as annyng as stun and being encumbered..

TL;DR You f*ck yourself whichever race you pick.

Maybe some games this is true.

But I dunno about classic EQ.

I would say 50-60+ is when it gets more interesting.

But I'd say EQ is a great example of "its about the journey, not the destination".

I love how everyone loves to declare this ... while completely ignoring or forgetting that back in the classic era we had Caster's Realm, Allakhazam, EQ Atlas, EQ Traders, forums for every single class (I think a couple classes even had multiple), sites or forums for major guilds ... and all sorts of other websites that have since been lost to time.

The wiki puts everything in one place, is more detailed than those sites, and has a few features (eg. the location Xs on maps) they didn't ... but to say it's "not Classic" is to admit you really don't know what classic was like. Today we might look at a map on a second monitor instead of printing it out and putting into a binder (like we did back in the day) ... but it's the same exact map the EQ Atlas guy drew 20+ years ago.

The wiki is like a stock market report. Not classic. There was no web site in classic that people alt tabbed to to check and dictate item prices.

Our spell lists were great back then, castersrealm was very easy to read!

This newish trend of all the garbage spilling over into the Starting Zone really sucks. Your list order is even worse. JFC.

The "Wikimedia Foundation" is not classic and neither are pride bunnies.
