Default Greetings Project 1999 Community

Hello everyone! First let me say, it's nice and refreshing to play a challenging game. I never had the pleasure of playing Everquest back in it's day of popularity; I was very well into 2 other MMORPG's at the time (Star Wars Galaxies and Asheron's Call). It's something I regret terribly. Thankfully, I stumbled upon Project 1999 and couldn't believe it. I can finally check this game out for the first time and hopefully enjoy it.

If there are any communities out there willing to take in a complete and total noob, I'd love to join your ranks. I really do not care at this point in time about joining a hardcore guild. I just want to play the game to learn, get better and have fun. Maybe after I grow up and acquire some veteran status, I will start to consider raids [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] However after doing a lot of research, I've come to learn that Everquest is a game that takes time and patience to reach your goals...which sounds absolutely perfect.

A little about myself, I'm 30 years old and I currently work 2 jobs *OUCH* haha. I very much enjoy gaming and I try to completely nerd out in front of my monitor as often as I can. I have a working headset as well if any of you guilds out there have TeamSpeak/Mumble/etc..etc..

Anyways, thanks for taking the time to let me introduce myself to you and hopefully we'll see each other out there in pixel land [You must be logged in to view images.

Iksar Necro is a great starter toon.
Necros are great soloists so you don't need a group if you can't find one.
Let me know your lizards name is and what time you will be playing tonight and my Necro Nekkrosis can fix you up with a set of Raw Silk armor and a stack or two of bone chips and maybe even a plat or two for spells.

I've always worried people who don't have the nostalgia factor going for them wouldn't enjoy p99. Hopefully you enjoy it. I feel like making an elf and starting in greater faydark is a good idea for a new player. I feel like that area allows you to interact with a lot of other low level characters right off the bat instead of grinding out levels 4-7 in near isolation. Go from killing stuff near the newb lift to orc hill and then crushbone.

Field of Bone is a great starting area and has plenty of people in it and nearby Kurn's Tower.

Indeed, even in euro primetime you see between 10 and 20 people in the zone. Also has a nice variety of different level mobs!
Be sure to keep every drop you get and sell it to the merchants. You need that money [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] bone chips are great for a turn on quest at trooper mozos(?) at the gates to cabilis. Nice xp and a few silver pieces per 4 bpne chips (single, not stacks) and the warlord on one of the balconies of the building in front of the gates has a turn in quest for scorpion pincers.
