Brand new to p99, grouping question

[dmgoforth]

Hey all. I just got everything installed and running last night. I had spent the last few days on holiday watching youtube videos and reminiscing about EQ's peak years (Kunark and Velious) when I stumbled on Project 1999. Truly unbelievable. I logged in last night and got hit with a flood of nostalgia. It was unreal.

Anyway, I know leveling up is a grind solo. But the player base seems mostly higher level with only a few mostly afk stragglers in the newbie zones. It's been soooo long since I've played this game, I truly don't remember a lot of the places where people group up, and it was always kind of emergent anyway, so I suppose this server might have its own hot spots. Is there any place that I'm likely to meet fellow lowbies to group up or am I mostly on my own?

I seriously can't believe this game exists in this state. It's hard to describe the feeling that kicked in when I heard the login music for the first time.

There are a few places like Crushbone, Unrest, Kurns Tower, etc. You can /who all lfg and see if there's anyone in your level range and where they're at. But realistically you're going to have to solo a decent amount unless you join a guild. Welcome back.

Switch over to Green server which has a more robust low-end game.

It's called dopamine. It's how addiction works. Good luck!

You can just also /who all 9 or /who all 10. Whatever your level is or a bunch of levels around your level to see where people are grouped. Send some tells out and see if anyone wants to party

This is fake information. Can a guide please edit so someone new isn't given fake news?

Stay on blue and private message me your chars name, class/race and I can get you some items which won’t be super great but good for new player. Can give you some pp too.

Green players seem sure there's no merge, but the level up zone population stats say otherwise.
