Default Hello everyone!

Hi!

I played the original EQ in 1999/2000-2003 timeframe, but unfortunately I was in the Navy then so I didn't get nearly enough time to explore and learn the game. I did play a bit of EQ later, with all these new expansions and stuff going on, but couldn't really get into it, mostly due to community issues. I heard Project 1999 had a great community so I'm hoping to dig in to content I never really got to play.

As for my aspirations, I'm normally a necromancer lover, but I wouldn't mind a caster/caster-melee type (I played DK in the new EQ a few months ago) and since I'm not sure if I'll find a group to play with, I could use some tips on what to play. I like pets for sure!

I hope to see y'all out there!

More on the caster side (much more at higher levels) of what you want = shaman

More on the melee (tank) side of what you want = sk

Shaman probably easier to play as first char. More utility with spells, and sow is great for getting around

Thank you very much! I appreciate it! I did feel like playing an ogre so that will definitely work either way [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hey, welcome back. Necromancer is a really solid choice, one of the least gear-dependent classes in the game and a strong soloer.

Everyone who says Necro is probably right. Everyone who says "Play something you like" is also right. But I think if by chance you spend a lot of times in the forums Enchanter is the way to go. Good luck have fun!

Thank you both for responding!

Right now I am playing a shaman, just hit level 3 1/3. I am enjoying him very much, but I do want to try Necro as well and see what I like more. I'm not sure if I was very lucky or not but on my shaman I have almost a full set of cloth armor (just from drops!) and a small chest I found. Also poking things with a rusty spear is fun. Now I just need to find a shield xD

Shaman is definitely a class I keep wanting to roll up. What race did you pick?

Shamans are so much fun. Are you on Blue or Green?
