New player with server questions...

[Bunny Mage]

Hello!


I discovered Project 1999 from hearing it talked about in EQ2 and I am very interested in playing on the server! It's been years since I played the original EQ and I would love to recapture that old feeling of the game. However, I have a few questions about the server from a newbie perspective. If anyone could help shed some light that would be great..


*Are the drop rates/xp rates the same as in original EQ? I know a lot of private servers in games like to sometimes inflate these values.

*How is grouping on the server? I like to play in groups much more than solo, usually as either healer or tank, and want to make sure that kind of playstyle will be possible for me even though I don't personally know anyone on the server.

*Has anything been tinkered with in the game? Such as changed class balance, mob behavior, special items, added conveniences, etc?

*I remember in original EQ there was a problem with buffing/power leveling exploits. Is that still abundant in this server?

*Can the Luclin models be viewed in the game?

*How is PvP on the server? Are there any special PvP rules, or is it just a typical EQ PvE server with the Priest of Discord feature? Do many people PvP?

*Is there any kind of "global chat" for players on the server to communicate? I remember EQ1 feeling kind of lonely sometimes if you werent in a big guild or in an area without many people. I'd love to be able to actually talk with others, if possible.

*What kind of level spread is in the game? Are most players level 50, lower level, or somewhere in between?

*Is it possible to change your name or face option after character creation? Just curious.

*Is there any kind of voice chat? Such as a ventrilo server?


Okay, I suppose that's enough questions for now. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
