Default Current state of the Low-Mid game.

Hey folks, new to p1999 here.

Just a quick question I have before I make a character. How is the low-mid level population on p1999 these days? I'd like to play either a Rogue, Wizard or Enchanter and while the Enchanter and Wizard can solo to an extent, the Rogue would basically require a group for the whole trip to 60. The issue would be if im going to be the only one in these low level zones or if the only people in these zones are mages/necros soloing, the Rogue is pretty much out and for the most part the Enchanter as well, I'm not too fond of charm soloing as it's very dangerous and ive been away from the game for a looong time.

It seems stronger than ever to be honest... I mean I generally like to be the harbinger of doom all, but yeah I just walked into North Ro yesterday and there were 20 fricking people there around level 12.

Additionally, Wizards and Enchanters are two of the very strongest soloers at most levels that matter.

enchanters got hella nerfed for soloing with the pet exp nerf. it's still doable but even more dangerous than before now that you have to break charm every time.

for my part i am glad that i am done leveling except for my last few levels in skyfire because it's not going to be fun soloing as an enchanter anymore. on the plus side, once you hit 16 it will be easy to get groups because you get methodone which is the gateway drug to fullblown crack.

if i started a new character now with the intent to solo, i would much prefer the wizard over the enchanter, quad kiting is still unnerfed and you can earn a plat here and there with ports if you need to increase your mana pool with items. on the other hand, you will not be desireable for exp groups (until 56!) and your play style in groups will be very un-dynamic and stale (stand up, nuke, sit down. etc)

10-20 seems pretty beefy.

There seems to be a good mix of twinks and new characters (both of which are good). Lots of groups in oasis, NRO, EC, WC. I guess it's about where you play. I am sure GFAY and Crushbone get nice and busy as well.

As a newb (returning from Classic) player, GFay and Crushbone are definitely happening for groupage.

what they all say is true. Even gona find groups in blackburrow. But my experience has shown the freeport area to have more people around it, than the qeynos area.

From what I see playing both a WE 12 rogue in CB and a DE 8 necro around EC. My necro has never seen a group play times being 8am cst to around 2am cst. My rogue has now been in 2 groups over the 2 weeks I have had her.

You will see lots of twinks and lots of players soloing or being power leveled but as for grouping, that will be a bit rough. Hang in there and you will eventually get 1 though

That's mainly what I was afraid of. When the majority of the low level population is twinks and powerlevelees I doubt any of them will want some scrub rogue packing around newbie Daggers or an Enchanter with npc cloth. Of course I could just be pessimistic and all, but as a pessimist you're either always right or pleasantly surprised. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I hear it's pretty much unplayable unless you're max level already, OP. you should just start on the pvp server so everyone will be starting out at the same time for easy exp groups.....

(kidding! but really come play pvp instead! :P)

There's always people in the mid level zones esp oasis. Make an enchanter for fun/play at your own pace/get groups.
