It's amazing

How much fun this server is when you are playing just to level and not involved in the end game/raid scene.

I couldn't agree more. Thats why I've always played EQ.

I can agree with TS, I don't even know all that much about everquest, but tried the sony eq and don't like it nearly as much as the classic version, know nothing of raiding in this game at all, only other MMO's, and I enjoy the game itself, alone or grouped. One of the few rpg's that I regain my patience with and come back to it. Got a warrior and a rogue into the 20's thus far.

The reason you like vanilla EQ is the same reason games like Skyrim are great. There's travel time and other "annoyances" (god I hate people who don't appreciate immersive worlds) that make you feel like you're in a world and not a lobby to queue for battlegrounds and dungeons. I just hope there's no flying mounts. They were cool at first but they destroy world mechanics.

When I started here I will admit I did want the "uber" items I never was able to attain on live. I played long enough that I eventually gained enough platinum to twink the melee I wanted, and it was boring. I had 1,000x more fun in my starter guild tunic at trainer hill in Crushbone or in bronze armor in Unrest.. Soloing with a Fungi and CoF just feels like "work" and a complete waste of time.

The most fun on P99 is grouping, making friends, going to a zone you never have been to, and getting better at your class (learning to pull a tricky dungeon, etc). Having a min/max attitude, power-leveling your toon, AE kiting, and mega-twinking takes the complete piss out of anything that made EQ enjoyable.

I agree. That's why I'm using p99 as a way to revisit the game and try some things I missed on classic. I played EQ for years but I played melee exclusively apart from a shaman I two-boxed along with my SK (pretty much a heal/slow/dot bot on autofollow so I didn't enjoy it) and a cleric that someone gave me at level 62. (This helped ruin the game for me...playing a character that wasn't really mine killed the RPG aspect of it for me and soured me opinion of the growing RMT and account trading trend.)

So on P99 I'm playing an iksar shaman so that I can level a character in kunark for the first time and actually enjoy looting upgrades in Kurns =p

This is a Very Wise man. :D

[Halius]

This is a Very Wise man. :D

Very very true. There have been a couple games on console where I played for hours and hours and then decided that I just really wanted to try the best items in; so I used cheat codes and made my characters uber powerful, about half an hour later the game was boring and I didn't play it again. The best part about any game is the climb to the top, especially so in EQ where community is such a huge part of the game. I mean just compare it to WoW where although the community itself is much more vast than P99, how many people do you actually truly interact with and talk with on a regular basis for groups and such, probably very few, because the majority of the time you are grouping with people on other servers that you will never see again.

I never understood the PL and twinking mentality -

PL - Please kill all the mobs while I stand here and do nothing. Please PL me from 1 to XX so I can have a toon with all skills being zero and totally worthless, leaving me to fizzle all my spells or miss every swing if I melee. Please take all the fun out of the content for those levels. Oh, and I get to pay for that 'priviledge'! LOL

Twinking - Please let me put uber gear on my beginning toon so nothing is a challenge therefore nothing is fun. Please let me trivialize all the content for my current levels. And then complain about 'the grind'! LOL

tl:dr - Once back in live I saw a PL'd twink melee solo-ing and every fight took forever since he missed 99% of the time. LOL

But to each his own ...
