Stupid newbie questions

[Nudalus]

Just started playing on P1999, and what server do I pick? Red99 to play on super hard mode. Got a few questions which I poke around about, didn't get a firm answer, so please excuse the n00b.

1) "Easiest" class to make friends? - Picked druid seemed like the right decision. Become taxi -> Get Plat -> get bitches, and make friends. Seem like they are decently strong, can dot someone and run around for as long as they can and basically wear someone out (from what I read)

2) Reading the server "rules" for R'99 (the one that tells you the mechanics how things work), on pvp death, you lose the coin you were carrying if I am correct. Also there's an XP modifier? Anyone care to confirm/deny if there's a XP modifier, starts at 100% at L1 scales down to 0% at L50. No idea if this is still in place so thought I would ask.

3) OOC is global? Seems like it just thought I would check.

4) Is there any central "trade" hub like ECommonlands tunnel (guessing no, but again checking), as there's no real safe zone to trade in.

Server seems fun, X guild hax/exploitz, Y guild is full of douchebags/trolls, one of the best communities I have seen in a long time, which isn't full of 13 year old kids trying to flex their e-peen over their pixels.

Sam wise I really did expect better from you, we got a new player here who is interested in starting, why further drive away people? Really no one should be responding as a smart ass like you.

Druid yes, another popular choice is bard.

When you die its coin loot only, loot fast because the window is only open for so long.

Exp mod is I believe 200%, something ridiculously high, at level 55 I was getting a blue per quad, which is very good.

/ooc is global but must be level 10+ [prevents people from making level 1's and spamming]

No central trade hub but a big meeting up spot is Rivervale. Since ooc is server wide there is no reason for 20ish + people to sit in 1 zone and auction, but its not uncommon to see people say meet me in Rivervale.

I wasn't being a smart ass though. Get carried and geared without all the hassle. He asked about easy class to get friends. I was just giving him an alternative to the obvious Druid answer.

I would go to blue but then I would miss out on colourful commentary in /ooc :( (and yes I am Canadian and it is spelled coloUr tyvm)

Thanks for the responses, was thinking bard but only two starting zones are super populated unfortunately.

Going to stick with the druid, due to freedom of movement for now see where it takes me.

Wanted to know about the gold loot, so I knew if I had to bank all my coin or not (don't want to lose everything just what I was carrying at the time so tyvm)

Definitely missed a game like this, a small niche game like Darkfall, the nostalgia of Everquest, and the smacktalk of a pvp game ;)

Keep being awesome everybody!

buy gems instead of carrying money, trades in nfp or other banks at own risk, I'd avoid rivervale until ya learn about the tricks.

That's smart idea carrying gems.

As for avoiding rivervale, I'm a halfling kinda hard to avoid my home city (but I am level 5 so nobody actually around atm plus hide is awesome)

What tricks might those be? I spend most of my time in RV, but I dont think I know any tricks.

I think he means how u can pvp people at the bank and avoid guard agro?

If you want to roll a druid and are still lower lvl let me know in game or PM me. I've got a few lowbie unfinished projects I'll duo with ya. I'm sure i have something around your level. My brother basically quit playing the pally I built for him at lvl 15.. He's got jboots/fishbone/lev cloak and pretty decent gear. Would make a fine duo. to help you get up in levels at least.

I'll hit you up when I get home in ~an hour.

I am level 5 (WOO!) Made it to Kelethin so I can hit up crushbone as it is someplace I am familiar with.

Wish I had that kinda twink hahaha, I have...tattered leather 3 pieces. New to red but having fun :) and surprisingly, if you aren't in the "big 3" guilds, there's not a lot of trash talk.

TIL: being a halfling is broken, I got attacked by someone, hit hide and sat down, med to full from 20%.

I'll try an get a port over to Gfay and help ya farm some CB belts, i may have some +wis gear laying around somewhere as well.

I'll be on Jymbo or Qarl

[Hateraid]

camping belts to turn in to upgrade armor is the highlight of EQ , its all downhill after CB , enjoy the ride, quit at 15 youll thank me later

server is a joke and you wasting your time after that ( also knights Templar will probably grief you in cb )

Not worth the time and the server is a joke, yet you spend valuable time tracking and posting to the forums still?

Hide your misery a little better.
