Old fart gamer here, new to p99

[Pitter]

After playing every incarnation of EQ and dozens of MMOs trying to recreate the old-school EQ experience, it was awesome to read about p99.

I played at launch with my late best friend for many years, and it feels good to bring back those memories.

You know, back in the day I was nearly KOS with the ex-wife over my EQ time. I have since re-married a card carrying nerd (who has played EQ with me starting on EQOA). She wanted a chance to experience what it was all about, so we tried live EQ. It still holds some nostalgia, but its a totally different animal than EQ circa 2000. So she has agreed to give this a try.

My petition is up for an IP exemption. So hopefully we will BOTH see you in game soon!

Cheers!

NAMES, folks, give us the character names so we CAN look for you in game :)

Sorry, my first toon's name is Raury.

Me and the Mrs. will be making a pair of gnomes tonight. I'll update with names!

[Goofier]

Cool, thanks :)
Old fart here, too ;)

[Supaskillz]

Welcome. The nostalgia here is strong :)

Promised update: We rolled our gnomes today.

I'm Gnoodles (ENC) and she's playing Gnancy (MAG). When she's not around, I'll still be on Raury (DRU).

See you in game!

My husband got me into EQ too. I started playing in 2000 with him, then took a decade off while the kiddies were younger and restarted with P99 recently.
Have your wife look me up ingame (names in siggie) and we can chat.

Your gnome names are cute. :) Welcome to the server.

How old do you have to be to be considered an old fart? I'm 32 kind of feel like an old fart sometimes.

[Pitter]

I'm 43 and the Mrs. is ...well, late 30s. /CYA

Thanks khailibowen, I'll pass that along. Feel free to look us up as well.

Thank you everyone for your welcome. People's friendliness has been overwhelming as well as being a key facet of EQ that I missed so dearly.

Cheers!

[khailibowen]

Sounds great.

I'll be on Taelyana (level 11) tonight and I'm in Steamfont.

(and I'm 41, I'll own it :)

Sorry I missed you guys last night. I had papers to grade and it took longer than I thought (I teach at a local college).

[Pitter]

No problem, we'll be around during the day today also.

Welcome to the game guys! It's always so cute to see couples playing together! Send me a tell in game anytime you guys need a free port! Character name Laledorie =)

[Pitter]

Thanks a ton, Laledorie! We may just take you up on that for a ride to commons sometime.

Welcome, played at release as well, almost lost my wife over the game as well lol. only 37 though so you have a few years on me. Welcome back to the game, I think you will really enjoy it. It is the closest I have found to classic EQ experience so far.

Welcome to P99 =)

Anti Boxing on P99 allows the real aspect of communication that most games lack these days.A Great feeling of Nostalgia for sure.
