Returning player since 2004

[Djinn_00]

Hi everyone :),

I finally caved in to all the nostalgia and decided to get a character going on P999. Coming from a guild that was #1 (on the prexus server back at that time) it is very refreshing to be a complete and total noob. I do not care about graphics or any outdated UI nonsense, the community here is amazing!

It is a little lonely right now and was wondering if anyone else that is starting would like to add me as a friend so that we can go slay things together and level up as a group. I am currently a shaman but am willing to reroll for the best fit for a group. Please PM if interested and we can network together and make this a lot more fun! :)

Welcome!

Yes Prexus

Started on there around 2004 hehe. Welcome!

Welcome, which race did you pick? It'll be lonely in Halas :p

Qeynos side of the world is pretty dead due to poor porting - make your way to the Karanas and do "/who all dial" and ask someone in <Dial-a-Port> to give you a ride to East Commons - go bind in FP and you'll be near all the hot spots (Orcs, Ro, Oasis, High Keep, Guk, Befallen).

Seeing the East Commons spam will hit you square in the nostalgia bone as well - we have a thriving trade economy

[Djinn_00]

Yea the barbarian shaman did not work out too well. Wanted to try something different but was quickly turned off when I saw it was pretty empty in ever frost and got frustrated getting taken out by the yellow conned wooly spiders/polar bears.

I went back to my roots and rolled lizzy necro, it is going WAY better to say the least. I am now level 5 but I have realized that I will not have access to EC tunnel when that time comes, any evil factions out there that can shed some light on how they manage around the KoS?

If it's too much of a pain I guess I can roll a gnome lock /shrug

I'm learning to play all over again... Got my copy when Kunark just came out. 2000.... :) Hope to make some new friends in this important game in my generation :)

or /who all "dial a port" then use a /tell [name] I'm new to this server and looking for a port to ___ from ___. Best to be near one of the druid rings when you do it. When you reach your destination find a player to bind you, if not the porting player.

Yeah, easy to find groups from East Commons. And if good aligned, Greater Faydark is another destination. If going to Gfay, and at nekid low level, I'd try to find a wizard port, will go directly to gfay rather than druid rings in butcher which can get you killed running to gfay w/o an escort at very low levels (drui will likely escort if asked). But wizard port at the spires in gfay can bind you on the spot before you get steamrolled by someones train ^^

Gfay start is usually Orc hill > Crushbone > Unrest > Mistmoore
Orc hill is spotty, a lot of vet players skip the first 5 levels using CB belt turn-ins. But you could start a hill group out of /ooc during peak time easily enough.
CB usually has 15-25 players during peak, and still some groups a bit during off hours.
Unrest is packed during peak time usually, and can be a wait for a group spot for yard trash.
MM always has a group, all hours, non-stop.

Welcome to the server!

Hello Djinnoo!

I do not reckon we will meet anytime soon, but I thought I might share what has worked for my very worst bouts of loneliness. They are most frequently associated with feelings of abandonment, when the spirit of wolf leaves me :c

As a shaman you would have had an immediate solution from your 9th rank, but as a necromancer you have little choice but to befriend shaman, Druids or rangers, which may be difficult as a nasty lizard. Best of luck to you though and may Quellious peace be upon you!

[Trungep99]

Welcome!! ,
Which guild were you in on Prexus? and what was your character?

I eventually joined Stasis during their 3rd installment after all the Luclin and PoP drama.

my Prexus character was Luthar.

[Djinn_00]

Hi Trunge,

My character's name was skullcollector a inkie necro, I was in keepers of the faith and joined them just before PoP, and was hardcore raiding when Plane of Time came out. Stasis was a damn solid guild too! Stasis was good comp in PoP days :) Good to see other fellow prexians! I actually ran into some ex guildies already, it's been awesome.

[Trungep99]

Yeah I was a super casual during the good ol days, I never felt good enough to app for KTF hehe. If you need and advice or help look me up when I'm on. I play a 60 troll sk ^_^.

The top guilds on this server right now are Aftermath and Awakened. and more raiders are always welcomed. Raiding here is a bit different compared to classic, they use pulling techniques I don't think people did on classic to get a dragon to a zone in without clearing trash.

[Djinn_00]

Awesome Trunge! I will give you a shout in game, so far, the struggle is real! LOL

Welcome to the fun. I'm in the same boat as you and I'm enjoying my return to Norrath. I actually have a couple friends playing with me as well and I was thinking of re-forming my old EQ raiding guild as a small leveling guild so that we have a nice pool of players for groups and dungeons and to help each other out with transfers, ports, buffs etc...

I have created a Halfling druid and a couple DE characters but our main characters are Iksar so if you want to look me up for grouping or to maybe join our leveling guild please do. Currently I'm a lvl 9 Iksar Monk and my friends are lvl 8 Necro and lvl 9 Shaman. Would love to add you to our groups for some fun. Kurn's tower is right around the corner in levels.

Character names if you want to contact me in-game:
Thees - 9 Iksar Monk
Ballhaus - 5 Halfling Druid
Siddartha - 5 DE Enchanter
Sinven - 1 DE Cleric

Your point about being out of the loop as an Iksar is sort of true with respect to EC but on the other hand I have found that the area around FoB has been quite active with people so it's not so bad.

[tofuprod]

I do not have any friends playing with me. How do I make new ones in Norrath? I'm Dububu - Wood Elf Druid.

id suggest for you to find random people to group up with, and if it is a good group then invite them again in the future

Hey, thanks for grouping up with us. That was fun. Sorry I missed when you left the group I was focusing on pulling mobs I guess!

[Djinn_00]

Thank you for the invite, it was fun. Going to try to catch up I levels over the weekend, if you made the guild I'll definitely join.
