Coming back to Everquest after 5years

[Samarkand]

Hey guys,

Not played Everquest in 5 years and wanting to come back but don't know what to play. I've never tried Project 1999 as i stumbled across it a few months ago and been waiting for a good opportunity to binge in its aww! Previously i've played a Mage, Wizard and Rogue at high levels.

Is there any guilds that are looking for new members or specific classes. Up for playing anything just don't want to play a class thats in excess and unwanted.

Any replies will be greatly appreciated!

Roll a Mage, for some reason there is a big shortage :D

[Samarkand]

How are they popularity scale? Sought after or just whores for their summons?

[Tippett]

I was trolling you, but seriously they're absurdly overplayed along with NEC + DRU

Any solo/farm classes are overplayed to DEATH

If you want something in demand roll a melee tank or dps

Such as ROG/MNK/WAR/SHD/PAL

There are some but their usually not nearly enough to go around

[Samarkand]

I sensed some trollage but thought I'd just go along with it.

I'm guessing the best bet is to play a SHD from what i remmeber (i had a lvl47) they are the best ones out of the lot for soloing, especially since im starting from scratch - No twinking what-so-ever.

We have a lot of SKs as well. At least, from what I've seen. For some reason, a lot of the people that play mages also play SK alts. Or visa versa.

As far as guilds go, it really just depends on what you really want to do. Check out the guild listing or guild forum.

(don't mind the slight trolling that has been going on in every guild's posts in the last couple days)

Oh, and welcome back =)

[Samarkand]

Well that was my situation back when i used to play Mage main with SK alt :D

I don't mind what i'm going to play, i just don't want to play majority on my own cause i'm a social cat *meow to you ;)*

So what ever to keep the rock rolling its all good :D

Cheers for the wb :D

I'd say go Monk, if you want something that not alot of people play with some solo ability. but if you dont mind going with the crowd then yeah play SK or a solo type (mag/nec/dru)

[Samarkand]

I've never played monk past lvl 8 because of the whole weight control business. Also never looked that far into it because trying to get gear for one back in the day was expensive!

[Zadrian]

I dunno man. Higher up is pretty saturated with monks.

I say play whatever you want. Don't even worry about what we have "too much of"

Once you find a guild that you really like and find out what they need, then you can choose something that is needed. For now just come onto 99 and enjoy yourself.

Everything is saturated at 50 (sans WIZ/ROG for some reason), server is 1 1/2 years old

If you want something in demand for groups on the trip to 50 go with the suggestions I made earlier :D

[Samarkand]

Thanks alot for the advice guys, See what happens.

I've just tried playing both a sought after role and overplayed roles and its alot more fun when you're sought after :)

he's right :D

and he's not a liar, because he's playing a Ranger :P

[Samarkand]

Just outta curiosity is boxing shunned or whats the story since its free servers?

It'd make leveling a warrior a whole bunch easier

[DevGrousis]

boxing is illegal. gets you banned. but you cant anyways, because there is an IP block that wont allow two accounts to be logged in from the same IP adress, unless you've gone through the proper channels to get your IP exempted (if you have someone else playing in your house at the same time you apply here on the boards for an IP Exemption)

[Samarkand]

Yeah I guessed as much, thought i'd ask

Thanks alot again for the advice :)

Happy hunting

In the 20-30 range there are almost no tanks at all.

[Samarkand]

Well i'll give that a shot when I get my stuff together see how it goes. Gonna be one helluva ride without the gear :D
