New player questions

[Evilmagus]

Hello

I played a rogue back on Fennin Ro in 99-2003 pretty intensely (I think my Mrylokars Dagger item submission is still up on Allakhazam) Decided to check out p99 finally but definitely as a casual. Never did PvP in live, so considering red but hear it's pretty empty. I have a couple questions:

What's the scene like for casual?
Any groups to be had at low - mid levels?
What classes are in demand on red?
Is sleeper still asleep on red? Hey maybe one day I get the key...

Thanks

What's the scene like for casual? for pvp doesnt exist. for exping its fine cause group bonus is insane. Also, be prepared to slay dragons at 3am with the same 30 people.
Any groups to be had at low - mid levels? You might find some it's either a completely terrible player or one of those 30 people running a secret alt...
What classes are in demand on red? make Rogue.. AOW 2018
Is sleeper still asleep on red? Hey maybe one day I get the key... He wide awake sorry you missed pre-empire days.

Don't worry about never doing pvp, cause there is like 10 pvp kills a day here. Have fun good luck.

For your first character on red you'll want something that can solo to get yourself established. XP bonus is great and if you decide to reroll it's not a huge deal like on blue or how it was on live.

There are groups each level range and joining <Sanctuary>(the leveling guild) will help a ton with meeting people and finding groups.

As for needed classes it's clerics, clerics, more clerics and rogues.

[Broncoandy]

Don't mind these guys. Things on red are great for casual, and I even though everyone says make a solo toon, there's really no need. We've got groups of toons at all levels in sanctuary, and we even do a few "mini" raids a month of lesser content so roll whatever you want to play and come join us. There's very little pvp before 50ish outside of the odd twink who shows up for some "lulz" for 5-10 minutes and than goes back to their main (you'll know who they are with guild tags like "Mistmoore defenders"). They range from mildly annoying to straight up entertaining. After 50 you just gotta learn where the pvp is (KC, seb, etc..) and you'll more or less have as much or as little of it as you want. Overall i really enjoy the casual play on red, and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to try project1999.

Make a farm class and ask box king Tune for a rogue or cleric to drive.

May your pixels be blessed this season.

I think I can give an objective view. Blue is good for talking with people because it's more populated. But it's hard to find any good camp spot. Red is for the most part a good place to relive EQ as there are cool people to group with and camps are mostly open.

Both servers have many problems with 'economy'.

I got a druid to 50 on blue and was very discouraged with ability to do anything 'end game'. I got a cleric to 50 a druid to 45 and an end to 35 on red and had much more fun even though EQ was never designed for PvP and asshats can bother you if you let them.

-Hates PvP

-Plays on a PvP server because the PvP is nonexistent and the PvE was made easier to compensate for the now nonexistent PvP

-Brags about being hardcore in signature because he plays on a PvP server

For the most part Red99 has turned into a cooperative play style and doesn't really resemble a MMO anymore. You run around and do your questing by yourself or with 1-2 others until level 55+ and then you join the remaining population to raid together.

If you can somehow figure out how to get some PvP in then it might be worth it. You will have to twink a new low level character to grief or level up anonymous and kill your own guild members if you want to PvP.

Good luck.

So is there a low-mid level economy on this server (e.g. selling bone chips, spider silks, etc) and is mid level gear ever for sale?

Or are all the newbs running around in patchwork + whatever they can camp until they hit raid level?

[Tassador]

How is bone chips even considered a low tier economy. That's like bottom of the barrel starting. You'd need an influx of starting players to be able to sell bottom of the barrel stuff my man. 83 +-2 isn't going to be the right equation.

The good thing about red is that the really rare items are 10x the price even though there is nobody to buy them.

[Loto]

Farm Highkeep guards from 25-40. Guaranteed 5pp per kill, bank and neutral vendor in zone. Easiest starter cash possible, can be done on any class.

[Gustoo]

To answer your question there is no economy at all.

Someone on red is sitting on a hundred fungi tunics and so on. Asking one million k pps.

Zero mid tier items for sale or even people to give them to.

It's not right

i'm from fennin ro too

[Tradesonred]

Luke dies, lea flies like superman, Snokes dies with no climax, like i said, shit movie. Its like a movie about a car getting stuck in the snow for 2 hours.

The part where you think Kylo might turn to the light side after killing snokes and fights off the royal guards with Rey in the throne room was ok i guess though
