Greetings P99 community,
I started my first toon in November 1999 and played a HIE Paladin. I loved the class and have played one off and on for years and years. I started one on most of the TLP servers over the last few years. I am going to be dipping my toe into Green when it comes out this month.
I think I understand how different P99 Green is going to be compared to the TLPs. I installed and then logged onto blue a few days ago to check things out and I was reminded just how harsh the game was back then. I started a halfling druid and monkeyed around in Misty Thicket for a few hours. No maps, no compass, one hotbar, total fog and of course corpse runs if you wanted to not lose that firebeetle eye you had in inventory. I imagine there will be even less QoL features on Green than are on the TLP's (like tab targeting & spell book staring).
I'd really like to eventually play a Paladin again, but I realize how incredibly difficult it is going to be starting fresh out of the gate. (No spells until lvl 9, untwinked, no Krono purchasing convenience to make up for less playtime (since I work 40+ hrs a week). Huge XP climb (compared to TLP) as well as the Paladin XP penalty. Complete lack of tanking gear for probably months. I'm sure the list goes on and on.
My thought is to try and play a class that will help me eventually get a new Paladin started out in a few months. So, I would suspect this new toon will not get past maybe level 35 or so before I decide to switch to the Paladin. What is possibly the better class to play from 1-35ish that will help get a new Paladin started? Can you even safely pass items or plat to an alt on the same account without a shared bank?
Also, I would really appreciate any pointers or tips or just general info and playstyle suggestions coming over from TLP and what I might find the most difficult to adjust to. Thank you for reading the post and special thanks to anyone kind enough to share any constructive pointers to this new P99 player.
