Considering playing...

[zoxobear]

So.. I'm considering playing P1999 I quit EQ when Luclin came out, I wasn't a fan of the whole Scifi feel when I beta tested it and opted to leave after playing "fanatically" from classic beta through Velious.

Here is the most important question I need answered beforehand however.


Do you guys have /gems

I'm not sure I could survive meditation book without it again...

/sarcasm.

I have a copy of titanium I bought online should be in today and I'm so excited to start playing again.

By any chance are there any guilds recruiting? I essentially remember everything from Classic (like everything) Kunark is slightly fuzzy, and velious is very fuzzy.

I'll be making a Bard since that was my main in classic.

@ any rate this was really more than anything a "hi everyone" thread, so Hi everyone :) Looking forward to seeing you in game!

Welcome to p99!
Yes to gems... no to spellbook meditation.
What server on live? Check the wiki if you want to look up some old friends, and the guild thread for p99 guild section here on the forums for guild info.
Hope to see you in game:)

Welcome to the server!

[Eldaran]

Welcome! This server will definitely bring back the magic you remember from Classic. See you in game!

[Morlaeth]

Welcome, shoot me a tell in game

[zoxobear]

Wow thank you for the awesome welcome gang. I'm installed, character created, loaded into Kelethin and that music started playing and the hair on the back of my neck stood up and I literally got dizzy with all the nostalgia that rushed in all at once.

Seriously intense.

Anyway... Level 1, Half-Elf Bard, Started in Kelethin so I could belt/pad farm to get some starter cash.

Name is "Diplomacy" feel free to say Hi!

Save those skele chips too. People are buying them for cab rep.

OH thank you, yes I'll try to do that!
Is there a cheap way to get bags, like I remembered buying sewing kits or something as cheap bags?

[Rotted_Corpse]

Welcome to the server!

And yes save your bone chips. They sell for 10p a stack (in EC and other zones). Don't sell them for less. Discounting doesn't make them sell faster just for less. Often one person will buy all you have. Just takes patience at times. And when you first make it to EC you'll see that 10p is nothing considering items going for MASSIVE plat.

Large Sewing kits are the best cheaper bags imo. low weight, 8 slots and giant size items. Cost a lil over 1p each.

Newb pro-tip! Everyone always picks up backpacks, but large sewing kits can hold GIANT items and otherwise have the same stats as backpacks. IIRC they're also cheaper to purchase. If nothing else, they make great bank storage as you get WR containers while adventuring.

Totally, I did buy a couple of 8 slot backpacks for 5g each just to have a little space till have the platinum to buy the kits.

So far so good though. I have 2pp and my level 4 & 5 songs already purchased and I bough a leather gorget and mask for like 7g each.

So.. yeh.. no complaints so far ^^

The kits also weigh 0.8 instead of 3.0 which makes quite a big difference, I carry them on my untwinked cleric for that reason alone.

[zoxobear]

Welp time for me to get a little sleep, but not bad for my first night back I think.
6 hours level 4 and some change? lol ok maybe thats terrible, but w/e I'm having a BLAST! heh Thanks again everyone I have to admit the really pleasant welcome into the game has really made this so much more enjoyable already. I really miss the community we had in EQ classic, and I've really never seen anything like it since. I'm so happy you've all been able to reestablish that here on this server and I'm So looking forward to becoming a part of it!

You can run the mail quests between Kelethin and Felwithe, this will get you to level 6 relatively fast and net you ~15gold per run. Go to Felwithe and find the bard there, I forget his name, but after you cross the bridge and go through the little opening on your right you'll see him standing there next to a building. Hail him and say 'Deliver to kelethin' then run back to Kelethin and turn it in to the person in the Bard guild. The Felwithe guy will tell you his name, I don't remember it off the top of my head.

Once you get selos at 5 this becomes super fast, or if you beg a SoW it'll go nice and quick too.

Going from memory his name is Tacar Tissleplay or something. I heart the mail quest. It's a bit tedious but will get you in shape to go kill orcs on orc hill.

What! You didn't like the expansion with Cats in SPACE! what is wrong with you...

[Enderenter]

Let me know when you are near EC if you would like some Bronze armor. My bard is camped there and I don't play him anymore.

Sure BP's are cheaper. but sewing kits weigh much less. .4 weight is really nice.

You trollin? I don't see any flame in falkun's post lol

[zoxobear]

I have to give a shoutout to Morlaeth and Mythoxxus who have made my entrance into 1999 so much fun. Thank you so much for all of your help in getting me started it has made the transition SO much easier.

I'm having an absolute BLAST, huge kudo's to the admins for making such a WONDERFUL server which just so happens to be full of WONDERFUL people!

I'm so happy to be here :)

Also huge thanks to all the tips provided here I've used them all and it has helped :) I sold x4 stacks of bone chips for a little starter money at the beginning and was able to buy all my spells and some starter armor, Level 3-4 would have taken years without it :)

There is that 10-slot backpack in Akanon you can get by telling that gnome that you are his friend. It's small but *Shrug* I used to go get one right off.

You say, 'I am your friend.'

Sanfyrd Featherhead says 'Oh. You are just saying that so you can get my fairie wing. I will make you a deal. I cannot rely on this wing forever. I will trade it with you if you could get me a case of hair tonic. If you are a true friend you [will fetch the hair tonic] for me.'
