I am willing to help you get started on project 1999 red and possibly come buff you with my level 60 druid.
POTG is really a good buff to help you get leveled, it lasts 100 minutes and is a huge HP/AC/mana regeneration buff.

I generally get home from work at 11PM and I start playing everquest til about 3AM PST, and I am off work on Wednesday
and Thursday. So, I don't mind power leveling you and helping you get started. If you live on EST and those hours are too late for you we can try power leveling on Wednesday or Thursday.
however, I also want you to prove that your committed to playing on project 1999 red.

I have characters on the side I'm trying to level, including:
level 1 Human Wizard Viivi
level 20 Human Enchanter Darts
Level 30 Human Paladin Zart

Level 35 Erudite Cleric Nedhels
Currently staticing this cleric with my best friends monk

level 50 Half Elf Rogue Trilok
I get groups on this rogue when i can

level 53 Half elf Bard Eeven
been leveling this off and on lately as well

I definitely think you should play to what you want to play just thought I would give you some suggestions as far as what are desired classes on project 1999 red.
As far as raiding is concerned Cleric, Rogue and Wizards seem to be the most desired classes.
Me and my best friend definitely need a 3rd character would be great if you committed to getting to level 60 and beyond.
We main a Druid and Necromancer prospectively so I would imagine a Monk, Shaman or Warrior would help our grouping situation a lot.
I would like to farm things in Kael but I have a number of things holding me back and having a balanced group would help a lot.

I gave away two Velium Great Staffs yesterday I am going to keep farming and trying to help new players to project 1999 red server.
Send me messages across the project 1999 forum platform for more information,
and possibly add me on discord.

Again this is what i mean by treating the community poorly. By leaving the state of things in limbo, you dont know if you should just deal with it and try to reinvigorate what we have or wait for the new server.

Imagine starting here, getting some levels and in 3 months SURPRISE! New server and all that time down the toilet with chars on a single digit pop server. If theyd just tell us well never have red 2.0, i would possibly play here.
But investing all that time on an almost dead server where the journey is fucking boring and might be totally dead before i get to end game? Hmm no.

I feel bad for people who still play on the server TBH. Like a wife that stays with a wifebeater (Too much?)

To put it in perspective, dart is offering to power level so it’s not much time wasted. Your time is only truly wasted if you’re not having fun. I was one of the people he helped yesterday and he took me from 3-19 in a few hours (2). That’s pretty fast considering I’ve been a casual on green & blue. If he weren’t to help anymore after that, to me that is more than enough for me to start doing the same shit I would be doing on green or blue.

My message isn’t for the bitter souls or veterans out there (you all have your own forms of PTSD made blatant on the forums), more so reaching out to those who may have been curious. A lot of you are like me, casual & lurkers. Maybe you can’t stick with a toon and reroll a lot. Red is worth consideration. I feel more likely my toon will make it the distance because it’s not as congested, and that I’ll be able to not only raid in the future (due to how fast the leveling is) but have an added experience of pvp and get loot because the server has been around for so long. There are pros if you don’t mind not being on the cutting edge and server 1sts etc.

Personally I’ll be adding +1 to the box

If I get pvp’d and griefed later on because I’m a noob, so what? Can either learn to improve or always just log back on blue or green. If I’ve learned anything about the server from lurking, doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. Take that as you will. I’m having fun.

3 months playing a game you enjoy is not time down the toilet - it is 3 months enjoyed!

This is a fan server(s) and must be played with the understanding it could all be lost any moment. Now is always the best time to play!

I mean by that logic, why play at all then? Essentially all your time will be "down the toilet" no matter what server you play on. Those years you spent on live? DOWN THE TOILET! You ever look at your live characters anymore? Didn't think so.

Stop waiting for the staff to recreate something and just play Red for I don't know... fun? The same fun you will be having on Blue/Green but with a hint of PVP.

Do people actually raid still? I have a 60 epic monk and warrior. Always wanted to finish the epic on my bard but I figured it was impossible to get a white scale and kill Trak now.

Also have a 60 bard, epic rogue, epic but not 60 cleric, and a few SKs 55+ because I couldn't decide which race I wanted to play. Plus a few other assorted 50+ classes, wiz, ranger.

You guys dont take the time to read me properly. If people enjoy average less than 1 person per zone, soloing all the way to 55, more power to em. I find it boring and its safe to assume most people will find it boring.

Thats precisely my point, that this dead server isnt nowhere near a live experience. I get that we will not hit those numbers ever, but a reset will bring back at least 300+ to begin with and it could grow instead of dwindle if the devs play their cards right.

My other point was that by leaving the server in limbo with no update on 2.0, it shows a disregard for people who still play here. Because if they just input us something, we will know whats up. Either we know we wont get a new server, so we could work on doing the best we can with what we got, so people who still play can enjoy a better server which will have an influx of people just by knowing that we will never get a new one.

Or if theres one coming, people might take a break and not work on toons they will have to abandon in 3 months or whenever that other server's coming. Either way its a shitty thing to do not to update whats up, if only for the people who still play on red.

Its still not an even-remotely-close-to live server experience. Red launch even though it had 600 players wasnt even a live server experience because of xp loss in pvp. Sullon if im not mistaken had xp loss (within 5 levels, just checked) but to me was such a terrible experience (getting one shot by a 45 wiz in blackburrow) that i immediately rolled on Rallos.

I mean again if u wanna solo-ish climb to the end and see practically no one in zones, with no pvp besides getting ganked once in a while by a twink, not knowing if out of the blue red 2.0 is gonna pop and youll end up with toons on a deader-than-dead server, more power to you. But Red to me deserves its shot at a healthy pop and no xp loss from day1 to have at least a couple of months of glorious Rallos-like experience with 300+ players.

Oh I'd prefer a new server. Just stating that red is fun.

I imagine blue is like a crowded day in Disney, while red is like renting the park out and having no lines.

Red pop would grow if people who play solely to pvpv would respect the fact that some people are there predominantly to pve. Too many guys kill a player with no intentions of taking the camp only to linger and camp the corpse, hellbent on wasting hours and preventing play entirely for the other person. No honor or respect in that.

Healthy Pvp is fun sport or a way to strategically control territory. It doesn't have to feel like a hate crime.

If all you ex NTOV gunfighters came back under a "shane" type role and protected the farmers from the land barons, relentlessly hunting the tyrants of the world two things would happen: you'd get challenging equally geared pvp and new players would get exposure while also being able to pve enough to maybe close the gear gap a bit and at least have a mathematical road to victory in a fight.

Pvp is fun but "your" fun doesn't preclude you from being a respectful and decent citizen. We are all playing on the same playground. If you want people to play your game should try to ensure mutual fun or at least not outright misery. The deer hunter kills the buck but leaves the doe to foster future bucks. Some of these guys overfish the waters with all the self control of a fat kid at his mammaws house, the one with the sams club card and all the candy barrels.

I have a badly geared 60 sham and a 40 monk with 3 good items, thats basically it. The only thing preventing me and probably a bunch of others from +1'ing the server is we dont know if out of the blue, 2.0 is going to be announced.

I dont care about sucking in pvp. I suck in pvp. Low level, trash pvp suited me just fine when i played on live. Its fun. Someone mentioned Jooke recently, the twinked rogue on Rallos and it was one of the few players i knew i had to run away from when i saw him because there was just no way i could beat him. When the server is healthy and has a bunch of people, those few like jooke dont matter much. When the only thing you are coming across in zones are jookes, thats when it sucks and why i was dismayed at seeing the staff letting it happen when red launched initally.

Seriously, i dont wanna deter people from playing here but this wont stop me from saying the state of things is really bad and a reset would be well welcome and im sure everyone would be on board once the server gets turned on.

This is precisely why (close your eyes Rogean) red deserves a reset. This is exactly what was fostered by xp loss in pvp when server launched and the staff simply did not react, because they didnt care (?), didnt see it happening (?) although everyone was bragging on forums everyday about making people quit or some other reason (?).

They finally fixed it during Kunark when the pop was hitting single digit at nite and a month later or something, Sirken came in with the hilarious "Were nerfing xp to boost the pop, it will go down before it goes up" and server never recuperated after that, not even with launching Velious.

Im still grateful we had a server at all, i helped Rogean beta test red in a capture the flag match and was so pumped for a red server, that im still bitter about the deflated results that happened on launch and everything that trickled down from the first 2 years' mistakes, 10 years later.

But im kind of hijacking the thread here, so you go ahead and ad for your PLing ;)

So we had success with our power levels this last Wednesday and Thursday,
got the enchanter to level 31, and got the Cleric to 39.

I helped introduced two wizards to project 1999 red, and I do want to reiterate that I will power level any class.
Just at the moment I am lacking magical starter weapons for caster classes, which shouldn't be a problem.
I still have plenty of swords and spears for melee classes starting out.

I am still interested in power leveling players that are commited to playing on project 1999 red.
Either on Wednesday or Thursday at a prescheduled time, I need about a 24 hours notice.

Or Friday through Wedensday late at night approxminately 11PM PST.

I think it would be better if a red server was kept simple. Honestly if they made a new Red server all the players would be farming Legacy items and, Legacy items dont make or break the game for me. I much rather them treat project 1999 red as a semi-classic server and make it so all the legacy items are available even after the release Velious.

Likewise, even if they did make a new project 1999 red 2.0 with plans to rotate into red similar with how green is suppose to rotate into blue I don't think I would be that dedicated to farming legacy items when I have so much content to explore on project 1999 red.

lol leave britney alone, really? I already told you to go ahead and have your recruit post, jesus. You dont need live levels to have a healthy pop. 300-600 is enough and its what we would have easy with a red reset that doesnt have xp loss in pvp starting out and and (see, now thats me trolling)

Nice thread.

I think red 99 1.0 is the best place to play eq right now because it doesn’t have permanent poop sockers trying to make a living off of mid tier item pharming.

And if someone’s at a camp you can ask to share or pvp them for it pretty straight forward. Most guys perma pharming aren’t gunna be able to muster a wingman too quick if you come with a buddy.

It’s not as populated as it should be but if you get one or two buddies let alone more to play it’s the place to actually enjoy the game and explore without running into some rule lawyer weirdo.

Then if you make it to 60 there’s plenty of room for more at the raids that take place.

Plus it has the mega advantage that it’s a pvp server which is inherently better.

And it gives you some practice to be more prepared for red 2.0 launch whenever it does come.

I get tired of every post i make gets met with the skepticism, and the comments you write to respond to my post are insulting to put it at the least.

I think your comments belong in the red rants and flames channel and honestly I'm tempted to write in every blue and green post i can about everything wrong with the server. Because you constantly bombard the forum with your Rants and flames, of how dead the red server is and how they should just delete the server. Why does anything you have said have anything about organizing a leveling team on project 1999 red?

you are just a coward trying to manipulate this forum to your own liking but everquest is a community and your rants and flames have a sub section they can go in.


dead server isnt nowhere near a live experience.

The live progression servers aren't even close to a live experience, again what does this have to do with creating a leveling group for project 1999 red


it's great you get to XP ans Farm what ever you want because there are no other players!

This is toxic behavior at its finest. Look scrub, I will never stop posting on this forum and I am going to constantly fight your toxic behavior as much as I can.

The point of everquest is to get immersed in the game and, it doesnt get any more immersive then be able to fight any NPC you want and by extension being able to fight any player because they annoy you.


This is precisely why (close your eyes Rogean) red deserves a reset


You can delete/ restart the red server without discouraging many players no official staff have stated that there ever will be a red reset. I am really sick of your toxic opinions and I will talk to the project 1999 adminstration regarding your behavior.

I literally can't post a single topic in this forum without you guys constantly bantering and reminding us every little thing wrong with project 1999 red, and I think the solution is to do the same to your blue green forums.

Stop being such a fucking thin-skinned baby, you will not make it on a pvp server that has players in it with that kind of attitude. You can literally pick any posts besides this one not related to 2.0 and verify that im not posting in it. I just drive-by commented that i dont understand how people just play when the next day their server could be over. To update you on the news, yes Rogean said 2 years ago that a new server was coming then closed the info faucet.

If you stop being such a white knight for one fucking second and take the time to think through what i am saying, you will actually realise that im pushing for respect for the population thats left playing on red saying that if the devs will just update us, then we will know what the fuck is going on and if we never get 2.0 then we can make the choice to either forget about emu EQ and move on or work on making 1.0 healthier. Keeping things in limbo is disrespectful to people's time investment on 1.0.

This is what he last posted in the big 2.0 thread:

"yea lets build a new red server because if the past 10 years of red server pop has taught us anything, we need to reward them."

So just like parts of the staff, in complete denial that the server is the way it is because they let the worst elements of the server take control of it during the early years and pretty much made the whole thing unsalvageable. Unsalvageable even now because its being forced on life support because of info embargo. The same kind of negligence, 10 years later, that fucked things up in the first place.

Sirken would organize jousting matches for pvp, he just didnt get the point of a sandbox pvp EQ box IMO. Im glad we had GMs that put in hours and im not sure what Sirken did behind the scenes but i would have quit being a GM before killing the server during Kunark with that xp nerf stuff.

This is what he last posted in the big 2.0 thread:

"yea lets build a new red server because if the past 10 years of red server pop has taught us anything, we need to reward them."

So just like parts of the staff, in complete denial that the server is the way it is because they let the worst elements of the server take control of it during the early years and pretty much made the whole thing unsalvageable. Unsalvageable even now because its being forced on life support because of info embargo. The same kind of negligence, 10 years later, that fucked things up in the first place.

Leaving your britney thread alone.... now!

ok, I recall Zade now, but I wasn't talking about what GM's said.

Why do you think the devs are not here discussing ways to help bring back all the old red players?

Come on brother, you know the reason and it isn't that they are in denial.

Red is what it is. Accept it or move on.

They very rarely engaged threads where people gave feedback, that i can remember, even from the early years. I can remember Rogean laughing at me telling me that "This isnt CoD" only to remove xp loss a year later because the server was at single digit pop at nite but thats about it.

Same thing with Sirken, completely out of the blue, nerf xp during Kunark, kill the box that had just been revived with the removal of xp loss, where if they had discussed it prior, 95% of the box would have told them it was a bad idea. Not only that, they dont keep tabs on their actions, its almost like they pop in months later to check like whooops box's dead, lets press this button see what it will do.

That left a bad taste in your mouth that maybe some shady shit was going in the background where some people had money invested on blue and couldnt let red get too popular. Like, was that what was going on? Cuz nothing else computed about why they would take such terrible decisions.

I dont accept that, that the toxicity is why they dont engage on the forums. If i had to bet, they just think they know better and dont need the feedback. All the big toxics like Casey and kimm barely are gone for years, theres just me bitching here, nothing that would make them treat the people politely telling them in a 100 page thread that they are still waiting for an update on the new server or their active players as badly as they are right now. Nothing excuses it. But you are right about one thing, i should just move on and check in here every 3 months.

Good post.

Another thing was banning cross server transactions that really shot red in the nuts because then people kinda thought meh maybe I’ll stick with blue there’s more people there anyways.

I know it was for rmt tracking reasons but server cross trading was awesome and kept people from blue engaged in red quite a bit and after that it was isolated dead box.

I don’t think they purposely tanked red, I could see people saying it was unfair thet one server got to get to level 60 so much faster than the other but I dunno.

Just to be clear, my opinions do not reflect that of any of the Project 1999 staff/developers. I was given the VIP status as a reward for my years of service as a Guide/Senior Guide on Red. My comment about not rewarding the red server reflects on my personal opinion and has no foundation or impact in any decisions the team makes regarding server resets or new servers. On that note, while I was on staff, there was a clear indication from the top that Red would never get reset. So, unless that has changed at some point and has been made public, I would expect that Red will never get a reset. But keep the hope alive!

I was just saying your comments were in line with some comments i remember reading, from rogean if im not mistaken and just the general vibe of the radio silence. AKA were all a bunch of ungrateful little shits that dont deserve much. My comments were to the effects that part of the bitterness is driven by the way staff treats the community (going back to year 1) and i guess it leads into a big feedback loop of negativity. Of course that is my personal opinion and others shouldnt be punished for it. I mean i dont even have to read it all and i would bet my left nut that this is the correct assesment of that giant thread before you came in around page 76 to tell people to go fuck themselves: Everyone was politely asking for an update on the news, except me.

The situation is that Rogean announced a new server 2 years ago, no news since then and now things are in limbo, so people dont know if they should roll here or wait for the new server, leading to 1.0 being in a worse condition than it could be.

Thats the continuity of treating the community poorly, for me. Watching the server drain of all its population during classic to mid kunark because of xp loss, waiting till the last possible moment (single digit pop at nite) to adress the situation and then (lol) delivering the killing blow a month later by nerfing xp. And now letting the server slowly die instead of just popping in and doing a 3 minute update like "2.0 will never happen" so that people who still play red can have a healthier server. Its the not giving a shit about peoples time investment that always got to me, its disrespectful.

I was playing much "griefier" games throughout my red/eq hiatus: Albion online, eve online.

You dont seem to be able to read, or care about what im typing. I dont play because of the limbo. I have only so much X1 grinding juice in me, and if i spend it here for a couple of months and have to do it all over again, might not make it, even though it would be much better than soloing on red dead. 80 people during prime time is still less than 2 people per zone average and each time you guys try to say it isnt so bad i click on the status thing and its 25, 36, etc... 2 hours per day of 80 people isnt the average experience. And id have to think about how much Rogean does not give a fuck and this translates to might pull the plug on 1.0 without so much as a warning.

If Rogean would just certify 2.0 will never happen, then i might decide to invest on red and try to reinvigorate it. I say might because to be frank, i have much better pvp games to play than spend a year or 2 pve'ing catching up in gear to people whove been poopsocking here for the last 7 years or whatever and hoping theres still people around when im done with that.

Have been leveling on red casually. Can confirm no psychopath has hunted me down while grinding to grief me off the server. If anything I’ve been tossed buffs, said hi to etc. But you don’t lose exp for a player death, or loot, if that did happen. I enjoy the smaller population (a larger one would be fine too). Can’t tell you how many times id have a leveling session set up on green (aka a day off) only to run to a camp and have someone sitting there for hours —-I’d just log and play another game.. At least on red if that was the situation and they didn’t want to group I could fight them. I’d lose because I don’t have gear or skill but that’s besides the point.

See its that cycle of bitterness i was talking about. By neglecting the server during the first 1.5 years, the server was distilled to its toxic-est and then you were stuck with the shit community until they had nobody to grief anymore, moved on and now we have this dead server.

I get it, that its kind of disheartening to give your free time for people like disease. But if they had listened to me when we had a pop left to save, the server might have been a place with more diversity of personalities, although now it is very mild compared to the early years, so i dont see why the staff would hold on to that bitterness.

This is why i think red deserves a reset. Not because the devs owe it to us, its because red itself deserves a shot at what could have been. To get that 500+ pop again with a space for casuals, and see if we can make that grow instead of watching it circle down the drain with xp loss.

People who were on Rallos on live know how fucking cool Gfay was. Loads of low level pvp in crushbone, gear sellers up the lift. Just make it happen Rogesus. One item loot, no xp loss, no drop loot event as a permanent recurring event to ease the sting of item loot, flip the switch.

Now back to lurking after this final-ish positive note.

Well, its as easy as convincing those guild members to making a red character and playing.

The server is never gunna get deleted as long as P99 is an active project, so there is that assurance for you. If you want to play meta EQ classic, than red 99 is a top choice since it isn't all fucked up in the meta the same way Blue and Green are. It does feature its own juiced up 7 year poop socker community but we're talking like 40 active players at best.

As you mentioned, P99 staff does not approve of any kind of inter-server trading anymore which means you riches on blue are not tradeable to riches on red. I supposed you could make those transactions anyways but you would be subject to economic sanctions and random bans for the inexplicable 400kpp delivered on blue for however much PP on red that would buy you these days.

It's tough to even know what the economy is because there is so very few platinum based transactions on red anymore due to so few new players. Anything other than dragon loot is going to a pretty small community.

So yeah be an honest john and leave your blue shit alone and just start playing red. You will be swimming in riches in no time and your EQ legend will be eternal.

But for reals bring 30 players and have them play for 6 months with decent commitment and you will have very much success.

I will cleric power level your entire crew for many hours for free on a pre-determined schedule if you are able to muster a crew of 30 + I will give you full HP buffs and keep you healed. Your mob churn will be slow but non stop and as you get into real levels with weapon skills you will move through mobs just fine.

I don't have a lot of spare items but there are a lot of red players that would dust off their login info and come help out, maybe a few red players with low level PK characters would come check things out too.

TMO mass sold equipment and xfered to red.

The best way is to just roll up on red. I'm sure plenty of people would throw junk items at you and power level.

If gustoo helps you, I might log on too and druid/chanter/monk help him help you.


I do want to caution you if you think your group is going to come over, remain an independent team and raid anything significant. That will almost certainly not happen.


I'm not trying to scare you off, because Red is awesome in so many ways. Just that this server only allows 3 guilds.
1) the zerg/allies
2) the resistance/allies
3) a leveling guild

There are some small guilds that do ok, but keyword small.



My advice is to skip to the last chapter and just find whoever is the current raiding guild if you want PvE, or resistance if you want PvP. Talk to them, join up and enjoy all the content you can consume.

What is the most effective way to move an entire guild to red



I'm willing to help power level any player character class. I guess up to level 20, after that point I need to see that a player is devoted and committed to playing. By all means invite your friends over to post here on the forum, come online and talk to me on discord. I am more then willing to help power level you guys. I preferably want to stream it on twitch and hopefully build the community while doing so.

here's a rough estimation of how long my power levels take on red:

level 1-4 Newbie
generally takes about 30 minutes because I try to not use thorns and use this time to help with combat and magic skill ups

level 3-19 befallen
generally takes about 2 hours befallen is really fast good exp, and i think it has no level limit. Its just Unrest is generally better when your level 5+

level 4-27 Unrest
again this generally takes 2 Hours to get to level 20, probably another 2 hours to get 27. Unrest is the best place for druids to power level in the game in my opinion. There is a level limit, I had a level 3 player tried to enter that was knocked back to the dagnors cauldrons entrance, so I think its level 4 entry limit, Karnor castle has a similar level limit in place, you cant enter karnors castle unless your at least level 5.

level 27-35 High hold keep
this is where things slow down a bit because the pickclaw goblins have shamans and other healers within their ranks. Also what slow things down here is the fact that dispel is unresistable, and POTG getting dispelled is kinda devastating. Probably would take another 3 hours to go from 27 from 35 with power level if your going hard and it's really dependant on if your group composition has the ability to interupt the healers.

level 34-40+ Splitpaw Judge Executioner camp
Judge executioner camp is where I always power leveled players to 40. Again it slows down a bit still because of the dispels, but at least there is not healers. This would probably take another 4 Hours again based on the proformances of the group.

level 40-60 Permafrost Bear pits
level 40-50 goes by pretty quickly here in my opinion averaging about a level per hour, but it definitely slows down a lot afterwards.
averaging probably 1 level every 2 hours from 51 to 55, then averages 1 level every 3 hours from 56 to 60.

TMO mass sold equipment and xfered to red.

The best way is to just roll up on red. I'm sure plenty of people would throw junk items at you and power level.

By the way, I am a 60 druid and, I am looking for players interested in getting power level on Project 1999 red server.

I help by giving you starter platinum to buy spells, tinkerer bags to holds many levels of spells and a starter weapon.

from there I try to reward the players that are devoted to the game. If you look like a try hard that is determined to get to level 60 I will probably help you along.

I power level any player character up to level 60 but it is based on if I have other candidates and what level tier we are leveling for the week.

We use a DKP auction loot system that has been renowned by many as the best loot system they have ever seen on red.

Voice required --- lvl 55+ to get dkp --- lvl 60 for 100% dkp rate --- bonuses for qualifying clerics and rogues

This guy waited 7 years to share his thoughts. That is noteworthy and deserving of Red "pras".

New player here . Looking to make a dark elf warrior .. can you hook me up with a starter kit and a free pl

I am willing to power level any player character, however; I had a 4 member group in the 40s last night. On top of that I'm trying to rush a Wizard to get caught up to levels for the group.

That being said I am hustling trying to get players to start characters on the Project 1999 server. The dedicated will be rewarded.

I joined these guys during a group in Splitpaw. Wasn't so much a power level as just a well organized group doing the best with what was available that night, and it was a lot of fun! We had some genuine laughs, tips to improve class performance were shared, and I broke the Enchanter's charm like three times in a row while trying to level my Wind skill during downtime. Doesn't get much more classic than that.

Haha I do imagine how many times the genuine psychos of the server have pretended to be a noob to get yet another power level for free.

I would guess it is about 25%. Most bitter old crusties here already have a bag of kit for their new toon.

I've power leveled groups a few times and then jumped on an alt to join them shortly after only to hear them talking shit about how I just missed out on PL session they "tricked" me into.

As if I wouldn't PL them anyhow.

I'm sure their EXP per hour was slightly hindered but luckily they have another 10 years to hit level 60 so they will be okay in the end.

So far I power leveled a Wizard to their 20s, and they gave up and went back to blue/green. Then I have another Wizard which I successfully power leveled to 34 last night and I have a player interested in rolling something new, he said that he is familiar with playing wizard.

I am still looking for adventurers looking to quench their thirst for dungeon crawling and getting power leveled by a badass 60 druid. I am willing to power level any class you want to play but if your seeking recommendations, I would recommend Wizard, Cleric or Rogue.

If your interested in joining our ranks please send me a add request on discord here:
Zart#4094

or you can send me a direct message on the forums as well.

Yeah, we have a discord group text that I appropriately labeled PLG: Power Level Group
I am just trying to properly coordinate on days that I can help players level and days those players are actually available.
When I reached out on facebook, I actually got quite a few respondents, and our group is up to 6 members. Most player said they are from US EST, and I actually have another player from france so, it has been a challenging endeavor I took upon myself to coordinate all of this.

Today is another day which I am kind of bored and I wish I had something planned in game for later tonight about 7PM PST? but I can always work on solo projects as well.

It's fun helping new players though and getting involved with the community. I always hoped that by hyping the project 1999 red community that I could host a PVP tournament sometime this summer, but someday.

I have plans too to get out in the sunshine, and I'm having fun and content with what I am doing right now.

Well for awhile there we reached maximum occupancy in our power level group chat. Discord has a 10 person limit to the group text feature. It is like a private message but with 9 other people.

Believe it or not, we have some players show up for one session they go from level 5 to level 18 in two hours and then they decide they don't want to play again, which is very discouraging for me.

Organizing events, making sure players have decent starting weapons and spells comes at a cost to me so, I have been tracking which players are active and which are not. I try my best to reward the dedicated as they are the players that will become a new part of the project 1999 Red community. I also update a spreadsheet to track each players levels, under the person's discord handle and who has access to that account.

That being said our group text is up to 7 players, and I would like to find 3 additional players who want to be a part of our Power Level Group team. I am looking for active players that are dedicated to playing on the project 1999 red server. With an experience point boost coming up soon, I'm looking to catch up a small group of individuals to our team who are in there 30s.

I also have a secondary discord group text I appropriately labeled PLG2. Its for players who actively player project 1999 red but seem to be stuck in real life obligations which I understand. It is also for the overflow if we get more then 10 players so, potentially we have space for 11 additional players if the community expresses interest for it.

I mostly get irritated when players get irresponsive to my direct messages and questions if they want to continue playing on the server and what is the current level of their player characters. Some players seem to be trying waste space and time.

Take note that in order for me to invite you to a group chat on discord, you will need to add me as a friend on discord my discord handle is Zart#4094.

From level30 our goal is to level from 30 to 45, and from that point onward we have a Cleric Warrior Bard team which other random individuals can join. We just been holding back on leveling because we want to help stimulate the economy and player activity on the server. The goal of this team as well is to avoid the bear pits and to level in other regions in Norrath to keep things interesting.

I hope some of you reach out to me about joining our team, and please keep the comments in this topic relevant. I really try to avoid toxic immature behavior and I really have proof that many of you on the forums like to derail topics and harass me and I do not appreciate it.

continued harassment of my topics will be reported to the project 1999 management.

There will be a 25% xp bonus for all servers starting Friday May 27th and ending Tuesday May 31st.

Look for either a broadcast in game or a discord server alert when the XP bonus is turned on and off.

Yeah believe it or not, people stop playing on a 34-player (last i checked) prime time server.
