Oh awesome. No the colors are lighter because my phone for some odd reason when it imports stuff from Sketchbook pro makes everything super light, and I was too lazy to darken it up in photoshop :/

Just keep in mind that P1999 recreates Kunark-era EQ. It'll get Velious in time, but that's all. Aside from the name it's effectively a different game from Live. The level cap is 60 and it's very slow to get there. There are no AA's, no mercs, no level requirements on gear, no soulbinders, no Plane of Knowledge books to port around with, no modern class balancing, no Bazaar, and none of a hundred other features added since circa 2001.

That's totally cool with me, as long as the forums are friendly for me asking noobish questions, or I can find people to just /tell and help me, I'll be all set! :D Thanks Danth.

Bro I'll be flat out honest, after you play here awhile you will be upset you wasted any time playing EQ live at all.

I never got to enjoy the early content of EQ. I'm only 23, and by the time I got into EQ-Live, it was already around the LDoN/GoD era. My Uncle played since 99, and I remember watching him in '99 having to ride boats, run across many zones, get lost in towns, etc.

I want to live back in those days. So I'm here :D

Yeah you're not like my 25 year old ancient ass.

What class did you main while you played live?

vjfinazzo 02-06-2014 04:43 AM

Haha 25 is not ancient at all, we probably have a lot in common.
When I played back in the day, my main was a Necro and also had a Warrior, played and raided them equally once I got up to end-game. After a huge break, coming back to Live these last 2 months, my main has been an SK and I box a Bard/Shaman/Zerker with him. But I will not be boxing (as it is not allowed) on the P1999 server. So I am torn on what to create. I love my SK, but idk if Bard's were as beneficial back then as they are now. Oh, and I LOVE my Warrior.

Welcome home! Bring your friends! There are plenty of groups to be had and people to meet at all levels, but it's always fun to have people you already know around to group and meet new people with!

Bazia 02-06-2014 04:46 AM

Depends on what you want to do.

If you are huge on raiding and already considering bard I would go with that, super easy to level with swarm kiting.

They are arguably one of the most OP classes in the game in this era and are in incredibly high demand by raiding guilds.
