There's RP. Greengrocer, Borf, and Juntsie are three names that immediately come to mind as really huge roleplay gods on this server. Greengrocer is a world-travelling meat vendor collecting rare and exotic cuisine from all across the globe and selling it out of EC, Juntsie is a troll lawyer mediating end-game conflicts, the defense of the accused in GM stings, and the like, and Borf is the leader of <Clan Borf>, the best class C guild under 10 people on the server (not actually a class C guild, but we roleplay them as one because they assisted in a class C kill one time and it's fun to take things as far as they'll go). He is a tremendously powerful shaman and a force to be reckoned with, but recently there's been some discussion over his leadership of Clan Borf, as the guild charter dictates any who defeat the guild master in single combat are granted lordship over the clan, and Borf was recently defeated by Filbus Furyfoot, the famed halfling warrior and slaughterer of everything that moves, but Filbus declined leadership of Clan Borf. I believe some discussion was had over Filbus assuming a council position in the guild through a proxy. I don't know if it was ever resolved.

<Harbingers of Thule> is an iksar-only RP guild dedicated to the destruction of Norrath. They do a lot of standing in front of things hissing at people. They have a guild website at www.harbingersofthule.com .

Filbus and I write roleplay stories that we share here on the boards. I'll go ahead and link them below if you want to read them.

More roleplayers are definitely needed on the server and on the forum; if you choose to go that route definitely keep in touch.

Roleplay threads by me and Filbus (in consecutive order so they make sense):

if only someone would start a <Roleplay Guild> where everyone you met was some lost son of mistmore, or a cyborsex hunting woodelf, or a long lost king of kings.

So much fun now that the staff regulates the raid scene

ie You can engage talendor once every other tuesday during a full moon with a rogue if he/she was camped out in antonica in advance

They fall into the third category!

Love it. Especially the Harbingers. If they are still around I will need to pay them a visit.

Many, many people fall into this category - truth be told, there are likely as many or more of these kinds of players than there are raiders. Whether gearing up an alt or just hanging out with friends, this is a popular choice here on Project 1999.

Class N(on-Factor) is best class.

Yeah it sure does suck when druids charm apes in PoFear!

Again, looking solely at the end-game, Ranger, SK, and Pally are all pretty bad options as well. You may as well call them Death Touch takers.

If you just want to have some fun pre-50, I would roll an SK or Pally. Warriors can be good too but don't really come into their own until 50+, but once you get there they are very much worth it.

Imo, you should have at least one char in your mind for the end-game, and then do whatever you want with the rest of your chars.

Thanks!

If you want to RP, try communicating with people in /say as though your character were talking, not you. This means there will be different motivations and concerns.

Recently, Keke and I went to Rivervale to get blackout drunk. On the way in, I saw a troll shaman attacking Deputy Percin, a kind of shitty deputy. But, he is my cousin. I managed to convince the troll with words (and a little plat) to leave Rivervale alone that night.

Simply reach out with some flavor and you will be surprised by how many people on this server are capable roleplayers. It's a very rewarding experience. We don't need a <Roleplay Guild> to do that, do we? :)

end game is a drama-filled pixel frenzy - you can make any class work for you, but druid is not traditionally strong
