Hi all Bhubbles level 3 Ogre Warrior here... First time playing eq ever and it's been quite an amazing expierence. I played wow for a long time and lead two endgame raiding guilds for a while but for me the game was two easy and the community sucked! I searched all over the web for something new and gave up on mmo's a year ago. A few weeks ago I stumbled across a YouTube clip on p99 and was very intrigued, I came right to the sight and started reading. I was convinced after my research that this was the game and community for me so I ordered it and logged in for my first time 3 days ago...

Let me say, this game is Hard and I love it! I fell into some water and thought no biggie jump right out and keep moving; wrong I sank like a rock and i couldn't figure out how to get out and slowly watched my self drown! And when you die you have to get your corpse, learned that one the hard way when I ran back to kill another lizard man and realized I didn't have my weapon equipped anymore. Ran like heck for the town and yep they follow you all the way lol!

I lost my corpse and was told to go to the ecommon lands tunnle (thank you eq atlas). So my naked level 1 ogre warrior started his journey and I mad it to innothul and died, whelp lets try again... Dead, dead, dead, dead, lol dead! I quickly /tell (took awhile to figure out it was tell and not whisper) someone who recommended i get a Druid to port me thank you kasaga! He showed me which way to run and I ran my naked butt as fast as I could to that tunnle. I got a bind which he told me about thank goodness because I died again last night and would of been back at the ogre starting city.

Walked into that tunnel naked 5-6 hours after starting the game having actually killed one monster and it was an amazing exp. I got a weapon from someone at the tunnel and found a cloth cape and someone gave me some food and water and started hacking down pumas and Orc pawns!

Excellent game excellent community and I can't wait to meet and explore with you all. This is the game I was looking for and it's amazing!

Sincerely your friendly neighborhood Ogre "Bhubbles"

Bhubbles...LOL oh yeah I think we all remember the very first time we played EQ, and your experience is pretty much like most of ours were.

Welcome

This server can handle >1500. That's the highest population this server has seen and that was on the release day of Ruins of Kunark.

oh thats awesome!

and bhubbles my god my first time playing was just as pleasant as yours =P oh memories

O, to be a true noobie again. Especially coming from WoW, you'll understand all the "hand-holding" modern MMOs offer and you may not understand why, but you'll realize that's not quite right, for whatever reason. I'd recommend you keep the P99 wiki page open, and alt+tab as needed. It's a great resource for new and old players alike.

Hey everybody Gnatte 11 gno wiz here, I have played some EQ1 years ago and alot of EQOA/EQ2, no new game out there seems to cut it for me so me and my gaming buddy came to p1999. The community has been great and the leveling has been brutal but super fun! :eek:

Heh yeah it's soo big and unforgiving! My chronicles will continue tonight, going to try and find some armour! Been reading for awhile today and still not sure how to get some (no quests from what I see). I got my cloth cape from an Orc pawn so I am guessing that it's dropped by Monsters.

Wish me luck!

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Hey all,

I'm one of the new players on the server (well I technically created an account a long time ago, but I never sat down and actually played), and I'm trying to bring some friends with me (one of which has never played EQ in any form). Almost everyone I've encountered has been extremely helpful and friendly, and I'm glad to be a part of the community! Right now I am a 12 Paladin, 12 Necromancer and 6 Magician, as I've been struck with a bit of altitis already. Hopefully I'll spend most of my time on my Paladin, Danlor (forum name "Danlor" was apparently unavailable).

See everyone in game. :)

Ahh this brings back great memories. Best of luck to you sir, don't give up.

Welcome! 1st corpse summon is free. . .see you on the battlefield.
