Loading up project 1999 tonight
 

Any suggestions? Any low levels groups starting off that I can join? What's needed class wise?

I was an enchanter on live back in the day.

Play what you enjoy playing to be honest :)

Suggestions, check out the various UI's posted on the forums, the high res textures.

Try again in a few days/week. Server is under constant denial of service attack leading to lag and death. Almost no way to play right now.

Really? That's kinda heart breaking :(

It's not that bad, I have been playing all day and it's really only effected me 3-4 times, with only one death resulting.

never have issues over on red, no one cares about us lolz

He is being somewhat dramatic but yes the server is currently under some sort of attack its not so bad I'd still check it out

I've had no problems due to the DDOS at all in the past three or so days, outside of the server going down. YMMV.

Alright; I'll try this afternoon when I get home from work. I guess when I asked about class choice I was alluding to:

What's going to be needed in raids?
Ability to solo?
Not going to have a hard time finding a group?

Like I could definitely love playing a rogue, shaman, cleric, wizard, necromancer, mage....

But I don't want to be something that isn't needed in raids or groups. As a first character I think I want to avoid huge experience penalties (but an ogre SK does sound fun).

Kinda psyched at the moment :)

The lag wasn't so bad last night. Maybe if you were quading or bard kiting it would have sucked but otherwise it was livable.

Raid guilds especially recruit clerics, rogues, and wizards, I'd say. If you know EQ you know what solos and what doesn't and what exp groups like. Shaman is probably one of the best all around: solos, group, raids.

But its a long ride. Play what you will have a blast playing, because if you aren't so into your class the grind is going to burn you out. If you are good at your class any group or guild will want you, no matter what it is.
