Greetings!
 

I just came across the P99 server yesterday, while looking for some kind of "real" way to play EQ again. Yep, this is the place! I love the server and this project, it feels like the beginning all over again, which apparently is the purpose of this server so...job well done!

Had a great time spending my first 3 hours online last night in GFAY getting my Bard up to level 3! I also met some nice folks last night right off the bat. Being 100% new (again) of course I was doing my all just to come up with some rusty gear and money for my new songs, when all the sudden a friendly little dwarf came up to me and handed over some fine ring mail as a friendly donation...how refreshing! He said the pieces I couldn't wear I could sell, so I picked up a few plat at the vendor and was able to get some backpacks, songs and food and water. I was pleasantly surprised by the population last night, for some reason I expected to be in a ghost town at low level but there were 30ish people on last night in GFAY so I guess grouping shouldn't be a problem for the most part which is nice.

At any rate, having a blast and looking forward to the journey all over again. Cheers and see you in Norrath. :)

Welcome!

LOL...you're right. My Bard's name is Riffsteel. Wow, I just read that the Bard has a -40% xp penalty! Feel the pain burn! :)

It's true, but unlike rangers you can really contribute to the group ;)

There are plenty people who hate on hybrids and or bards because of the exp penalty they bring to groups. But if you show you can haste and mez everything then they shouldn't complain.

The best way to group is always to start the group. Just do a /who search for the classes and the levels for people you want and send out tells to every person available. Should only take a couple minutes and you will probably get a lot of people wanting to join. Always always just start a group, especially a hybrid. The a again you are a bard and you can kite literally 200 mobs at once cheater, so there's that
