Is it worth starting now?
 

Hi all,
Recovering eq addict 15 years sober.

I was wondering is it even worth hopping onto this wagon knowing that the top end is all dominated?

What I mean is that is it even possible to get gear / gear myself up as once I reach the 50s?

I'm not talking about the best in slot or anything just reasonably decent so that I'm not a total gimp i.e decaying skeleton cloth armor @ lvl 60.

Thank you.

P.S Lvl 4 Enchanter and rising :)

definitely ;)

yep

Not only is it possible, your perception of the domination is false as well. Its relatively fair when the main players of the top guilds are in play. And you have as much chance of getting there as anyone else, if you make the effort it will happen. I often have to remind myself and others that if you arent lvl 60 you really shouldnt worry about too much other than your next lvl.

Actually because the server is so top heavy, cheap gear is everywhere.

A lot of starter gear is so cheap that its just given away now adays. End game gear is very much about how much platinum you own.

as "top heavy" as p99 is there is still a remarkably healthy amount of folks/guilds that play the entire scope of the game. you will meet people and find many groups at all levels. there are still "leveling guilds" and "family guilds" casually moving through content all the way from the very very beginning of the raid game.

if you like EQ be very careful...p99 might ruin your life again!

Absolutely. I'm playing it as a casual game at the moment. Pulling a mob, killing it, resting, and mixing this album I'm working on.

Run away as fast as you can
