P99 is not like classic and here is why
 

As a new player I have a few characters now, my highest being a 25 rogue.

As a new player it is retardedly hard to find a group.

East Commonlands is full of people soloing.

I went to Crushbone and the entire place was being camped by people Soloing.

Unrest is the first dungeon where I could actually count on getting a group in the evening.

You see, this server has been around for too long. Everyone is playing Alts with thousands of plat worth of gear and just soloing into their late teens or early 20's. This really fucking sucks for us new players.

Either start playing with other people or reset the damn server. Because this IS NOT HOW CLASSIC WAS. I have so many fond memories from Classic because people were so friendly and it was easy to find a group.

Not everyone owns a Fungi.

Maybe you're looking in the wrong zones.

No groups for a level 25 in EC or Crushbone. Unrest has...one camp for a level 25.

Go to Mistmoore, High Keep or Upper Guk.

You'll find plenty of groups there.

I prefer to solo(necro), but I get group/duo invites constantly. There are tons of people who would party up with you, be sure to turn LFG on.

Seems classic as fuck to me.

A In-era/classic server 9+months into velious there wouldn't be groups at the east commonland orc camp either.

what? No my 25 rogue doesn't have any issues anymore. It's trying to level a character from like level 5 to 16 that really sucks people! Everyone is soloing.

You sound mad.

I'd say most people do 1-10 solo.

I also agree with you somewhat, as I clearly remember Orc 1 and Orc 2 being perma-camped by full groups pretty much back in '99.

You'll still see groups there though, they're just not as common.

Befallen, Crushbone, Oasis, and Kurns are all fairly populated with groups in that level range though.

Reset the Server. In 1.5 years, another player shows up complaining about that same thing. Every time someone complains, Reset the Server just for them.

I think this is an EQ with kunark/velious issue, not just the server itself. There is such a larger time sync between 50-60 than 1-50 that casual players end up there slogging away there instead of the putzing through the lower levels on alt, etc. So the server will always end up top heavy and PL'ing alts at lower levels.

That's funny because I remember the opposite. I started playing end of 1999 and into 2001 and I never had much trouble finding a group in the lowbie levels. And I DEFINITELY don't remember seeing this many twinks. I remember seeing my first twink back then and being amazed. Here on P99 Twinks are INFESTING the low level zones.

The most common response I get is "Sorry I AFK a lot, have to solo". I swear I have heard that about 10 times now. Well you sure couldn't solo if you were not a fucking twink so at least group and then when you have to AFK, say "I need to AFK for a couple minutes" It's not fucking rocket science.
