Coming back?
 

Been wanting to come back to Everquest, but my best memories of the game are from beta/plain and early Kunark. A friend of mine told me about Project1999 and I was wondering if its worth coming back to, if there are enough people playing on the server still to get groups and such.

I tried coming back to the regular Everquest servers and its a nightmare to level if your not a class that can solo well because there are no groups for leveling anymore.

I see orc groups happenin all the time while I'm sitting in EC. AFAIK there are groups all over the place, and people are leveling alts a lot. We're hitting about 800 peak and we have a steady 400 around all times

ive been in Gfay/CB for the past 3 evenings - usually around 5-12 in CB - people calling for groups. id say its healthy.

pst if anyones going to CB bring me a fire beetle eye plz!

Xarn from Mith Marr late 90s by chance?

Had a couple character names, Xarn was one, Motten was my 1st, Xorez was another.
Played mostly Prexus early on.

Gotcha, knew a paladin by the name of Xarn back in the day. Thought you might have been him. At any rate, Pro 99 is a lot of fun, and I reccomend you try it out.

Definitely jump in & try out the GFay/CB area - you'll have a great time!

Also, stay off the forums. They're totally unrepresentative of the actual in-game population.

Plenty of groups at lower levels in all the usual places (Crushbone, EC, Unrest, Guk), even Befallen. Using the LFG tag (which ofc we didn't have back in the day!) is very helpful and people are pretty good about traveling if it will get them into a decent group. I strongly recommend that you give it a shot :)

What classes are in demand right now? For low lvl and even up at high lvl for grouping/raiding? I've played most/all of them up to at least 60 and enjoy most of them.

All level ranges - good tanks

High levels - good tanks, sometimes DPS, sometimes heals
