[LIST][*]Class Roles - As SOE released expansions, some classes started slipping into different roles. Let me give an example; Druid. Pre-Velious druids were damage, utility, some buffs, some debuffs, etc. In Velious they started getting heals. Fast forward 5 expansions and Druids are now considered healers primarly. Nukes, dots, kiting, all of that just became an afterthought. Will it be the same way in p1999?

P1999 will stop at Velious, so druids will never be considered primary healers on this server. They do, however, get better heals/buffs with Velious which will make them better back up healers. Currently they're rather weak in that department with Superior Heal being their best.

[*]Class Population - What are the seemingly over populated classes at 60? What are the seemingly under populated classes? Do you find yourself always saying "Dang I wish we had a *insert class* handy". Or do you often say "Ugh, another bard?". Just curious what's over populated. I ask because part of the fun for me is being needed. Since I'm not needed in RL [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The P1999 Wiki has a population chart from last year to see the percentage of each class at various levels. Druid, Necro, Enchanter, Monk, and Shaman seem to be the most popular. Least popular are Ranger, Paladin, and Wizard.

Your choice for what's needed also kind of depends on your goals, Group vs. Raid. In Velious, Clerics, Warriors, Rogues, Monks, and Wizards will all be needed in the raid game. Enchanter and Shaman too, but probably not to the same degree.

[*]Gear - No Trade/Drop - It seems like pretty much all gear was droppable until after Velious when they startted flagging things as no drop. This changed the game in a profound way. I'll keep my opinion to myself, but am wondering, moving forward, will p1999 adopt the no drop idea or continue the way of old?

If Velious was flagged with lots of no drop in the original release, it will likely be the same here.

[*]Global Chat - I don't think a global chat existed in the early game. Though it is a great way to find other folks to play with, it also makes the world feel small. Pros and cons of course. Just curious if there is a global chat or not. I'm guessing not.

It didn't exist originally, so no it's not on this server.

[*]Guilds - Are guilds in the game? Should I just be reading the entire wiki for this kind of stuff? Why do I have to keep asking so many questions? A simple yes/no will suffice!

Tons of guilds. Everything from super casual family guilds, to hardcore competitive raiding.
