Been thinking about Nibbz but more so the zone's his type caters to and what I did the first time on P99.
City of Mist. The first time I made a new character on P99 I went to CoM because that is where everyone appeared to be. I quickly realized there are about 4 camps where ppl sit and pull and quickly it gets pretty mindless. The trains can be pretty epic and exposes bad players fairly quickly. Drama ensues.
What pulled me here? Yes the xp was ok but it was the feeling of safety and progression, not really the quality of people.
What kept me here from 40-49? Honestly I blame myself, a lack of creativity and exploration. And the damn no effort xp.
My 2nd toon I made a cleric and vowed to try new things. At 40 I thought hmmm where is somewhere I have never leveled? I went to Tower of Frozen Shadow and met some new people. They seemed different then people in CoM. Words I would use are Focused, Skilled, Knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and wanted me to succeed in there.
Now I am level 47 and can say the Tower has been worth the effort, I plan on returning to get level 51 there and key 7 and master key. Btw the loot is pretty good here too ;-) at least for cleric, can't speak for other classes.
Ok my big point is this ... places like CoM attract certain types of people, definitely Nibbz. Make friends and go to less populated areas. Do you really want to have to explain to your children that you spent your 40s in CoM? Guess the zone Nibbz is going to head to next ... yup Karnor's Castle ... CoM 2.0
I for one will be spending my 50s in Howling Stones. A zone Nibbz would never dare enter or be invited to join.
Try new things P99 community, don't get sucked into CoM and KC ;-) you will enjoy the journey and challenge and especially meet some cool people in the process.
Nibbz I suggest you do the following
- Go AFK less or announce AFK
- Understand that people matter more then xp. The more people you piss off the less your odds of doing fun dungeons will be. You want to make friends if you want epic help.
- Take some responsibility and improve. We are counting on you!
