It sounds like you might not be aware of the wiki. It has tons of literal guides as well as lots of other other basic information like maps. If your goal is to create truly new content you really should start there and see what people have already done. |
I've seen the P99 wiki, it's a wonderful resource and many of us use it for the TLP servers during those eras... That's actually what made me want to write guides for specifically P99 because it was a very frequent complaint on how much information the wiki was lacking and/or that it had out of date information.
To give you an example the wiki barely shares any information AT ALL about Kael Drakkel, one of the main Velious endgame zones as I am sure many of you are aware. It doesn't say what nameds are there, what they drop, where they spawn or anything like that at all. I'm going to be putting up a guide that covers basically everything that guide doesn't later this weekend or before that.
Also as someone who had never personally experienced the end game of Classic - Velious prior to the Lockjaw/Ragefire TLPs - I found the information the wiki had on Kael armor and Skyshrine armor to be really confusing and needing a total rewrite (which is why I started with those guides). It explains to you the basics of the armor but it doesn't really go indepth about how to get it or how to raise the reputations you need to turn in the armor pieces. I didn't entirely realize that Skyshrine armor was such a pain in the ass to get until I had already grinded all of ToV with my box team and then I realized that i would effectively have to grind kael for weeks to just turn in the pieces of armor I farmed. Obviously a grevious oversight on my part and my own ignorance is mostly to blame but that's the point too; the guide(s) were very unclear on things like this.
I wouldn't mind creating "new" content but those of you on these servers would have to tell me what the P99 wiki is missing - you'd all know best which is what I made this post for! The first poster said he doubts many people would google how to reach Thurgadin which is basically the only original idea I came up with that P99ers might want, maps on how to get places since your server has no maps.
The best I can do in the mean time is rewrite guides that are inaccurate/have holes in them that I have found. Like the velious armor guides and Kael Drakkel's zone guide.
