Default Greetings!

Hey folks,

Wife and I have been looking for something decent to play for a while; we both played EQ back in the day (although we never knew each other in those days!). Left EQ to play DAoC (met there [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ) and have been playing MMO's for more years than we care to remember. Pretty bored with the "new" MMO's as they all seem to be cookie cutter games that are rather "easy".

We still talk about the good old days and EQ which of course, brought me here.

Anyway, just wanted to get some feedback on the state of the game; are there still enough lower lvl players for us to find groups and have some fun? How's the community (one of the best things about the original EQ)?

It's been so damn long since either of us played EQ, not sure how it will sit these days!

Thanks in advance!

Yeah, there are tons of low level players. I love the community. The only downside is the server is currently having "lag" issues due to a DDOS attack that seems to hit randomly.. Supposedly it's not the first time this has happened, but hopefully it'll be ending soon. Other than that I love the server and the community. East Commonlands is just as I remember it with all the people in the tunnel.

Welcome!

Plenty of lower levels to group with. In fact, last night at midnight eastern there were 20 people in crushbone.

Welcome Boone! I am also a new player just a few days in. Do go by my join date as that is when I first looked into P99 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I see lots of low level players in GF so I do not expect you and your wife to have problems.

The community is fantastic until you get to the raid scene. Even high level grouping is pretty decent and civil. Groups can be found at all levels, but a duo can level as fast (if not faster). /jelly, wish I could convince the wife to play.

Be sure to apply for an IP exemption. The server doesn't allow multi boxing and blocks it by allowing only 1 connection per ip by default. The sooner you get the request put in the sooner you can both play (assuming you are on the same connection).

Welcome, and don't give comments like this too much credit. The raid scene isn't all doom and gloom. LOL

Find some people you like and raid with them for good times. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

not fantastic != doom and gloom. But the leveling scene is more fun than the raid scene for most on this server.

Thanks folks!

Ahh yes, the EC Tunnel. How many Sunday afternoons did I sit there [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

We'll probably end up playing the classic Cleric/Warrior combo although she likes to be the tank no matter what class she plays lol

Thanks for the reminder about the IP exception, I had read that in the FAQ and it slipped my mind. Just gotta find the game now...
