Why do you play p99

[iruinedyourday]

I just rolled my 3rd character and he popped up in Qeynos. I did a /w and saw 8 players.

That's why I play p99 - Because some awesome people made a classic EQ server and when I get on, there are 8 of you running around, doing chores and talking to stupid merchants & NPC's that are drunk at the docks, picking fights with other drunk NPC's and I know when I set foot in that glorious zone, West Karana - that among all those awesome NPC farmers and barbarians, will be 8 more awesome Hafllings and Wizards running around fighting spiders and lions.

I love Qeynos and the Karanas. Thank you P99 for letting me enjoy it the way it should be, with other Rogues, Bards & Warriors.

I hope you share your awesome love for EQ because for me, sharing classic feels is the best classic feel you can get [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I always appreciate someone who embraces the Qeynos/Karanas experience. It's a shame to see someone roll a toon there and promptly beg for a port to WC.

some day i'll go back to the swamp, running around and bashing things with my fluffy troll. for now, i get my jollies by wiping out mobs and camps that used to own me on live (i kill a lot of sand giants)

I transferred money for a random person in Steamfont Mnts today. I played WoW off and on for years through L80 or something and never had an interpersonal thing like that occur.

That about sums it up.

I play because I was three and missed out on the entire experience. My first MMO was BC WoW. I've always wanted to go back to the hardcore days, so I've been giving this a go.

There's a certain charm that comes with starting in Qeynos. I rolled a druid on live back in the day, and promptly drown in Surefall Glade. I was a human, it was night, and I walked into the little moat around the druid guild.

I played EQ because my friends did; we started together, and ended together, camping in the same zone that we originally started in. I played WoW for a couple years, and not once did I feel the comradery that I did when I played EQ on Vallon Zek.

Qeynos Aqueducts are such a great place to level a new character. Lots of good newbie items and you get to work on your swimming skills. The quest involving beggar wyllins severed head also gives decent exp

The Qeynos area is the proper place to start because it has the true newbie dungeon, Blackburrow. Oh sure, people love Crushbone, but Crushbone is basically a 2D dungeon, no layers to it except for the castle area. Blackburrow is just a mess of layers and tunnels, a true 3D dungeon; and the trains are glorious. Plus South Qeynos has that bulletin board / post-it board that some people tried to use way back in 1999 haha!

Quick edit: Qeynos Hills also teaches you about the subtleties of factions. See: Holly Windstalker.
