Belated introduction and a hello to Green peoples o/

[countbb]

Greetings everyone!

As you can tell by my join date, I've been on the fence about jumping back in because I didn't want to play alone. I remember first playing EQ in 1999 with my younger brother, but I never got past level 10 with any of the characters I made. While I didn't really progress much, I fondly remember the sense of adventure the game invoked and how much fun it was exploring the different towns and newbie areas.

Personal circumstances kept me from continuing to play at the time, but I was finally able to convince my younger brother to have another go at things during the holidays. My research showed me just how different the modern version of the game is, and I don't like how they have a cash shop in it now, so P99 is perfect for us to re-experience the game (sans that beautiful screen-hog of a UI </3)

We've started up as an Enchanter (me) and Necromancer duo. I've had so much fun playing that I even created a Bard to play when I'm not playing with my brother.

We are currently level 6 and a bit stuck as to where to progress in Nektulos forest. The southern side of the bridge has kodiak bears that hit us REALLY hard, while the northern side cons mostly green (save for the halflings and lesser mummies). On top of that, we have the added complication of me being a Gnome and him being a Dark Elf (so he has to buy my spells for me in Neriak since they won't talk to me). Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

For those interested we've scheduled to play together on Tuesday, Thursday, and (hopefully) Saturday evenings (PST). However, chances are you'll find me on my Bard sporadically throughout the week when I'm not busy.

Feel free to ping me on the official Discord (@Barb) if you'd like character names (I don't know why, but I feel weird posting them here at the moment).

My hope is that we are both able to grow strong enough to become contributing members to our shared world.

May we cross paths and go on many excellent adventures together [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
