High level newbie, in need of orientation

[Haunt]

Hey everyone,

The quick version of my story is that I discovered p99 about 6 months ago, binged hard for a couple months, then decided to take a break because I was putting in too much time. I want to start playing again, but I'm not sure where to start.

My current situation: I have a 49 enchanter and I did enough plat grinding to have fairly decent gear, including a goblin ring and journeyman boots. I spent 99% of my time in a small number of areas where I was grinding, so I didn't experience much of the world. Apart from some time in High Keep, where I met some very cool people - I was mostly playing solo, and on top of that my friends list is empty due to replacing my computer during my break from p99. I was having a lot of fun leveling up my enchanter and conquering the content that I could never get a handle on when I originally played this game as a kid, and I want to get back into it - but I have no idea what to do or where to go.

Any advice on where a 49 enchanter can go to play solo, good areas to look for groups, potential guilds to consider joining, etc. is advice that I would appreciate. When I originally played the game the level cap was 50 (but I never had a character above 30), and on my current character I basically did nothing but kill spectres starting in the 30s - so all of the content that is level appropriate is the complete unknown to me.

Thanks in advance for any guidance that y'all have to offer.
