Returning to P1999!

[Trojanman]

Hi guys, I'm a returning player that started fresh with p1999 back when it launched. I recently go re-excited about it and want to dive in for a long term run!

Seems my druid was reset? maybe a character wipe or something, but now its lvl 1 and nekkid so looks like I'm starting fresh.

First question is class selection. I am tinkering with a bard (never played one) and am pretty interested in that play-style. I used to play druids and clerics. Anyone have a good reason to talk me out of it before I get too far along? Besides the obvious low exp gain. Groups really wont invite a bard because of that?

Second is; are there any friendly guilds that would welcome a guy like me? I'm all about the social experience, grouping and helping people.

Thanks all, I'm excited to be back!
