Okay, I'm not sure if you are all familiar, but the new patch that is coming out this month on the live servers is literally driving away HUGE amounts of lifetime players. They have gone too far, I will link it (HERE) as I don't want to talk about it..

ANYWAYS..
I am looking to switch to Project 1999. I know I have some noob questions, so hopefully I don't get trolled and flamed like Universal Chat in EQ. Please bear with me.

If I started now, fresh on Project 1999, at a low level is there a lot of grouping to be had? I currently four-box on Live, but I would rather not do that unless its a necessity.

Also, if this is the wrong spot to post this or anything, I apologize right now. If its easier, send me a private message to talk about this. I am REALLY interested in Project 1999!

Thank you very much!!!

Yeah, I am not playing live anymore since they got rid of swarming. Swarming is just too damn fun as a Shadowknight. I am sad that they are basically gutting Lich Sting entirely, so I am done.

There is plenty of low level grouping. P1999 has a far better leveling experience than EQ Live does, as it takes you around 70-80 levels on Live to get to where you get groups (House of Thule at about 80ish).
