Been there done that just don't want it to take quite as long as before - the 40% exp penalty was always harsh, one of the main reasons it was removed (and removed even before they ruined the game).

Anyway, I probably won't be playing until the class based penalties are removed - P1999 can't possibly have the number of lowbies necessary to make "the journey" anything like what it was, and tbqh, levelling was far too slow even with that.

You'd be surprised just how many people there are to group with as a new player. People make a LOT of alts here, more than you'd expect. It's really no problem at all to group consistently up to at least 40 before you have to put any effort in.

You'll also be surprised at just how many people you meet along the way, early on, that happen to also be new to the server. It isn't all alts you meet.

As for leveling being too slow, it isn't as slow. Why? Even though I said it isn't all alts you meet, you'll certainly meet quite a few. They'll be geared. You'll level quicker grouped with them.

The only real reason not to play here would be "I don't want to play Everquest". It works quite smoothly and naturally whether you're new to the server or not.

It is recommended to play some sort of caster your first time around though, simply because they don't rely on gear nearly as much. Then you can get a bank of money going and start some melee character to twink (If you want to)
