Don't give it a whole lotta thought, tbh.

My brothers and I (for of us in total) are all new (within a couple weeks or so) to the server. I can confirm that much, anyway [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I am new, been here for about three weeks now. Part of why I finally decided to try p1999 was that I activated my live account to access the free heroic upgrade. Logged into live, saw the current state of the game, hated it, got nostalgic, boom. Hello project 1999.

EQMac closed and a couple of guilds opened up on P99. Also, they've been talking about P99 quite a bit more on the live forums. I'm sure a good number are new. Plus, with sony's new content release model (Tier 1/2 of expansion in Fall/Winter, then a new tier each quarter after), many of the hard core peeps on live are bored. Many raid guilds are finishing all worthwhile raids in one or two nights a week now. Also, the reason above is a big reason too. The live game is completely different than the classic game. Its a combination of a bunch of things.

I'm here because of EQMac closing personally, even though I played on p99 a couple of years ago.

I heard casual mention of p99 on Reddit, which led me to look for video streaming. The 15th anniversary stirred up interest in EQ in general, and some folks (like me) wanted to re-experience the classic rather than the present incarnation.

I just returned yesterday, first time i've played since 2011. Everyone has been really friendly, finding groups has been a breeze, and I am enjoying the hell out of the game. Oh how i've missed EQ.

If someone comes along and wants to hand me something out of their own kindness, I'll happily take it and thank them. But I have not and will not ever beg for equipment. After having looked up what RMTing means, I'm actually kind of surprised because doesn't it sort of spoil the fun of this game? Isn't part of the fun actually EARNING your equipment?

That said, I guess I sort of understand why some players might be apt to begging. P99 is a fair bit more difficult than modern MMO's and has a much steeper learning curve and a greater demand of patience and knowledge from the player, and some people simply can't handle it. But how did people originally make it to level 50 when the game first came out? They did it with banded armor and fine steel weapons. That's kinda how it should be.

You know too much to really be new. Admit that you got banned and are returning.
