New to Project 1999

Greetings all,

I saw a post on a youtube video about project 1999 and started watching videos on youtube, shorty after I ordered a copy of Everquest titanium and I am waiting for it to ship [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. I was thinking about just doing another enchanter.

Welcome! I played an Enchanter on live and have it as my main here. I just wanted to point out that there is a noticeable difference between how live classic Enchanters were and how they are here. Charm is quite broken on this server until lvl 39 at which point (from what I have heard) charm works much closer to what it was on live back in the day. Charm before that is VERY unreliable as it breaks much to easily and early. I played an enchanter in early 2000 and stuck with him for years and know what I should have been able to do here. People have tried tests with a lot of +cha gear with no positive results.

I still love playing the enchanter (lvl 32 now) but it sucked learning about this problem. I submitted posts in the bugs forum but from what I heard, nothing is planned in terms of addressing this problem.

If you are uncertain about what class to play, go with what you want and love or try something new. The great thing is that all of the old zones have people running around killing stuff just like the great old days.

On this server? Cha definately helps with charm on this server [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I agree that charisma works great on this server. The point that I was making is that it doesn't really help much for charming prior to lvl 39. This is based upon my own experiences (pre-lvl 39), the comments from others (the effectiveness of charming post 39) and the research from others who filled up on +cha gear and tested charming at low levels (in the bugs forum). The added charisma for lower level charming had a negligible effect upon the duration of charm. This was definitely not the case on live when I started my enchanter in Jan or so of 2000 and was not what I saw watching other low level enchanters in 1999. I was just pointing this fact out to the original post so that expectations for charming were adjusted accordingly.
