I'm not having fun playing this game. Why?

Altho here on old forum posts they all said Necro is the best and easiest solo class and it's hard to find a group for newbies anyways which makes Necro the best noob class.

Those are fair assessments for the necromancer class; the issue is more that picking iksar is harder on a truly new player to start out with than some other race options. Long-term it pays off since iksar are very good necromancers, so if you stick around you'll be rewarded for it.

If you aren't crazy with the mechanics of the game I don't think you are going to stay.

The sad state is that this game is extremely old and those that use to play it are getting older.

It isn't friendly questing to 60, it will be more grinding (especially in hell levels) and the game lacks the flashy enjoyable aspects found in new MMOs.

I have a 60 Iksar necro and it isn't an amazing feat. Many others do too.

It was a grind to get to the top and all I do is farm for money for my alts now.

I twink my alts and the game remains fun to me by reminiscing about the time I played in college with friends. I did all the raiding and don't even bother with that anymore.

I suspect if you get past this next hurdle in level you may be tempted again to leave if you have a number of deaths losing a lot of exp or can't retrieve your body.

Expect the punishment.

Other players and a guild can help with these problems but higher levels don't always respond to lower level woes.

I suggest one of the WoW emulating servers if you aren't having fun on p99.
