New (Old) Player... worth it now?

Pretty sure links to pirated software are not allowed. Not judging you, but pretty sure that's forum rules and eqemu policy.

[Zithax]

yeah that's right its a rule

[Takshaka]

not only is it a rule to not post links to pirated software I am pretty much sure you are not even allowed to discuss it, so any link to pirated software or any mention of obtaining software illegally should be removed.

[Humerox]

My bad. Wasn't aware of that. Noted.

[foxdragoon]

You can always download a backup for software you already own. I'm sure its not against the rules to discuss backups, in case your discs are not working properly.

Backups.

Been reading about p99 and of course am in love with the 'idea'... not sure if I'll be in love with the gameplay. So much of the original game and the memories I have are because of the people.

That's really what I'm looking for. I've had far better gameplay experiences elsewhere, notably in WoW, but the social experiences are all pre-Kunark EQ. There's something about a completely abusive world that brings people together.

The $10 out of the bargain bin that the game will cost you is worth it for the (at least) two evenings of nostalgia you'll get out of the game.

Most people are in the 30s/40s that I've seen. Lots of guk/solb/sk action. A few oasis groups float around as well, and there's more than a handful of 1-10 players on at any given time. The difficult part now is remembering that (unlike WoW) waving to random people or asking someone to group up is not a bad thing.

Well had a decent first night. Rolled a Human/Enchanter and just dinged 4. Trying to find spells and remember my way around.

Frankly really looking forward to an orc camp.

Yeah Bannen, welcome to the server. I really think you will enjoy it. It's by far the closest thing to Everquest in 1999 has ever and will ever come to. I think I speak for most people on the server ( a lot of people don't log off to check forums) when I say how amazing it is and that you will love almost every second, except for the times you die, which will happen very often until you get a good feel for the game again.

If you are looking for a fun family based guild that helps each other out and enjoys leveling together, check out Gothic Circle. You can send a tell to one of the members or Me (Pikler in game). Also check out the website at www.guildclan.com if you get bored enough [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Awesome playing an enchanter, can never have too many of those around [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Pfft. All the awesome people die five times when they're still level 3!

Heya again Bannen.
Just started playing for the first time when the servers came back up myself and having a blast. Got my Dwarf Paladin to level 5 and he is chugging along. I made the Bard mail delivery run from Kaladim to Kelethin (brought back TONS of memories) and managed to get a random run-by group invite for Orc hill and Crushbone. WOOO!

It was the first time I had been in a group in EQ since 2000 and I had a moment of panic when one member said "Great, Thurg is the main now!"... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It was a blast...

Look me up if you need a partner some time in game.
