Is it worth starting now?

The server has been at kunark for like 4 years so all but Best-In-Slot items are plentiful and fairly cheap. Plat is also very easy to make on this server due to the fact that there is so much of it. My best advice is for your first character either play a class that isn't gear dependant but is highly desirable in groups (cleric and enchanter are good choices), a class that can solo very well and farm plat (shaman, necro, druid, enchanter), or a class that can port (wizard, druid).

I just started back a week ago and can say that it is absolutely worth it. I missed the fear in MMO's it's too easy in today's games where you die and respawn at zone entrance with some slightly damaged gear or run as ghost back to your body.

I just hit level 8 and did the stein of Mogguk quest and was on the edge of my seat when it turned dark in Kith, or when I did the long run to Queynos from EC, all I kept think was man a CR at this point will just suck. I actually did die in the stupid pally pool, I got exhausted swimming to loot fish and couldn't swim out. Some members of the guild go team good guys resurrected me and saved me a really long naked run. It was amazing.

My interactions with people on this server have been awesome. People have donated gear, answered questions on information that I forgot a long time ago. I have had no issues finding Groups. There seems to be a very healthy population of low levels balanced between some twink alts and true newbies.

I am tooling around on my enchanter Tamilyn now and have even received some upgraded gear and paid it forward by handing previously donated gear to other newbies.



I have 3 more friends all returning the game as well now.

Forums are at least twice as hard as the actual game, and everyone knows there is never a good time to start planning EQ, it will make you suffer.

I have tried breaking my way into the server a few times, and the people have all been very kind. I will say that *FOR ME* a lot of the fun and excitement of trying that next camp, or working hard to take down a strong mob is kind of less when you have a level 10 rogue or cleric with epics. Maybe a bit of that is jealousy [You must be logged in to view images.

I think if enough people wanted to group up and play together without that uber gear, I would enjoy it a lot more.

After losing complete interest in the new TLP since there will practically be no rules, p99 is looking more and more and more appealing to try again. I just hope I can find untwinked players to enjoy it with.... or twink me too jk jk jk.

Well my best time playing was in a group with 1 member each from guilds that didn't like each other... there was a jerk that trained us and tried to take our camp. You'd have thought we were all life long buddies.

Those people exist at the end game... do it can't be all that bad.

I started in december last year and I have never had any problems getting a group or finding a good solo spot.
