Tseng has it right. When EQ went live the first year none of us knew anything beforehand. Alla and site like it didn't exist. Mobs location and drops were unknown for the most part as purposeful changes were made from the beta-to-live for just such reasons. If someone is coming here for 'ph4T l3wtz' have they ever missed the point...

haha so true, I love that its hard work.

When I joined the other day and got killed by a scarab loosing all my gear to my corpse I almost squueed with delight at the lack of handholding.

I remember alla yeah, tseng such a help when it got going.
I was more of a everlore user at the time, when that folded a lot of us landed on a new site slackers haven to stay in touch.
We all just heard about this project from a user on there and are pretty over the moon about the whole thing.

I wanted to ask a quick question if I may, before I got round to it I wanted to add some context to why I am asking.

I am seeing and hearing from friends that a lot of people joining the server or logging on are being handed literally 100's of PP.
Understanding the awesome mission of project 99 this confuses me, I was given the impression the server was about a year old.
Having played EQ1 from launch I can testify that people didnt have 100's of plat to throw around willy nilly in game as it was damn hard working getting it in the first place.

If this is as it seems a pure classic EQ which is awesome and seems really friendly it confuses me how people are able to afford to do things like hand 100 plat to my friend who just joined (someone he doesnt know at all) and I see other tales of this kind on the forum.

Either to me this indicates that a level of hacking is going on or people are being given large amounts by friends with the ability to auto generate the items, money needed in a GM capacity.

I really do hope neither is true but cant see otherwise how the economy is in such a mess after a year that its so easy to get money.

Thanks for any replys and just to clarify before people start replying I am not having a go just trying as a classic launch player to understand what is going on and how its happening.

First you hurped...

Then you DERPED!!!!

It's not hard to make 100p. It's not hard to make 1k plat. People aren't as clueless in regards to making money and farming as they were back in live. Hence, it's very easy for someone now to know demand of an item. OR the best spot to farm pure plat.

^^ This.
