What P99 really needs is more people figuring out that you can camp most things solo as a 60 shaman - and leveling up only to make the most of the economy side of the game, sitting on heiro for 12 hours a day [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I am unabashed in my love of tunnelquest. When I was a wee lad I looted gnome guards from a necro that was killing them in steamfont to sell off the FS weps / shields. I saved up enough for a Staff of the OBbservers.

I was taken to the EC bazaar and found someone selling it. I bought it, and enamored by the bazaar, I sat around looking at all the awesome loot I didn't know existed. I then saw someone WTB A Staff of the Observerse for 200pp more than I had paid!

When I sold the staff I just couldn't believe I had made 200pp in less than an hour - i was rich!

When I quit EQ for the first time I was level 34 as my max character, and had over 4 million plat in my bank. It was my first love in a game, and it actually taught me a metric shitton about the real world economy. I used what I learned there throughout my life and view that experience as invaluable.

Today I just use high-margin markets to make money on p99 and in a rather casual manner - log on for 30 minutes - 1 hr to do some selling. It is therapeutic to sit under T1 and just bask in the flow of auctions, looking for items I need or finding someone who WTB what I'm offering. I infinitely prefer it to Bejeweled or some shit I don't care about, which is all I could do in an hour anyways.

Long Live Tunnelquest.
