Did you require assistance getting started with Project 1999?

[Octave]

I recently tried to play P99 with my girlfriend (who plays other mmos like GW2 and TOR) and the process kind of highlighted how obtuse it was. The installation, forum account, eqemu account.

Then she finally gets to character creation where I explain that she cant be a catperson or a frogperson. And that annoying tutorial voice starts to play whenever she changes races. She's then thrown into a newbie town and forced to figure out how to get out. She chose an evil eurdite which means she was lost a good 15 minutes and had no idea that you had to ask the skeleton for a key. The client also crashed a few times in the process and the unhelpful tooltips/tutorial were showing up all the time.

In the end, it showed that the player base here is very accepting of bad user experience.

But then, that's old everquest. Those that play here know it's not going to be as easy as as playing a current mmo and theyre fine with that because they've already played old everquest.
