I think I've settled on Animist so if you want to jot me down for that I think I'll lock that in. Super tempted to roll a Chanter first for powerlevelling but fuck it, they're so boring.

Cool, either one of those classes will make leveling a breeze. I'll most likely go with a Mentalist to backup the group with heals and mana, or maybe a 2nd Animist! I think last time Uthgard was still running, the shroom pet cap per any one area was at 15, which is still way more than we can make between 2 lowbie/ungeared Animists.

How long is beta set to last??

Not sure if I am going to go Midgard or Hibernia. Never played Hibernia and don't know jack about their classes, what's a decent melee in that realm? I did fuck around with a Ranger for like 10 levels but that was about it

There is no set date, they intend on running the beta as long as needed to iron out any left over bugs. It's like Backman_66 said earlier, the faster players report bugs, the faster beta will be over with. My personal estimation is about 4 months, but knowing the way they did things on that server in the past, it could take up to a year...so we may as well put a P99 group/guild together and get this show on the road!

Check out my last post on page 9 of this thread, for links to class description sites or you can just check the one in my sig. The char builder can show you every single spell and melee ability for all 3 realms, good for planning ahead some.

Tell me which classes you normally enjoy in EQ, and I may be able to suggest something proper like, this goes for everyone!

...and come on IRC guys, it's much easier to talk all this over via a live chat room, it's all text based if you haven't used it before. I'm on there right now with some fella named crith, anyone know who that is on the forum?
