Complaining isn't going to change anything. I highly doubt any one who wants the authentic EverQuest experience would advocate for a change to the death mechanics. I prefer to lose my stuff when I die. It makes me think about every encounter before I engage. It's Risk vs Reward. If there is no risk where is the reward?

Have you ever played Diablo (Original) or Diablo 2? Same mechanic. Die, spawn corpse at death point, corpse has your inventory/equipment. Both are great games.

Not all, but most new games have no risk therefore there is little to no reward to the experience; in my opinion.

In Guild Wars 2 you don't lose anything on death. I prefer it that way... But imo all MMOs suck except P99.

Rather confused. Not sure whether or not you are being genuine here. But Guild Wars 2 was released 13 years after EverQuest. World Of Warcraft came out 5 years after EverQuest launched. Sounds like you may be interested in playing World of Warcraft from the sound of it. WoW was inspired by EverQuest and has those "Quality of Life Improvements" you are looking fore.

The server is dead too. That kinda makes it hard

Dumb comment, as it's just an opinion

I play with close friends, guildies, and rando's quite a bit.
I see 400-700 people on at a time, and that's all you need.

Level 5 is nothing, you don't even have any sense of the game at level 5 - or even how large (space) this game really is.

But if it's too hardcore for you, then it is. No shame in just bowing out because you're unable to get into it.

If you decide to stick around then get involved with the community and ask questions, join a guild, read the wiki, post constructive forum conversations, don't just seek validation in not having fun <3

I played Guild Wars 2 for a longer period of time and a little bit of Old School RuneScape. I think they're terrible compared to P99. P99 is good but difficult to get into. I am occupied with Battlefield 6 right now but if that ever gets boring I'll come back to my level 4 Iksar Necromancer.

Hello I made a first character Iksar Necromancer who is currently level 5. I'm in Field of Bone and is it true that I only need to farm Bone Chips from skeletons to level up? I tried submitting the curscales for the quest but you only get a single bag for those and you have to run back and forth to the Cabilis East NPC for the curscale armor quest, so I dropped this quest and only focus on getting bone chips from skeletons so I can submit them in Field of Bone to that NPC at the entrance. I think that is faster.

I have 3 bags (8 slots each) and I'm just running around killing skeletons for Bone Chips. I mean what else can I do, all the other enemies are either yellow or red so I can't kill them. I only have Minor Shielding and Lifetap. Is there something I am doing wrong when playing this game? Is it so boring because I'm playing alone? What do I need to do to have fun and enjoy this game. I was told Necromancer as Iksar is one of the easiest race/class combos especially for pure soloing.

I'm on the Green Server and I know how to use Sense Heading and I also leveled up Meditate (put 1 point in). That's about the only things I did here. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong playing this game? I really don't like how when you die you have to get your corpse inventory back and the slow nature of this game.

Im late and you are probably far beyong lvl 5 by now but the lake of ill omen newbie area is a good place to level up a low lvl necro about lvl 8, then you could go back to the pit in fob, or even try your luck in kurns just killing the scalebones as they would be blue/even con ish to you and you can just fear and dot them. Dont even need a pet.

As to why you are not having fun, that is due to the server feeling empty. An MMO with a low population is bad and honestly this server is stagnant and slowly dying.
