Myself and 5 IRL buddies just joined. We have grinded our asses off in the 10 days we've been playing trying to get to the level to camp guise/MS. Unfortunately none of us were aware of the p99 red on launch, so we're basically fucked by hate coming out this friday. Could be a make/break situation.

What you saw is bored mains rolling up alts because they got tired of farming frenzy for the 5th month straight.

This is a classic red EQ server, no need to make it unclassic in a very very vain attempt to "bring in new people". People will only come here because its classic 1999 style red EQ, no other reason... Not YellowText, not global /ooc troll channel, not max level in a week xp.

Keep it Classic.

no, if people rolled alts how would there be more people?? if a level 50 /camps and creates a new character the pop would go from 100 to 100. you make no sense.

and yeah sure bro.. classic is obviously going so well for this server...

I agree with you to some extent, I prefer 'keeping it classic', but not everybody agrees, and it wouldn't kill my experience if there was OOC and YT and xp bonus(this is already in, I disagree with it but I can't disagree with the effects)

Also, I hope the new people I've encountered weren't bored mains rolling up alts, because if they were dying to level 1 monsters and asking for help that would be very embarrassing.

Just because YOU got bored farming frenzy for the 5th month straight, Arzak, does not mean that new players are all bored alts. Log on sometimes outside of raid times and check out the newbie zones. Especially in prime time(yes, I know it's raid time then, but if you can squeeze in a trip before or after your raid). Throw some newbies some Valor buffs etc. It's a blast.

any clickie helps bro!

and i meant mask/ms more in turn to casters (cleric, ench, druid, shaman~, wiz, etc)
Mask is a must for ogres/trolls and sometimes barbarians are too big in some dungeons (but not many)

The appeal of classic EQ is that progression is meaningful, the very reason most oldschool EQ fans find nothing appealing about new games.

classic is the only reason for this servers existance... its only purpose.

People need to stop trying to change that fact.
