tbh we just hunkered down in the front courtyard and had the monk pull from the maze. it was nice having the zone line right there (even tho we only needed to use it a couple times)

still, its possible to do alright in there at that level range with the right tactics *shrugs*

maybe not worth it in a min/max sense, but its possible to do.

man, i spent so many hours in that spot during live, unfortunately ive only been able to xp in CT a few times on p99 only one of which did i actually get anything accomplished most ended in wipe. now, i just go there to farm, and as a lvl 60 rogue its still kinda challenging, not to the point of dying, but learning where to pull mobs to avoid out of LOS healers is a must if you dont want to spend 10 minutes killing lvl 20 mobs

you should tour norrath on red99 theres a 75% permanent exp bonus so your leveling will go A LOT faster plus the server is growing daily with new players and groups! check us out

they should have a port class in the mix for sure since they want to explore and probably plan on dying here or there. that said, i'm biased towards druids. wiz/rog are both simple enough classes to learn for someone wanting something 'easy', and both have the same basic 'problem' in groups, dont out agro the tank. imo if your bard is good and your druid only heals, you'll level up just fine. as you get regen spells, bard regen song, and manasong, itll get easier and easier. with c2 and slow on mobs i was easily healing LCY on my druid a while ago. you've got 5 ppl, so you can also find a 6th at higher levels (enc/shaman/clr) and have a killer group. just play what you like and you'll find a way to make it work

if all these guys didnt play on live during the era p99 is the group will not survive to lvl 12 and this conversation is moot.

You make a good point God. I would imagine a lot of "Noobs" have given up playing this game early on because even if you know what to do this can be one hard ass, frustrating game at times.

This is a good point - classic eq is hardmode, and people that aren't nostalgic for it may run out of patience for the slow leveling + other parts that we like but are not present in current MMOs.

[Malrubius]

Try to ignore the min/maxers, play what you want, and have a good time. You'll do fine - this ain't rocket science.

[godbox]

ya classic eq is definetly not rocket science its more like what I imagine being a railroad worker in the old west would be like.

And even if they're smart enough to ask for advice, they don't take it. I'm sure your experience will be different than literally every single other group that has tried this. lol
