I bet you're the kind of person who shuts off a movie or walks out of a theater if the first 20 minutes aren't perfect for your specific tastes.

What Hailto said to a T.

This is really not true at all, the majority of people on this server are friendly and helpful. As in real life the majority of people are friendly, being a douchebag is not the norm. Keep in mind this guy has apparently not leveled past mid 20s so take his advice for what you will.

Give it a try. Can only recommend it - got back myself in March after a long break for SWTOR and GW2. Play whatever you like, look for any <Europa> player if you need some help.

PS: I don't judge other people's opinion normally, but I think in this case I will have to. @Davardo: Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I whole-heartedly disagree with your statements. I know many people who really enjoy all aspects of P99.

I come back to see if it changed every so often, and it never does. The forum always has had people saying that this server has a good community, when in fact it does not.

You might think that I am the odd man out because I am the asshole so no one helps me, but this isn't so. I give away items that are worth less than 100p, go out of my way to buff others, and try to promote a good community.

It's just a matter of people lying through their teeth to add new blood to the server.

You blame the community for you not being able to make it out of the 20s? If you not being able to make it out of the 20s is what makes the community suck here, then there should be no worries for the OP. I've never heard anyone in any mmo EVER say that the reason they can't level is because the community forces them to reroll.

I've been on and off since 2010 and have had only one sour experience on the server, that I felt was intentionally bad. There is the occasional level 60 raid geared player who will tip like 3pp for you to pick them up in the middle of no where, and you will maybe get trained from time to time... but thats to be expected.

Are you looking for offers of free powerleveling? I don't get what the issue is. It's not hard to find groups in your 20s...

The highend community is pretty horrid, if you want to raid I would suggest playing on eqmac, if not this server should be good enough.

Thank you all for your responses.

It is a bummer that monks are overplayed. Might there be suggestions for other classes that are needed, can solo relatively well on odd times and have a chance, albeit slim, of getting their epic? I do not mind playing any role, I have fun from healing to tanking to pew pew.

I think once I obtain a copy of titanium somehow today, I will install the game and try to get up and running.

This lovely server requires EQ:Titanium Edition. You should look around for it.

Unequivocally, This Online Remerged Rendition of Everquest, Necessitates The

Yaaarr.... I live to dress as a PIRATE in order to keep the evil spirits at BAY. I also enjoy eatting ORGanic applesauce for lunch.

If you SEARCH FOR EVERQUEST TITANIUM long enough you will find it.

Playing classic Everquest
is
really
amazing, however
there is definately some setup involved.
eventually, though, you'll
be running
around antonica
yelling "That's my mob! Ihad the first
dot
on it! and
raging about killsteals and
ganking.

Just as in live the main classes are Warrior, Cleric, Enchanter, Shaman, Monk, Rogue, (bard) with Pal, Sk, Ranger, Wiz, Mage all to some extent falling outside the 'ideal' group comp (not to say they are not needed!) and then tons of necro/druids running around soloing.

That said, there may be a lot of monks and rogues but guilds also need monks and rogues as they are 2 of the primary dps classes. They also benefit from being able to actually complete their epics without forking out 350k+ to buy dragon loot making it easier to reach your DPS potential.

We have a running joke in our guild that within a week of getting a monk their epic you never see them online again unless you are raiding fear. One day we will have 5 monks show up for a raid, the next day we have 1. I would rather have 5 monks than 1 any day of the week because it is not like extra monks do not add value. Classes like shaman on the other hand you only really need a few, having 1 is needed, 2 makes it easier to buff, 5 means 2 are buffing while 3 are afk.
