New Patch Ruins EQ-Live, Switching to P1999!

[Millburn]

Best advice for starting Project 1999.

PLAY WHAT YOU WANT TO PLAY

Figure it out as you go, don't be put off by the struggle. That's ultimately what's fun about Classic EQ in my opinion. Take your time, gear up as you level and take the time to travel the world in-between xp sessions.

I agree with you on that Millburn, but to some extent, if I had NO support to help me through the lower levels, playing a tank could get frustrating. But I miss the old grind, taking hours upon hours to level. Hell I'll be honest, when I came back to EQ-Live 2 months ago, I literally dinged 1-40 in a single night. Skipped over all the classic stuff. It stinks. But with this new patch, hundreds even THOUSANDS of EQ vets will be quitting, and if they love the game enough, they will be brought to P1999!

You're under-estimating our population a bit I think. There's going to be plenty of people for you to group up with. You've been abused by live too much, you're home duder. Play what seems the most interesting to you, don't dote on the what-if's when it comes to that stuff.

Ahhh, there's no place like home. Awesome, I appreciate all the feedback. I do have ONE last question. As to having to have EverQuest: Titanium.. is that something I have to purchase from the olden days? Or is there a downloadable/buyable version? Sorry, I read the rules and stuff, I'm just a tad confused.

None of us can tell you directly here, but do a little search on the webs you would be surprised with what you find. There's also a helpful thread here on the forums that have ... pretty opaque clues littered in it for you to help find your way.

I don't swarm, mage beam, any of the AE xp, I don't get powerleveled, I never bought plat online. I am not quitting because of that. I am quitting because my Uncle (high end raider) and a HUGE amount of the high-enders are quitting. The AA Auto-Grant will just usher in a whole new group of people who don't know how to raid or group with their toons because they have never learned the AA, they are just granted. Plus my Uncle has played since 99 and all the work he put in to grinding AA, poof gone, now you can just log in, get a toon to 60-80 in a matter of a week, and you get 4k AA.

I don't see how any of this is of any concern to your uncle. I imagine most guilds still have application periods on live. And if they suck you don't accept them its as simple as that.

I know, I understand that part. But for my Uncle, it's mostly the time, money, and effort he put into getting those AA. ALL veterans of the long-term picture will be upset, just read the forums. What they spent 10+ years grinding the old hard ways, are now just being handed out like candy to the new people who spend $15 for a month of gold? If you don't see a problem with that, well let's not get off topic. I won't discuss live stuff here, if you want you can post on the EQ forum or message me.
