Yeah I mean, that's not to say that having high resistances doesn't make you more 'powerful' in a survivability sense, but that's only really viable in the end game encounters themselves.

To me, I think of doing say a seb group in a 55 warrior with BoE gear from leveling up and a 60 warrior in full VP Gear... there will be a much higher difference in power level.

You should ultimately play what you want to play and play something that fits your style of play. The fun, for me, is 100% leveling up and meeting new people. Once I get to 60 I immediately lose interest in my character.

The end game is not as fun as leveling up. If you aren't enjoying leveling up, you will not enjoy the end game IMO. Have fun leveling up, meeting folks, helping people out, etc…that is what the game should be all about.

To each their own.

OP, right now the "end game" is split into, say, 3 factions.

Your hard core raiders (AKA - Class C) - 4 AM batphones, hours of tracking, and required to be ready a moments notice, these are Project 1999's most dedicated raiders. They put hours of time into planning, strategy, and execution, all to get the biggest mobs with the best pixels as often as possible. Because of the way our Classic/Kunark raid content is structured, Class C guilds generally end up getting many more mobs than their Class R counterparts, but sacrifice time, energy, and socks to do so.

Your casual raiders (AKA - Class R) - The majority of raiders fall into this category. Set within their own player managed rotation, Class R enjoys the fight itself as opposed to the challenge of beating your opposition to the punch. With a large window to fight your assigned target, you have plenty of time to set up, get your guild ready, and fight the mob on your terms. Less time and energy, but less targets to go around. Most people fall here simply on the merit that they don't have the time or the desire to go all out P99 like Class C does.

Your non-raiders (AKA - Everyone else, tunnel rats, item farmers) - Content to amass a platinum empire, or simply farm shiny tradeable's with their friends, these players don't care much for the raid scene and aren't concerned with seeing the biggest baddies with the best loot. Many, many people fall into this category - truth be told, there are likely as many or more of these kinds of players than there are raiders. Whether gearing up an alt or just hanging out with friends, this is a popular choice here on Project 1999.


All of these have their own ups and downs, their own disputes, and their own social circles. Everyone is greatly encouraged to work together when problems arise, and generally speaking this happens most of the time. Whatever path you choose, remember that the only way to lose at Everquest is to not have fun and enjoy what you're doing - beyond that, it's up to you to decide who you want your ever quest to play out (yes, that just happened. Cheese level at maximum, call green grocer).

Hope that helps, welcome (back) to the server, and enjoy!

There's RP. Greengrocer, Borf, and Juntsie are three names that immediately come to mind as really huge roleplay gods on this server. Greengrocer is a world-travelling meat vendor collecting rare and exotic cuisine from all across the globe and selling it out of EC, Juntsie is a troll lawyer mediating end-game conflicts, the defense of the accused in GM stings, and the like, and Borf is the leader of <Clan Borf>, the best class C guild under 10 people on the server (not actually a class C guild, but we roleplay them as one because they assisted in a class C kill one time and it's fun to take things as far as they'll go). He is a tremendously powerful shaman and a force to be reckoned with, but recently there's been some discussion over his leadership of Clan Borf, as the guild charter dictates any who defeat the guild master in single combat are granted lordship over the clan, and Borf was recently defeated by Filbus Furyfoot, the famed halfling warrior and slaughterer of everything that moves, but Filbus declined leadership of Clan Borf. I believe some discussion was had over Filbus assuming a council position in the guild through a proxy. I don't know if it was ever resolved.

<Harbingers of Thule> is an iksar-only RP guild dedicated to the destruction of Norrath. They do a lot of standing in front of things hissing at people. They have a guild website at www.harbingersofthule.com .

Filbus and I write roleplay stories that we share here on the boards. I'll go ahead and link them below if you want to read them.


More roleplayers are definitely needed on the server and on the forum; if you choose to go that route definitely keep in touch.

if only someone would start a <Roleplay Guild> where everyone you met was some lost son of mistmore, or a cyborsex hunting woodelf, or a long lost king of kings.

So much fun now that the staff regulates the raid scene

ie You can engage talendor once every other tuesday during a full moon with a rogue if he/she was camped out in antonica in advance

Love it. Especially the Harbingers. If they are still around I will need to pay them a visit.
