Interesting... fungi but wqs. I have a fungi as well but I have not played a twink with one yet.

I don't know, I feel like I would either go balls out on my next character or only spend 2k again like this one.

I love everquest, but as an adult, and a human being, and a gamer, I feel like its a better game with a fungi...

I also feel like its a better game with the XP bonus on red lol.

So i am the enemy :P

But the art is better than anything in the louvre.

But on red, where you just group and the XP flies, you can be naked to 60 and have the time of your life.

Sorry not trying to plug red, just talking about the variation of feels in this wild wild game..

I have no money and can't really twink past maybe 150pp (if that). Mostly I run around working on tradeskills or just have adventures with people I meet or on my own. Yesterday I ran my cleric across Antonica two and a half times, dodged that crazy sand giant in Oasis, beat up some orcs in HPH, and destroyed the frogloks' good opinion of me in Upper Guk while trying to collect some ground spawns. Trying to do the Armor of the Priest quest is hard on your own! I need to figure out how to get my enchanter alt to 34, or scrape up the cash to get someone else to enchant some platinum bars for me.

Racing to 60 just to be at 60 is kind of boring to me. I want to be high level because I can do more stuff (like...kill Ambassador DVinn on a whim, that bastard), but otherwise it doesn't matter to me. I've read guides suggesting I solo for 20 levels in Unrest. I don't want to be trapped in there for 20 levels by myself! Ugh! Have you seen that place? I bet it smells like old gym socks and roasted bug. (That's just my opinion.)

I'm here for the adventures, essentially. Not the ones defined by others, but the ones I can have spontaneously on my own.

plus bonus: the server ain't going anywhere. unlike in a commercial game, which is releasing content and pushing you along, you can take a break for a few months and just goof off, then come back, then take a break again, etc etc.

It's an underrated aspect of this server, that it is kind of "static". I think it makes it more of a sandbox that way. You can just take your time to do what you want. Stuff and people will still be here. It's like grandma's house, except grandma is permacamping the cookies.

an enchanter is such a good class for doing this stuff, you can get very good faction with nearly every quest giver and can solo almost anything, so you can really enjoy norrath with one.

I would be doing that right now if I didnt immediately roll a shaman, after finishing my enchanter. smh

My TWINK monk on LIVE had full set of silk armor and some 5/20 weapon with no stats. So, who is more uber in the game enjoyment department? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I am not sure that makes you the enemy. I am the OP so I will allow it =)

I dabbled on red trying to relieve the boredom. I played with the same rl friend and a different one. I got to lvl20 in an afternoon. The experience bonus is cool. However, without my rl friends playing, the task of starting over seems too daunting.

(My lvl20 shaman is naked and can't afford spells on red)

Ya, on live that would make you a twink in 99/2000ish

Kinda different here. You will literally be handed better if you tried that here

Side note...

here is a gif of OP helping me, after my first post on p99 forums to obtain a full set of level apropriate bronze armor, with my first character on the server.

One of my favorite nights of all time, and still my favorite armor class/set. Speaking of gear.

Asking people if you're playing a game correctly on the internet always goes well.
