P99 green launch permanently killed my enthusiasm for everquest

Bummer. I'm currently on a TLP and it's hot garbage. Feels like I'm playing WoW. I'm considering coming back to p99 and rolling necro for the simple fact that I enjoy the solitary leveling of killing guards and such if I want to. Based on what I am reading in this thread, a lot of people started with necros and druids to farm plat to fun their eventual mains? Has that subsided at all since launch?

Yes

First I’ll /who friends and check what the boys are up to, see if I can get the homie hook-up.

If that doesn’t pan out I’ll go to where I want to explore and check the camps I want. If no ones there I’ll /who and see if there’s anyone in zone my level and /tell them. If no ones there I’ll try to solo- if it doesn’t work out I /who all <my level> and send tells to see if they have room.

I almost always find atleast someone to duo with in the first 10-15. I find more duos then groups but honestly: any caster(besides cleric unless undead)+wizard duo is better exp then groups anyway.

Im sure two mages are probably better exp then wizard/mage but I honestly feel like mages would rather duo with a wizard instead of another mage.

Really stoked for quadding with Druids and Bards.

Honestly, I had a blast from launch until the summer or so. Those last 3-6 months of classic were painful.

This is all I do, and I like it. I don't understand most of OP's complaints, like:

Everyone a solo class? I play a cleric, man. The only time I was soloing was in Unrest or Kithicor at night, and it wasn't exactly fast or easy. Lists are annoying but necessary. Of course the most rewarding zones are competitive.

The forced lighting on the server does suck, which causes some armor to look weird coloring. That aside, Green is still a solid server. Most (mainly non hardcore and semi hardcore raiders) enjoy the adventure. Yes there are things that I truly hate on the server bc they claim to want 2 be classic as can be,(aka Necros nerf'd bc they couldnt nerf a simple earring, and Dragons windows which is silly as can be) You just have to know that its a server ran by a few peeps. And they will do with what they want.

But, the game is still fun, and I love logging on and going hey guys what are we doing today. Could be leveling in hole, Leveling baby toons, PLing someone, Rushing off to Kith to hlep finish epic, or CoM. Theres tons and tons to do, and glad my guild gets to do those things[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Mandatory Enchanters with charm pets in Hole groups.

I had a similar experience with Classic WoW.

Very few secrets left. Everything felt like a race to the finish line and I eventually quit because I realized that even if I was in a top guild with top gear I... wasn't having fun. It was a chore because every other nerd knew what I knew and it was simply a matter of time = progress and whoever had the most time was king.

My friends who still play Classic WoW all played casually. They now have much better gear than I ever had because they unlike me had fun and therefore kept playing.

With green I never had this problem. I didn't play green to be the best. I play casually and in my own pace. Liking it still, just wish I had picked a better class xD

green attracted too many TLP players
