Hey all. Newcomer to P1999.

Experience Penalties

Remember that EXP. penalties multiply, not add, so an iksar shadow knight requires 68% more experience than baseline, not 60 (1.4 [SK penalty] x 1.2 [iksar penalty] = 1.68 or 168%). It also works the other way, like for Ogre Warriors, who require 3.5% more experience than baseline ( 0.9 [warrior bonus] x 1.15 [ogre penalty] = 1.035 or 103.5%).

As far as penalties, soloing, and whatever else goes...play what you want to play. This is a classic server with normal experience rates, so you are going to be looking at whatever character you pick for a long time. Don't pick it because its the best at end-game, it'll be a while before you get there. Pick the race, class, diety, and bonus stats that you want for the journey, because the journey -is- the destination.

And don't pick a race you'll hate like dwarf just for starting location, it's not a huge hassle to run somewhere and get a bind usually. Welcome to Project 1999!

BARREL ROLL! how could anyone hate that?

I'm going with Magician for my first toon. I'll just be cautious about my pet. I'm hoping that people will often ask me to conjure food/water/bandages for them.

Lv2, 20 plat, full cloth armor, cracked staff, greater lightstone. lol

The majority of your requests will be for summoned weapons because people need them for their pets.

Summoned thrown items for monks too, they ask for those fairly often.

That's fine too. It's at least nice to be able to help anyone willing to ask.
