The main topic has never been strayed from. Nobody can be sure what the best strategy will be, or what class they would enjoy most, until the ruleset is known. Like if the classic pet attack delay feature will be in, with mage pets classically not being able to wield weapons during this era. If that's the case, then Necromancer will be the farming class of choice. Etc etc, for countless aspects of what's actually classic vs. what might be implemented.

Necromancers could charm for the first few months after release. Yes, charm anything. Zixx in splitpaw was a Necro and he would charm players and slaughter whole groups, that's why he was so deadly. They were the God class.

If necros are truly classic there will be little reason to level anything else. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Unless you like a challenge. I think I'm going to try wizard.

Zuranthium, you're now in the company of the likes of: glenzig, Lune, Valakut, Jingleson, Skarlorn, Lron, and Systolic. Yay for you! Now take your trolling back to RnF.

Back on topic: about the necromancer, Knowing nilbog (not personally) that won't be a thing. Bard is the only class I haven't played. Pretty sure I'm going that way. Good for sporadic play times. Got an hour? Go do a swarm. Log off.

Not so sure about that, what with the 40% xp penalty.

Not a lot of good swarming areas until kunark, either. Can't really think of anything past the karana's in classic.

Yea, I scoured the guides for classic spots. Not much in them for it. Have to get creative.

They've always implemented timeline-specific things, even when it meant changing it shortly after (such as binding at the pots for Kunark launch, or the alliance necklaces at Velious launch). If they don't include ALL of the original era specifics, then it's breaking cadence with what they've always done, and going against their stated manifesto. Unless green server is not intended to be a classic-timeline replica; which seems highly unlikely at this point.

I think Paineel was always there (unless Erudite Necromancers started in Erudin at launch?)

Paineel wasn't in the game until 11 months after launch. Evil Erudites started down at the bottom of Toxxulia Forrest with nothing but a few skill trainers and vendors. That was by far the hardest starting place in the game.

well its classic to all you guy's standards but to mine, its an abomination :P

Paineel the city is pretty cool, but the newbie area they added is dumb. Can tell they just threw it in to give low level Erudites a more viable place to level up.

Will be trying a Shaman for the first time (decided on ogre for Frontal Stun Immunity). Anybody got some good tips for getting out of those crappy early levels asap? Bone chips? other things?

Paging experienced Ogre players! The wiki needs a http://wiki.project1999.com/Oggok_Starting_Guide (like the existing http://wiki.project1999.com/Halas_Starting_Guide and http://wiki.project1999.com/Kelethin_Starting_Guide).
