P1999 Questions

[crisk192]

I checked my eqhost file and it's what it should be so I'm not exactly sure why the server's not showing up.

EDIT: They just popped up. There must have been a server restart or something.

Server is down at the moment. Its allmost never offline. Will be back shortly.


edit : server actually up now

Welcome to Project1999!

Try not to let the graphic ruin anything. A lot of the players here played this back in 1999-2001 and the graphics then were state of the art.

The game is not awesome because of the graphics. Its awesome because os the sheer deepth the games goes. The "new" everquest has been babied up. Plane of Knowledge and the portal books makes travel easy.

P99 is great because you still have the sense of danger everywhere. When you have to run from city to city, and camp for gear instead of buying it in a bazaar....

If you stick it out, you will love it!

Trust me, I wouldn't ever refuse to play a game because of it's graphics. I'm more gameplay > graphics I just didn't watch many videos before trying out the game so I wasn't sure what to expect.

EDIT: I'm not sure if this is the game for me. It's pretty confusing and I can't seem to figure out what to do at the start out. The main part that is confusing is the combat. I'm not sure what my songs do or why sometimes my character doesn't attack at all when I'm being hit. I also died and lost all of my items, which I already knew about, but couldn't figure out where my body was so I lost my only weapon.

Me and a buddy started out on the test server...as woodelves. After a week or so of getting lost for hours in the forest and losing multiple corpses I had the bright idea that we should run to odus. No idea why. It was a epic journey...took us all day to run there. And getting through kithkor and hhk as lvl ~16 elves was a miracle.

Great memories from EQ

Are you playing here with your friend that told you about this server? I'm sure he could show you the ropes in-game a little bit. if not you can always ask someone in game or here in the forums with any questions. your character does'nt auto attack when being hit, you have to manually hit your auto attack button by the way

You picked imo the hardest class to play. Followed by enchanter and shaman. Not only difficult to play well..but somewhat gear dependant unless you aoe kite which is a skill all on its own.

I would suggest a mage or necro for your first toon. Easy to master...very powerful solo...and can farm gear for your bard down the road once you have a handle on it. And best of all..you can do all that naked...and who doesnt want to run around with no clothes on?

No he doesn't play I was just asking him for a list of some good MMOs and he mentioned that he used to play this server. He's not necessarily a friend either. He's just someone I was talking to briefly in another game.
