Velious helped a lot. However, I think it's evident that there's just too many top level people with top end gear able to take down Velious mobs with ease. When Velious was released in classic, you didn't just roll up with Vindi and throw numbers at him. The gear just wasn't there. Not many people had PoSky on farm except for the best of the best. But on P99, farming Sky was done by a multitude of guilds and not just the extreme poopsock neckbearders, either. Is P99 a bad server? Nope! I enjoy my time on this server as I feel I've found a guild that kicks ass and fits what I want to put into it. Am I pretty bummed that Velious is "it"? Yea, and it's definitely something I need to think about. Do I really want to play Velious for 4 years? I think a lot of us felt EQ was at its best at Planes of Power. This was where there was just an absolute abundance of content, raid mobs, etc, that not everything under the sun was downed within minutes. Guilds could grow in strength and build towards bigger mobs. Currently, there's really nothing to "build" towards. Everyone has gear capable to take down NToV, the issue is numbers and experience, not gear. Shrug, whether you disagree or not, that's just my feeling on it. P99 is great but I definitely don't see myself playing Velious for years.

An encouragement:
Started with nothing and basically crawled through levels 1-20 feeling like the server might be too established for me. The first time I went to EC I figured I would quit. Then I saw greengrocer (rip) asking for pixie dust and started farming them. If you're a new player, there are high levels that pay a stupid amount of money for things that take little or no time to farm while leveling. You just have to be smart about where you hunt. Kill animals for HQ pelts, get bone chips, and always group with twinks (they make things go faster and pass on all the loot [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. The server sucks to start on, I agree... but once you pass that initial learning curve, it's so stinking easy to make money. There are also tons of awesome people on the server that will help you out. As far as the economy goes, with Velious just released the economy is more insane than ever. I've sold armor gems for over 1k to people that HAD TO HAVE THEM and then had other players offer to pay 250 for the same gem on the same day. Things are crazy now because the server just unleashed new content that's drastically changed the game. Give it a few months and things will even out. | ||

OP should just stop playing on the server if he or she is that butt hurt about joining this late in the server's life. I've been on here for a while (I think 5 years), and none of my characters are "geared to the teeth." I'm also more of a casual player. I have my binges every few months for when I really want to achieve something. But to have sand in the snatch because other people have played on server longer (or have been devoted more time to playing on the server since they started) than you is not reason enough to be calling for a server wipe. It is, however, reason enough to stop being fail on the internet.

Wealth gap complaints are way overdone on this forum. Isn't hard to accumulate pp & gear if you're patient and persistent. If you want high-end gear you're gonna have to level and join a guild that raids high-end content, which is how EQ always was. No WoW-esque gear resets or latter-day EQ gear handouts (loldefiant) here. Casual play can still get decent gear, takes time just like any other approach.

You joined P99 this month, and here you are typing a review of our server.
Think on that. Also remind me how it affects new players that the top-end people have good gear? In what way does that affect your elf sim experience? If you're thinking "why bother, I can't even get Vulak loot" when you go to click PLAY... you really need to consider that P99 is not your personal nostalgia stomping ground.

People make druids as their first character and timesink many hours making plat from ports to actually hit "day 1" and start the character they want. Nobody said EQ was easy, but I think the "jump" rate if anything else opened up this weekend would be very high indeed from new and old players alike.

If anything, it's EASIER to gear on P99 than it was on classic.

If you want to play a class such as a warrior, you'll be mocked and hounded out of the door if you're holding a rusty sword and wearing raw hide armor at level 15 (unless you're on red where everyone is welcome and in the same boat)
Most players see the level of twinking going on (by "me, you and the other neckbeards") with other players alts and feel it's only right to gear accordingly... I mean who is going to group with Soandso on his warrior if aggro is spraying around the group like a catherine wheel? Rogue with epic at Level 1.... oh shit, he's got aggro all the time! Monk with FBSS/Sash of the dragonborn... oh shit. Bard with hymn of restoration running.... oh shit. We have more impact on new players starting than you think.
