Yeah I was highly considering Bard. One of my favorite classes to play. Thanks for the heads up. I will definitely want to raid high-end (once I get there).

Well Warrior and Bard both have very vital roles in raiding. SK not so much, it's more of fun utility type class that has limited raiding capabilities but is amazing for grouping scenarios.

I would recommend that you try out Bard first just because it doesn't require nearly any gear or platinum to be useful and can level really fast solo if you choose to swam kite.

They can also make lots of platinum by farming alone. Just make sure you group from time to time and get the hang of twisting a couple songs as there is no /harmony on this server.

Don't be that Bard applying to a raid guild at level 51 who has only grouped 3 hours in his entire lifetime haha.

Don't worry about the aspect of playing a Bard or twisting songs, I'm actually pretty good at twisting. I actually went level 1-40 on EQ-Live manually twisting my songs, just for the fun of it :] Melody takes almost all the fun out of the Bard. Click Melody, auto-attack. Zzzzz.

If you have someone in your household you'd like to be able to play with you, just post for an ip exemption in the petition/exploit forum. Eunomia (a staff member here) is amazing about processing them very quickly. You should both be able to play together within a day or two.

Keep in mind we DO watch for 2boxing, and if you violate that policy your accounts will be subject to disciplinary action. I know this is a terrible way to steer a 'hey, welcome to the server!' thread, but I just want to put it out there so you are aware.

There is a "Project 1999 PnP - Server rules' thread at the top of this page - would be a good idea to at least skim through the first handful of points to get an idea of whats allowed and what isn't.

Welcome to the server!!

Also I stopped playing in 2007, but that is some of the most disgusting news I've seen yet since then.

LOL they are just giving away thousands of AA now. Why don't they just spawn you on creation with a fully leveled and geared player?

[myriverse]

Eh. It kinda of becomes the nature of the beast after so many times of one-upping the last expansion.

Eh most of you haven't played max level EQ Live in many years.

4k AAs isn't that fascinating. Considering max is often 10-15k depending on class. Still have to earn the most recent and useful AAs, as well as gear, augments, plat etc.

The autogrant of AAs is a necessary ploy to attract new players to the game. Try introducing someone to EQ live currently. Most just quit outright because of what you must do to become even remotely viable in the group game even in the 75-80s range.

The exp curve helped but it was still a huge mountain to climb before you could become a functioning member of a group.

Th swarm EXP nerf does suck though. That is a large part of what made the game fun. It will still be possible for certain classes, but they really just need to update their hardware to handle mass pulls.

Lol I kind of see where they are coming from with the process usage.. it's the same way here. However, they have the personnel at their disposal to optimize their pathing code, instead of blaming the players and nerfing a bunch of shit.

I'm pretty sure we have far more zones running per server than they do and bard AE kiting doesn't break a zone here (as far as I'm aware?).
