Class sub-forums..

bump please.........

Add this. It probably wouldnt take forever to include a forum section for Tank(Warrior, SK, Pal), Preist(Druid, Shaman, Cleric), DPS(Monk, Rogue, Bard?, Ranger), Caster (Nec, Mage, Enc, Wiz)

And Idk where you would put bard on that list. they are such a jack of all trades its kinda weird.

Not only is finding some of the old information hard to do, but you can't even be sure its right. Check out this casters realm SK creation guide:

Shadow Knights need to balance the difficulty of good melee ability with a reasonable mana pool. With this in mind here are our suggested bonus point spendings:

* Dark Elves: Add 10 Strength and 10 Dexterity.
* Erudites: Add 10 Strength 5 Agility and 5 Dexterity.
* Humans: Add 5 Strength, 5 Agility, 5 Dexterity and 5 Intelligence.
* Iksars: Add 10 Strength, 5 Dexterity and 5 Intelligence.
* Ogre: Add 8 Intelligence, 7 Dexterity and 5 Agility
* Trolls: Add 15 Intelligence and 5 Dexterity.

Int? Hell yes!
Stamina? Eff that!

Funny thing is, when I was looking for this guide, I first tried the forum search function because I know I've seen it posted here before, but I couldn't find it. I did however get super-relevant results like:

- "9/11, an inside job?" (10th result)
- "Sticky: Running EQ under LINUX" (7th result)
- "A discussion on restoring EQ's music once and for all" (3rd result)

I ended up going through the wayback machine to find this guide instead, which took about 1 minute per page load. Not exactly quick and easy.

As for the wiki, yes, it would be great if that were updated. However I for one will probably never update it, whereas I'd happily check into the shaman forum on a daily basis to answer questions. I'm not trying to come off as anti-wiki, but I get a lot more satisfaction from directly answering people's questions than I would from posting a guide that maybe no one even reads. Maybe that's just me.

Just want to point out again the P99 wiki:

http://moestaverne.com/p1999wiki/index.php/Main_Page

Now some people may prefer a forum over a wiki in terms of the dialogue and back and forth. But I don't think anyone can argue that finding organized and useful information is a task better suited to a wiki. It's up to the community to make the wiki more relevant by culling information from discussions on certain topics when they pop on the boards.

This is another reason class sub forums could be helpful. Those folks who wanted to dedicate the time to update the wiki would have a great resource at their fingertips. They could spend less time searching, and more time writing.

I would love to see class forums.../vote

So I've been working on a site for project 1999 boss mobs. I always wanted to do this site back when I played EQ classic, but didn't have the know how. I did back then host a forum called realpoor.com for the server Tarew Marr. I was actually addem who came up with eq.realpoor.com which was the classic loot list which was clean, but hard to update. Anyways I've spent a week adding the loot list and some research recipes, and figured I would update information every day and it would grow to something useful.

The website is http://www.pro1999.com
The forum is http://forum.pro1999.com

I also setup a few forwards to get to other very useful resources for project 1999.
Auction tracker is http://auction.pro1999.com
Wiki is http://wiki.pro1999.com

I just quickly added the forum up there today, I haven't customized it too much, but will be doing that within the next few days. Let me know if you like the idea, if not i'll take it down and focus on information.
