I wouldnt play without these commands...

/hidecorpse looted
/hidecorpse all
/hidecorpse off
/clear

I love this command, but apparently not everyone knows about it:

"why are you looting everything"

"so everybodys' screens aren't full of corpses"

"don't worry, they can /hidecorpses"

"its okay" *continues to loot whore* [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Someone should add:

On the character select screen, don't try to create:
Gnome Shadowknight
Halfling Paladin
Halfling Ranger

why no gnome shadowknight?

It's been over 5 years, but I think I may start up on P99 again. In my senility I must read my own guide to get my bearings!

Kudos to everyone who has offered corrections and suggestions in the comments. I was never an elite player and always found more to learn, so I'm certain there is much room for improvement. I may update it some in the future as I get my sea legs.

Thanks again for the contributions and feedback! I hope this thread may have helped some folks over the years.

I just started with a Dwarf Paladin but there is no note, no nothing. How do I eat, fight, where do I go? I'm lost and have no one to tell me what to do.

Awesome information. Just wanted to point out that you left the shaman's XP modifier out from the class section!

Also, I'd love to see a section on Etiquette covering Link Dead players, as them suddenly dropping group during combat may confuse some new players.

Most of the links are bad in the OP. All of the wiki ones reference .org instead of .com
