Nearly 15 years of gaming, and I'm back where I started????? AHHHH!
No, seriously, think about it! EQ was probably a lot of our first games. For me, it was my 2nd, Ultima Online sort of absorbed my life completely around the same time. My brother and I went to EQ after tram was released on UO. We figured if they were going to turn it into a PVE game, go to a better PVE game. I was 10 or 11 years old? I don't remember anything other than getting lost a lot.
I've played just about every major title released since that time. I've had fun here and there, but games seem to of gone in a different direction since the days of EQ. I'm not even entirely sure whats different about them, but its something. The fact that I can get on a game as old as EQ and have more fun is odd to me since most of these new titles have a lot of the same properties of EQ. But, then again, something is just different... ANYWHO!!! I'm starting fresh on Project 1999 and I'm completely lost (ONCE AGAIN). Any tips of a good starting character? I've been hearing a lot of people say that some of these classes are gear dependent. Is there a certain class I should stay away from as a fresh start guy? Any good guides out there on starting stats and such? THANKS!! | ||

Best to stay away from melee as a fresh start class. Mage or necro is a good choice and not very gear dependent.

Best advice ever is to play whatever interests you the most, regardless of gear or grouping considerations. Classic EQ is all about the adventure and the struggle. Take your time getting to the top, don't be bothered by obstacles. Any class you play here on P99 is going to be viable and will have people to group with. Disregard min/maxing your play experience and just let it happen.

Welcome! It's like Hailto said, but if those don't sound fun to you, I wouldn't recommend them. In strategic planning terms, they're great for levelling up quick and getting rich to supply your next alt. If that doesn't sound fun to you either, I wouldn't recommend that course of action either.

Agreed. Play whatever interests you. If you are not power leveled, and you have a job/family like most of us, then it is going to take you a very long time until you care about high end gear. Have fun.

I rolled a monk as my first character and that was kind of a mistake. I'm level 47 and still incredibly poor. I then started a shaman. He's level 34 now with horrible equipment.
Now I'm leveling a enchanter, which is what I should have started with. I can get over 200 cha for pretty cheap. Equipment matters on here because everyone else is so twinked out that you'll group with. | ||
