It certainly didn't help things when TAKP split over some bs crap and p2002 was put up.

Yeah, let's split the user base in half as part of 'plan A'.

It turns out the nerdiest EQ nerds are prone to having abrasive personalities and experience difficulty resolving interpersonal conflicts. Quelle surprise.

Oh sorry mate, I thought I had responded to this: Unknown is dead, join a leveling guild. Just group with folks and you will find one; if you don't, Kittens is a safe bet.

I was going to say I'll log in to take it back for the next dead period but I've played on red so I guess I'm not good enough for you anymore /cry

Edit: in all seriousness, if no one is chomping at the bit for it, don't worry about it, I can get the leader tag back whenever via the staff if you disappear with it.

I have an officer in EC for an UG invite if you want, but goons are largely scattered across different guilds. Personally I currently run with Kittens, which is a hybrid leveling/raiding guild.

If I catch you online I'll drop you a weapon, HP rings, and some plat.

Halfling and dwarf city guards were commonly solo'd on live, so I'm not surprised people do it on Project 1999 too.

First number of /loc is up or down on map, second number is right or left. But use the map app in the OP of this thread.

Curious on "boxing". Anybody have a set-up for a single macinge that they recommend that is relatively easy to deploy? Thinking it would be nice to have one on blue that is a solo class and I could play between quad pulls with my wizard on red.

You can just run two instances of EQ. The staff allow playing on both servers at the same time.

Okay, tried that and seemed like it was causing a bunch of display issues for my original instance. Might need to just tweak video settings some more and get it set up correctly.

Set aside that 50pp for spells, you can get a basic set of armor for free or at cost from one of us.

I'm online in EC on Klaymen for a bit. Best way to communicate with other goons is probably through the thread.

Just got to group stuff and the game is pretty fun now. Feels like EvE where I start combat and things sort of play out after that

Is it a faux pas to sit during combat? I run out of mana pretty fast during heal intensive fights and sitting to regen mana seems more useful to the group than waggling my hammer at the mob

You should absolutely be sitting in combat to regain mana.

See, you'd think that, but at your level server etiquette actually requires you to melee everything, chain cast only aggro generating spells and scream at people that you are out of mana the whole time. Turn on capslock and never look back!

This is good advice. Do whatever you want in a cooperative way as you level into whatever role you'll play later on in the game. A full group can go ham on a lot of the classic content.

Edit: For reference, I made a gimmick gnome cleric and would melee in Unrest groups well into the early 20s. Nobody complained

If you're not twinked, med away as soon as you get the skill and enjoy a life of yelling at your party that you're OOM every time they pull. If you're rolling around with a fungi and a brawl stick, melee 4 lyfe and cast flash of light while spamming /rude whenever the tanks take aggro from you.

Caster melee works for low levels but unless you're rocking a tola robe, high strength, and a velium brawl stick or Rod of Annihilation past 20 you're better off medding.

Stand on incoming pull, sit when mobs are tanked/CC'd to avoid proximity aggro.

Use any of the /who commands. On its own it lists all characters in your current zone. You can add parameters: zone name, level range, class, character name, guild name...

For instance: "/who all 20 druid" will list from all zones level 20 characters whose class is druid.

It's actually true to the era. They took out needing the book open to meditate between Kunark and Velious. And IIRC at that, after like level 35 you could always meditate with the book closed, even on classic.
