Rolled an Iksar Shaman on the blue server yesterday. Is there a possibility of getting an invite to the goon guild? Character name is Tiresias.

Hit 19 on my Druid last night, teleporting around like a badass. I'm glad I got to experience riding the slow-rear end 1999 boats again, but now I'm glad I can skip that bs. 10 levels to go and I can start teleporting others for tips! Woohoo.

Should be able to get in no problem, just gotta catch an office when you're both online and send them a tell. You'll have to meet up somewhere though which will be a pain in the rear end for a low level iksar, but you can work it out.

I have a feeling I am going to get kicked from TMO at some point. I love grouping with those guys, but raiding feels like an absolute chore (especially when you are melee and reliant on everyone else for rides.) Unless I come all the time, I feel like I stand zero chance of ever seeing even a single piece of gear. There are so many dudes that show up to every single raid with giant stocks of DKP, and I just am not ever going to be one of those people because of my family and work life. I have seen these guys raid for up to 8 hours a stretch sometimes. There's just no way I personally can handle that. I really wish there was room for membership in TMO as a non-raider, but I have a feeling that isn't the case. Sigh. It was fun while it lasted I guess.

Sat in a Halls of Testing raid last night putting tells in for quest plate, only to watch the same couple warriors get drops because they're the hardcore players these days. As casual scum, I'm not in a rush to get Best in Slot, but it's easy to feel like you're lagging behind the other guys in Velious.

Right, I basically feel like a throwaway soldier who's just there to speed up the gearing process for officers. I'm not saying that the guys who put in the time don't deserve the gear over me, they do, but if you can't show up very very consistently it feels completely pointless to even try. I wish that I could just be a member of TMO, make alts, help people with their epics, help people with the 50-60 grind, port guildmembers, etc. Raiding just isn't for me though. It takes forever, I'm never going to see drops, and Empire shits all over us right now and for the foreseeable future resulting in my evenings ending with my melee rear end plugged at some zoneline and spending the better part of my next day trying to secure a port home. Not a fun way to play the game.

I just started an enchanter on Blue. I remembered enough to make it to Qeynos and get bound there. Made it to level four and found the people nice (someone dumped a fine steel weapon for spell money on me, and someone else gave me a Green Silken Drape). Looking for an invite into the Unknown Guild, character's named Erianine. Currently on line and hunting Cuburt in the Qeynos sewers.

I just got an app. invite to Asgard in blue a little while ago. They seem very relaxed letting people join and leave raids as life permits. I am only a level 51 Rogue working on my epic (no plat to mq) so I am unfortunately not able to make many raids since I am so low. Other day someone won HoT Chain pants for only 1dkp point. I feel like I am so behind.

Get your levels, work on your epic while you're LFG. You have the benefit of it being super easy to finish. Kunark is still gonna be your best bet for leveling I think. And just think about when you're 60 you'll be spending your 1 DKP on chain pants, because everyone else will have it.

Never mind that you can still download Luclin high-rez environment textures, enhanced lighting and a host of other post-luclin graphic mods. The reasoning is it's not authentic to the classic experience. The actual reason is it allows trolls and ogres to get on top of some buildings which may allow an advantage in PvP servers. In other words nobody wanted to be bothered to fix it or deal with the several complaints a year it may make. people also were using it to duck out of tstaff procs on the pvp server among other things which was a p big deal Hoppy Goodness posted:Minamata here.

Looted a new 2HS in Kael this afternoon - http://wiki.project1999.com/Thunder_Runed_Great_Sword. Can anyone explain the wiki resist details (-100 SvM)? This sword seems to land a lot of procs on trash mobs.

Divinity has been letting people roll for drops for the most part as long as its your main character and you are a full member (after like 2 weeks). If my dice were even marginally better id be pretty pimped out already and im pretty low on the totem pole.

I don't even mind helping some goons power level for awhile, although my buffs aren't crazy strong yet so only good for newbies.

So your phat lutes are safe XP is crazy! I leveled to 12 in one night, 26 the next night, and I'm now 32.

Hey, I got some questions that you guys may or may not know the answers to, On 1999 (blue) did they ever change the class XP penalties? I heard a lot of talk about it being something that might happen at Velious or post-Velious but I haven't seen anything very concrete on the issue, so I assume that means they're still active and SK and Paladin are still pretty rough to level? I'm gonna stick with Druid anyways, but I'm curious. Also there's lots of items on the wiki that are greyed out and have notes about how they were added in Velious or post-Velious, are those in-game probably or not? Like the druid spell to teleport to surefall glade, is that in-game on 1999 or no? Also general EQ question, what exactly does succor do? Like its an evacuate spell for getting away quickly, right? So is it just a faster teleport? Most of the succor / egress spells have a specific zone, does it mean it teleports you to that zone quickly or does it mean only if you're in that zone that you can cast it to get to a safe spot? Then later on I think Wizard gets a simple 'succor' spell, does that work for any zone? Seems awfully limited to only have succor for a few specific zones. Like druid gets Succor: Butcher at 34. Are you ever going to be leveling in BB where you need to evac once you're 34+? Or can you cast it from anywhere, just making it a faster teleport spell? Hexel posted:I'll be around all day chillin in the tunnel.

My drat alt-itis burnt me out and I wanna delete those guys and just have my monk Yeah man hit me up, I'm happy to do grunt work for some spare plat here and there.  I'm at work ATM but I'll be on for sure after I get off and probably a good bit this weekend.I was a really bad alt-aholic on live back in the day (I leveled literally every class to at least 10 but I never got much higher than like 25) so I'm trying to stick with one character on 1999 for the most part

Hybrid XP penalty is still in, will be coming out in a few months I think. They are following "the official" Velious timeline. Basically just going by the patch notes from whenever Velious came out. The spell at 57, Succor is like a emergency port to somewhere else in that zone. The other ones, like Succor Ro Or Succor East, Winds of North/South are quick casting emergency ports to those places, but you have to be in a dungeon to cast them I think. You will get paid a ton at level 39 to port people to DL then run into to KC and evac to EJ.

Class penalties will be in for a bit yet, but they were removed during Velious so will probably be gone early next year at the latest. Race penalties will be staying AFAIK. More info on those: http://wiki.project1999.com/Game_Mechanics#Race.2FClass_Experience_Penalties The original Evac/Succour ________ line of spells have no requirements and are just fast casting group teleports. Traditionally, if you're grouping as a wiz/dru you would keep one loaded for when poo poo hit the fan (overpull, train, AFK healer, whatever). The Kunark era adds these types of spells for Skyfire (Winds of the North/Tishan's Relocation) and Emerald Jungle (Winds of the South/Markar's Relocation) with the added requirement that you must be inside a Kunark dungeon in order for them to work. Evacuate/Succour (level 57 wiz/dru) are group teleports to the designated safe spot in a zone (Necro 55 spell Levant does this also but just for the caster). This was originally the loc 0, 0 in many old world zones, but in a lot of zones it's somewhere nice and out of the way of mobs or the zone-in. Notably, it can be used to get across West Karana when you're heading to Qeynos. Here's a list of safe spots if you're interested: http://wiki.project1999.com/Travel_Guide#Evacuate_Locations iNteg posted:Hi yes, I need an appointment to hang out with you and drink copious amounts of beer.

Why do illusion spells break when you zone? Its definitely intentional design since normal buffs carry through zones. Is there some way you could exploit that or something? I just remember in vanilla being screwed when my dark elf enchanter zoned through freeport and got caught by a guard with my illusion down. Right now I'm playing a good character so its no big deal, but I'm curious why it was deemed necessary in the first place.
