Its something like:
/pause 2, /target "yourname"
/pause 2, /doability 1(or where ever you have bind wounds at)
/pause 2, /stand
/pause 2, /target a (mob name)
/attack on

You can skip the target mob name and just manually target too

I used half of this and did the re-target and resume attacking myself, seem to work smoother

If you get going hit me up in game (same name) and I'll power level you through the beginning levels if you can catch me free.

I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things. Would still love to try the hole out if anyone else is up for it.

Also, is there a guild that would be best if I want to try and get my epic? Not looking for a crazy raid guild, but one that does a lot of group stuff.

There isnt any one "best" guild but there are serveral mid-tier guilds that are able to accomplish epics here https://www.project1999.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=05dc101a4ab17df787d6516dea23d024&f=18

Doesn't get around guides and GMs who actually go around looking for people boxing or like that article mentioned, snitches. If you do it somewhere popular like KC or Seb or Quillmane etc, someone is probably gonna snitch.

So basically, use a VPN and don't make it obvious/do it in popular areas. Or just don't box, not really worth the hassle in my opinion. There's plenty of places where boxing is allowed if you wanna go that route.

I watched this necro boxing in misty thicket he was killing the wall guards. He would pull and kill till his mana was low then a bard with a name almost exactly like his would log in and play mana song :laugh:

The P99 boxing detection works on your machine name and hardware ID, virtual machines and a VPN can get around that but nothing will save you when Braknar shows up and wants your two toons to run figure eights at the same time.

is there an active P99 IRC channel or something? motherfucker seems to have forum PMs turned off and I wanna go say hi

theres a p99 discord i think he hangs there sometimes

Philonius posted:

How many people are playing that though? One of the appeals of p1999 is that it has a good server population. And that it strictly disallows multiboxing.

about 300+ during primetime

You can 3 box here which amplifies the pop. I got sick of ground transferring things and having to bug guildies to move stuff. Spent over a year at level 55 grinding light blue level 40 mobs trying to progress so this server is a good fit for me.

Pok is enabled so you dont have to bug people for ports, MQ is disabled so you can actually do your epic or get jboots and things without sockers sitting on spawns. Im sitting in OOT right now grinding seafuries and the AC is open. Been open all weekend.

This is so insanely helpful thank you. I've honestly been in a rut with my necro ever since hitting 55 and been wondering what to do. I had heard something about "ogres and trolls in Neriak" but the P99 wiki seems really messed up and does not reflect the info you gave me, nor does it list any of the ogre and troll factions. As a result I did not feel confident taking any exploratory actions out of fear of ruining my currently good Neriak faction (I like to use it as a home away from home.)

Theres also a mob on top of the tower near the wizzy spires in north karana called Captain Linarius. He's dark blue all the way to 60. I dont know what his spawn time is on p99 but on 2002 its every 2 1/2 minutes because he has a quest turn-in

using the pwc as a shaman isnt about the proc but purely for the ratio and damage as you level

there was a point in your 20's where it would give about 4% xp per turnin and then it gets progressively lower at higher levels but as a wizard porting into Gfay and running to Kele for 1% in a hell level is still good xp

at least for slackers like i was

Bards killing people with music isn't all that far fetched.

Babbage was killed by a team of angry organ grinders who he had tried to get kicked out of the city, they camped outside his house and wore him down all day and then he had a heart attack or something.

I've never played a bard, sometimes I think about it but eh.

Rogean probably makes poo poo all considering his company gets what like 20k in donations a year to run a a bunch of server infrastructure with enterprise level DDoS protection. poo poo ain't cheap.

Does anyone outside of major corporations still run their own servers these days? I thought everyone was on amazon cloud services.
