I'm coming home.... PoP was where i started my MMO experience.. I've played EQ2, LOTRO, WoW since but they just couldn't measure up. I could never play any of them long as real life (Work, Marriage, Kids) take over but now im able to spend a little more time with games and I want to come back. I just started Project1999 and it's enjoyable but it's still not the same.. I miss the plane of knowledge and being able to get to places a little easier. I couldn't believe this place even existed (was hard to find) so now i'm going to give this a try. My first real love. The main question though.. is how's the server population? Will it be possible for me to find groups in lower level dungeons like Crushbone or BlackBurrow or Unrest? I really dont want to double box as i prefer to group with real people. (who don't mind me being a noob for a while until i relearn everything). Even if i can't find groups i'm still going to solo for as long as possible just for the memories.
It will be slow if you are adamant about not playing a second (or third) character but many on this server have done it. Many people level up alts and are more than welcoming to a newbie jumping in and grabbing a spot.
We've had a huge growth in population in the last few weeks. You'll find a lot of people to group with.
Its been easier to find groups in recent weeks as Bum said. I say, get in on the floor level when you have no competition in areas you want to hunt, it will definitely not be that way forever. The server is only growing in population, albeit slowly. Its a testament to the confidence in the dev team. I'm sure there will be a big uptick when luclin comes out however.
Welcome friend. If you're looking for players to group or guild with check out Nephilim. You can send me a tell in game or Zavil, Pkewanay or Stereogre for more info. Also i'd second Secrets advice. If you plan to not have a healbot etc. I would consider a solo friendly class.
It also depends on your playtime. Euros have much less people to play with, US times it is much more crowded. Btw, after Euro championship is over, I will have more time to play again
I can log into the game fine but when i boot it up it asks me to select which detailed character models i want to Display and I can't even check Half of them? It says I have about 4096mb free... I have over 8 gigs of ram. Is there a way i can play with all detailed models? Says they recommend that i only select 2?
I would recommend considering a 2nd box. It might not seem desirable at first, but you will be so glad you gave it a try. Imagine having that healer follow you around, run speed, ports, or mana regen! It's really a no brainer. You will find groups regardless but everyone on this server ultimately solos, so why not make things a bit easier on yourself? Just a suggestion
Thanks so much everyone. another question. Am i able to scroll out with the wheel mouse to third person (I couldn't get it to work) or do i just need to use F9?
mouse scroll doesn't work on this client. yes need to use F9. Other players have other ways to work it in similar way without the mouse scroll.
I've come across more players than I expected as I've been leveling up, including a fair number of solo characters! I'm in my thirties now, but I'm always happy to group/chat/share advice!
