Did they go back on their donate 500 bucks and get early access to Velious launch yet? That was probably one of the worst ideas I've ever seen considering how big of an advantage that puts a guild in for launch.

Doesn't give much of an advantage - no raid mobs are up. So you can get portal fangs ahead of time and start Shawl/Ring quests while people aren't farming the materials - whoop de doo.

It's not like everyone in raid guilds are going to pay $500 for a week of early access, maybe a couple of people will - not enough to make any kind of difference.

Is anyone around to help me transfer some bags with stuff in Kaladim? All chars in place, should only take 5 minutes

Depends on if you can hold a camp like SF or not. Remember kunark launch and ib locking down hs for a good month or so? It will be much worse with SF.

And with no raid mobs spawned, you could likely place a coth mage in ntov since you don't have to worry about aary or shit.

they already accounted for this.... they said upon the full release of Velious all characters camped in Velious will be moved to East Commons, and everyone bound in Velious will have their bind point reset to EC.

there is still some debate on the issue, but the P99 devs and many players do claim that AC works correctly on P99.

idk about other EMU servers.... probably mostly a mixed bag.

I'm about to hit lvl 24 and I'm still using the same gear I did at lvl 10 lol. Prices are insane on the server I'm not even tempted to farm shit for plat since a lot of the upgrades I'd need on my necro are pretty pricey.

I've been grouping when I can instead of soloing 100% of the time like I did one live. It's been interesting doing Unrest and SolA again. Though I did forget that dots do not stack from multiple people so it's hard to get in a group when another necro is already in it. Luckily in Unrest all I do is sick the pet and ude my undead nukes.

If anyone is in the early to mid 20s wants to group or has room msg me kythikx.

Prices are downright weird. SSB costs more than M2H...

It's not weird, it's priced that way because it's best droppable helm for most classes that can use it.

Problem with playing a 15 year old game is everyone has perfect information and knows exactly what stats and classes matter - so everything is min-maxed to the fullest - including prices on items.

Best in slot and next to best in slot cost a ton on P99, but everything else (unless it's rare or has useful clicky/resists) is dirt cheap. You don't need best in slot until level 60, some people got to 50 on classic with fine plate armor and bad ratio weapons.

I've been in a lvl 30ish group where the rogue was told he sucked because he didn't have epic.

Pretty sure that didn't happen on live.

P99 has more drama then any single one EQ server ever had.

ok, let me say it this way: it's fucking absurd how much money is floating through the game. Casinos sure as hell didn't have a minimum bet of 1k back then.

True, but it's been stuck on the same expansion for 3 years. Plus everyone knows where the plat mobs are now and there aren't enough plat sinks to take it out of the economy.

what is SSB? all i can think of is skull shaped barbute.
yes, exactly that. The thing that was like 50 plat on live and constantly rotting due to LORE ITEM.

It's 1k here.

I'm also kinda digging the whole "you may not exp in KC or Sebilis if your guild may target VS or Trakanon" vibe that I'm getting from their forums right now.
