While browsing Twitch on Saturday, I came across Greengrocer's stream for p2002 and decided I'd give the server a shot. I'd never had the chance to raid Velious or Luclin and have always wanted to try playing a beastlord.
I created Bossk and started exping in Field of Bone. By the time I'd hit level 4, Greengrocer passed through the zone and spent his time helping me level with a DS and regen. With his help, I quickly hit level 9 in the pit and had my first warder. At the end of the session, Hassling, passed through and gave me a Crystalline Spider Fang and Greengrocer an Amulet of Insight. Now I was doing some actual damage!
I began making trips between PoK and Kurn's. Every time I hit PoK someone was kind enough to give me buffs to keep the exp flying.
After I'd leveled past Kurn's, I began to do the same with Overthere and then Warslik's Woods. Last night, Imarogue, was kind enough to let me join him in Unrest as he mass pulled the zone to get me through 29 and most of 30.
In four days, I've made it through my first hell level and am sitting at 31. I've had interactions with lots of different people and everyone has been super chill and helpful. I've been picking up odds and ends of gear as I level, have been given a couple of items, and have saved up 2.4k towards what will be my first real purchase of SCHW for haste.
If you're thinking about giving the server a try, I'm confident you'll be blown away by how eager to help the folks on the server are.
And thanks to all those who have helped my first four days be so enjoyable (apologies to anyone I've forgotten or names I've confused):
Greengrocer - for your stream, help with the first 9 levels, and buying my bone chips for starter plat
Hassling - for the Crystalline Spider Fang
Skoris - for the buffs, plat, and Velium Spear
Barkles - for logging off his druid when asked for SoW and regen to log on a cleric, shaman, and enchanter to buff me
Imarogue - for allowing me to join his pling session in Unrest
Nagasin, Coloskin, Meagin, Dubbs, and the others I've forgot who have been eager to assist when asked if I could snag some buffs.
It's been great fun and I'm looking forward to the rest of the journey!
