I logged in last night and made a rogue. The prohibition on 2 boxing is going to suck if I can't find groups, since I'm not interested in playing a solo friendly class like a mage, necro or druid.

Awesome. Couple more questions:
1. Is there an organized raiding community? A decent guild to chill with?
2. What classes are more lacking? Or, alternatively, what should I absolutely not play because there's way too many of and there'd be no room for me?
Basically, I just found my copy of Titanium and while the next two weeks are going to be very busy for me (moving, and mopping up DA2 achievements) after that I think I'd like to play old style EQ again. I'm thinking of going cleric style, assuming there's not 2390293 clerics already (I assume that's not the case since it was never true in EQ).
*Edit* installing Titanium right now. :)
Stosh, what timezone are you in / what hours do you plan on playing?
Just made a cleric (halfling, named Gruff).
Hey, in P1999 do I need to open the spellbook to meditate?
BTW, I'm such a terrible newb now. It took me like five minutes to remember that alt-o was how you opened the options window. :(
Be sure to train meditate and Sense heading. :)
I did for SH. I can't seem to find a GM that can train Meditate, mine didn't or at least I couldn't find it. I'll go look again when I head back to town...almost level 5!
*Edit* never mind, a little research says it'll show up when I hit level 8. I got confused since my char shows it there, but at skill 0.
Say, anybody play on P1999 and would be willing to *cough* send a newb some plat? Club* not as good as advertised, and can't afford a single L5 spell. :)
Yeah, I can get you started with some gear and plat and maybe a bit of powerleveling if I'm not busy. I logged on late tonight because my fucking brand new cable modem locked up while I was nodding off so IMs couldn't wake me up.
The raiding scene here is actually much more hardcore than back in the day. The top tier guilds will sit on top of god and dragon spawns all night waiting for a spawn. They just cleared all of sky before Kunark, which didn't happen on live. Guilds are organized with web sites/forums just like any other server.
Sounds good, thanks. What's your character name(s)? As I mentioned, Gruff here--I'm in Misty Thicket for now but I can run wherever.
Torven is my druid; Torvie my magician
Is there:
1. Some good UI themes that work with unpatched Titanium?
2. A map collection that matches the state of the world right now for P1999?
I use the Velious with extras UI found here. If you get that UI, be sure to click on the easy to miss extras link in the post and overwrite the files in the Velious UI folder to get an improved Velious UI. (percentiles next to bars, mostly)
As for maps, I saw this thread a little while ago. I haven't installed them, but they may be what you want.
Thanks, the maps are decent, the UI is great.
I'm going to be mostly AFK this upcoming week, however after that I'm up for grouping and smashing baddies if anybody else is around the mid 20s (Phae?)
Been playing for the past day or so. Have gotten an enchanter and rogue to level 5, Stosh and Stoshetta. Forgot to bind after making the trip from Steamfont to EC. Still have not found my original corpse in EC, but the second trip definitely reminded me to get a bind.
I'll try and lug my butt in sometime this week. Last week was crazy hectic, and I've been under the weather.
I finally have an internet connection and am mostly settled in after a bumpy move. I should be on a few nights this week, maybe days too we'll see--got a 25 cleric ATM.
I am going to start EQ again :). I think my level 75 paladin is still around.
Have a 51 cleric named Rivethead and druid named Ferris level 21, almost 22! Stosh?! Been leveling your rogue or what? :o
