Norrath in a Nutshell: A Beginner's Guide

http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=41480

Here it is, bros. My labor of love to all new players wanting to learn the ropes. Here you will find answers (or directions to answers) to practically every question you may have as you start playing.

If any other questions arise, I'll be happy to field them.

Post your character's name, level, race, class, and starting city or present location here!

As we build characters on Project 1999, it will be helpful for us to coordinate our character information with each other. This way we will be able to see what is needed and better plan our grouping.

Our guild is called BroQuest. There's no real hierarchy in the guild, just a bunch of bros who know that being a bro is its own reward. Anyone can be an officer if they like for the purposes of inviting new members. As of now, Arrisard is acting guild leader and may enable further officers.

JOINING THE GUILD:

An invitation ingame can be achieved by contacting Arrisard, Awsum/Biclops/Roygbiv, or Dumbledorf. Alternatively, you can type "/who all broquest" into chat, and it will tell you the names of all guild members online. Send one of them a /tell to find out how to get invited.

On Steam, you can reach them at DCN1982, omgsecretmexican, and Space Marine Tiffany Teen respectively.

We have some mobile officers and can invite you near any of the starting cities in Kunark, Faydwer, and Antonica. More officers will be made soon.

We have undergone the group's first major project, the creation of our guild BroQuest, comprised mostly of interested /v/ bros on the EverQuest "classic" free server, Project 1999. In its present iteration it has content released through Ruins of Kunark, the first expansion. To play, you must first install the client and register at a couple sites.

Once this is complete, you should be able to login and create a character on Project 1999. Your character choice is totally yours to make and will have no bearing on your ability to join the guild. That said, you may want to pop into the Steam group chat, check out the roll call thread, or otherwise make an inquiry here as to what classes are especially needed.

If you are totally new to EQ, you should consider reading this beginner's guide:

After deciding on a character, post your information in the roll call thread. You can also find there information on how to receive an invite in-game:

Respond in this announcement or in the group if you're interested in the EQ guild. More info will be posted as it becomes available. Ask any questions that may arise!

While this is our first venture, we are open to suggestions with respect to other golden age gaming pursuits. Go ahead and share your ideas, odds are your nostalgia will be contagious.
