It’s the greatest game ever made. Playing it back in 1999 when there was no info on the internet was an experience I’ll unfortunately never have again.
I actually feel the same way about runescape, I mean there was internet but I was so small at the time like 10 years old, I didn't know Google or anything so it was a world that felt so massive and exciting
Haven't played for over 20 years now but I was one of the most aggressive clerics on Veeshan server around the PoP / GoD expansion. I remember I would do weird shit as a cleric like be the main puller of a group by being creative with sooth (I think?) and root.. With speed buffs I would have mobs lined up,, there was also an item I could proc that had a snare? I can''t remember. But I lost a few years of my life to this game at its peak... tried EQ 2 for a year - then had to get on with my life. Never really looked back but I do miss some of it. The Plane of Time raids when they were new were crazy and setting up heal rotations. When GoD was new and it was specced way too hard - a fucking 10 hour group session to beat a single group zone where we did it and I was literally shaking in the end from the stress lol. Crazy memories.
It's so unforgiving that I describe it as "a fantasy world survival game" and I consider that an awesome feature of the game. For decades I claimed EQ was the peak of the genre ca 2003; started playing p99, and now I know I'm right.
During HoT on Mischief I consistently was in the top 10 on raids without a charm pet. You eventually get 3 dots and 3 nukes. When you can charm your charm spells buff the pet starting at the 95 charm.
Buff your pet and yourself at the same time that way you know when your buffs start to wear off that his is also. Also the enchanter is probably the best DPS in the game fucking obliterates! It's a difficult class to get down but once you do, charm and you will outclass anybody else in the game. I can't believe that 25 years down the road this game is back and I am watching it on UA-cam! People will never believe that I saw marriages fall apart because of this game, I even saw people get married on this game! This game was crazy good
Tip for running for your life: press forward and strafe at same time and use the diagonal run path to outrun mobs. One of the usable quirks. Also, use bandage to heal up to 70%. Cheers,
^^^this. Unmodified/unbuffed run speed is a velocity of 30. Strafe running brings it up to 33, which is a solid 10% increase without consuming any of your endurance. Strafing also stacks with buffs and mounts.
the game is ruined now since DBG chose money over enforcing their own rules. teek server and faceless fury being exempt from the rules. training, zone disruption, and griefing gets no punishment. tell them about and get ignored, post on the forums and get banned.
Give Quarm a try. It has some QoL changes (nothing that takes away from the spirit of the game imo. Community is great). I haven't logged into P99 since Quarm launch.
@@nmbr1defender762 naw, Quarm went down the QoL toilet. free legacy, free epics, instant travel, boxing, instant spawns... etc etc. Quarm is about as far from real EverQuest as you can get. Which is why P99 with stale AF Velious for 15 years still gets more players than Quarm, heh

I remember my roommate, and I had half a room filled with alkazam maps and mob chart printouts 😂
@@jn2400 I also had the whole alkazam maps printed in a binder :D

That’s my corpse outside of Crushbone lol

Just fyi the Enchanter is an absolute pumper at higher levels. A charm pet can out damage like the most well-geared player.

Grab your friend and play again now on Teek server.

Buffing ur pet certainly works!
I wasn't sure if the buffs went on pets
