I understand the frustration that sometimes comes with trying to find friendly people to group with. It sounds like you are willing to leave your comfort zone to reach out and make the attempt though, which makes me think you will be just fine in classic. There are going to be plenty of people looking for the same thing (myself included). See you out there; maybe we’ll end up running a friendly dungeon, or trying to kill each other, depending on the factions we choose ![:wink:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/wink.png?v=6" ":wink:")
the hardest part about classic wow is the leveling once you jit 60 its easy mode.
“Gimme all your silver, or the murloc gets it!”
You can’t even compare P99 EQ to WoW Classic. It’s apples and oranges.
Classic will play out however it does. No sense stressing about it now.
WoW Classic really is the perfect game. Comparing it to EQ in any way just doesn’t work, especially a Private server like P99.
I still play current live retail EQ and it’s also a fantastic game, but nothing beats Classic WoW.
There is plenty to do if you can’t manage to find a dungeon group right away. Sitting on your bum in the Commons Tunnel while you LFG isn’t going to happen in WoW Classic. You’ll be out doing quests and advancing your character plenty.
Your concerns are warranted based on your experiences elsewhere, but I doubt you’ll find many problems along your journey.
Yout cant multi box on p99 at least not easily. They have the servers set up so only one computer can connect from a given IP address
Hi friends, don’t forget that when you play Classic WoW, to make sure you do
/join LookingForGroup in your chat, and get others to join it as well, so you can do game-wide help requests through the LFG channel. I’m not sure why they didn’t make characters just automatically join this channel, at least after a certain level.
When I was playing the stress test, I didn’t see many people in it, perhaps they didn’t know it existed. I saw more people joining a fake custom non-game channel of “world” instead of the real LFG channel that doesn’t spam you every time someone joins/leaves.
I think you’re assuming a lot of things about me. I’m not a jerk to folks, and I don’t think I’m a bad player (at least I haven’t caused any huge trains or royally screwed up in any way yet) though I really haven’t had much of an opportunity to practice. I’ve also never ninja looted. Don’t know what I’m doing wrong that makes people ignore me to be honest. It might be because I’m a quiet and introverted person and haven’t really made a big name for myself with trolling and wit.
The thing about times though, is not really something I can negotiate. I’m on call a lot during the day and can only really sit down for a straight long session late at night. It’s not really something I can help. Does that mean I don’t deserve to have a game available though?
Vanilla was successful because you could solo all the way to the cap easily.
I’m a bit perplexed what you are worried about.
The fact that theres a ton of group content at level cap, and while leveling, that he’s not sure he’ll be able to do. This will be especially true if he picks the wrong thing to want to play. If he wants to be a ret paladin, he has to be prepared to be turned down from groups all the time. I remember in TBC, I was a T6 geared ret, I couldn’t get invited for 5 mans.
Well…P99 has 750+/- People online.
Classic WoW servers will have WAY more than that.
P99 is not comparable whatsoever.
I know that they’re two different games of course, but I could easily see the same issues happening with Classic WoW. A couple of years down the line and someone new joins the game? That level 30 warlock who just wants to run RFK is going to have a tough time in a sea of max levels and the occasional low level twink running around.
I did give bard a try, but eh it’s not really my class.
This is why they created LFD. Better to take the risk of not forming a group, than the guaranteed destruction of a faceless NPC organiser.
Is this a personal problem in life that is carried into your gaming experience? Is it difficult to talk to people and make friends? If yes, then just realize that you can do it. It might be hard. It might take time. However it can be done and your experience can be magnificent.
Fear attracts fear. I would recommend to not worry about something that hasn’t happened. I would recommend that you join a good guild that fits what you are looking for socially.
If you have a hard time I will be playing you can add me, I am not subbed right now and coming back for Classic but realize good people exist and are looking to just have fun like anyone else in Classic. So rest your worries. It isn’t worth the energy. Have a great day!

It actually is for me. I’m just trying to enjoy whatever games I can despite it though.
need to run dungeon, go to major city and start spamming LFG, once you find someone have them go to other major city and spam LFG as the city channels are not linked.
Well don’t worry, you can have fun. Keep your head up. There will be a lot of people to play with.
I had friends or made friends . You have to go out of your way to help others and then you might find some good peeps to play with. It also helps to be good at the game. If you suck people are not going to want to carry you. My friends would clown on the pug we brought with us all the time. They usually stay because we were moving fast. Other times the rage quit.
I just did some time on Magler at launch. Since I am NOT a social butterfly in game, here is how I did it. It most likely would for Classic as well.
I joined a guild specifically for leveling. Made sure the guild was cool with that. I asked if anyone was setting up a static group. Kinda found another guy who wanted that as well. We got a full group ready and everyone had agreed to the play schedule. We hit 50 easy peasy.
If I do Classic (and I want to) it will be my son and I as a duo. The whole time. WoW classic as a duo can’t be beat.
