Neponde 0 Report post Posted February 1 Hey! I am considering starting up again. I loved the game pre sunset, but didn't get the opportunity to get far. I've dabbled in the emulator a few times, but not a ton. My time to play would be extraordinarily limited, and I know nothing of later game play. Chances are I'll be alone for most of my play time, though if there is ways to connect with others easily (via a guild or something) would love to possibly get plugged in. It may be some time before I can begin, we have no internet where I live right now. What's some people's favorite classes to roll with, and why? Pre sunset, I dabbled with JE, PW, and to a limited extent, TE. Never crested level 50 (if I recall correctly.) I enjoyed both combat and exploring. I'm not as interested in min/maxing, as I doubt I'll have time to even get one character to max level. Convince me! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woodstock DGM [HGM] 152 Report post Posted February 1 The JE is one of the easiest to start with. I have several of each of the nine professions. A easy solo player avatar can have a lot of fun in game. I am mostly solo or a group of my own tools. Most of the time. Right now I have been playing the Terran Scout (TS) a missile capable explorer class with great speed and the nullfactor shield that helps with the radiation damage and gravity well effects when its at maximum. Which makes it a descent trader especially with a Polar Express engine. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neponde 0 Report post Posted February 5 After browsing around for a while, and remembering a few things from about 19 years ago (I can't believe it was that long since I stopped.. I had to stop pre-sunset), I have decided on a PW for a main toon. It fits my style the most. I have found a few posts here and there for some basic guides, which have been helpful. Now that it looks like I can play with mobile data, I hope to be able to get setup in the next couple weeks. Thanks Woodstock for your contribution. I am looking to mostly just play and enjoy the game, though I know there will be 'grinding' involved. That said, are there are handful of things that would make my life much easier / more enjoyable? Assume I know nothing.. it really has been that long. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll do some more experimenting to see what i can do though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
