Today I'm actually taking a break from P99 Green and playing with some old friends on P99 blue. They have started a guild specifically designed around making P99 Blue more newbie friendly, and one way they do that is with "Newbie Night" events, where people can compete for decent starting gear from levels 1 to 25. They also do lower level "raid" type events in dungeons that are often ignored, adding to the classic EQ atmosphere.
If you are thinking about starting on P99 blue, or if you are already there and having trouble getting groups or finding friends to hang out with, consider Yoremy Tessmia.
