World Map
Here’s a the original world map, to give you an overview:
And this is the technical map with zone connections labeled, to help you get from place to place:
Layout setup
Once you’ve got P99 all set up, and you’re logged in. You’re going to have to familiarize yourself with the layout and configuration, as well as some useful commands. That’s what this guide is for!
First. Let’s tackle all the spam going into 1 window:
Star by right clicking your Main Chat window, and Create New Window.
Next, you’ll want to create two windows (for starters). One for spam, and one for communications. So again, right click the window… and select Say, Tell, Group, Guild.

The next thing you’ll want to do (optional) is change the background color of your window. I like dark blue. So again, Right click your window and go to:
Window > Background > Tint Color

Useful Commands
The next thing that’s going to help you out is learning some of the commands that are useful!
/who – tells you who is in zone
/who all (zone shortname) tells you who is in a specific zone
/who all 11 (tells you who is online in the entire world, and is level 11)
Now, put it all together and do:
/who all gfaydark 11 (who is level 11 in Greater Faydark)
or better
/who all gfaydark 10 15 (who is in Greater Faydark, level 10 to 15 range)
Here is a link to all zone shortnames:

Next thing you’ll want to know is how to set up an /assist hotkey
/assist is probably the MOST important thing for grouping
To create a button, you can use the following command:
/hotbutton assist /assist <name>
When grouping, you’ll want to use that hotkey to make sure you’re focusing on the same target as the rest of your group. Otherwise, you might mess up Mesmerize, or even worse: draw aggro and get killed.
Kicker – if you’re a pet class, and you are engaged on the wrong target, make sure you spam /Pet back off and re-engage the target that your group is focusing.
Clip Plane (reduce graphic lag)
Open up your Options window. Go into the Display tab and lower the Clip Plane. Additionally, you can turn particles (spell graphics down, or off).
