Howdy there.
 

Was never allowed to play EQ when I was a kid. Strict parents and what-not. So here I am!

I hope I don't totally suck for too long. So far I'm just killing wolves and wondering where everyone is.

Character's name is redblip.

Hey red! Welcome to the server. Hit me up on any of the characters in my sig, all new, the druid's highest at 11.

Ah thanks a lot! But uhh... as I'm probably the least educated person in the ways of eq since the first person installed it years ago, how might one go about contacting another? haha...

The wiki is full of useful info for new players, check out the newbie guide. For commands, there's this page: http://wiki.project1999.com/Commands

It's got a good list of commands for contacting people like /tell to send a private message or /who to check who's in your zone or if your friends are on.

Oh perfect. I'll be using this plenty. So how do I know which of your characters are on? Or do I just have to try each out?

You can type /who all vlakraien for each of his characters... or just attempt to send them a tell by typing /t Vlakraien, /t liito, /t rahban, etc. I'm not sure what class/race you made your character but some of the starter zones are FAR more populous.

Killing wolves, low population... sounds like Nektulos everywhere but skelly camp and newbie log. Are you a DE, blip?

I was thinking Hobbit --- Errr, Halfler

Barb/Warrior... I figured that would be a simpler route for someone just starting. And thanks for the info on that.

Oh cool! Stylgarr is still only lvl 2 but he's around in the Halas area. When are you usually on?
