starting question
 

Hi all,
Full disclosure: my experience with EQ has been limited to say the least. Played for a short time back in ‘01-02. I think the highest level I got to was 15 before all my friends decided to jump ship and move to WoW. Played on and off for 6 years, and now that none of my friends no longer play MMOs, I was looking to P99 to satisfy my MMO craving. Typically, I could maybe get a few hours of play time a week, but a question has been lingering in the back of my mind:
Can someone who has basically never played the game get into EQ? Is the server still populated enough that a total newb like me can find a decent group to level with (even with my limited play time)?

P99 was my first and only experience with Everquest.

I kept the wiki open at all times.

/who all (your level +/-3) is a big help for finding people to group with.

Just getting started is the hard part. If you want to play on blue PM me I can get you going in some starter gear.

I started fresh, almost to 22. I've seen and have grouped with plenty of lower level groups.

You'll do fine. P99 blue has been decent for all levels for all the years I've been around. There are a few tricks that can help like what Toxigen said above. If you need more send me a PM on this forum.
