Half elf Ranger/druid's had the Choice of starting in kelethin OR Qeynos.
I remember this very clearly.
Well actually I don't understand why you have those notes in the game because those were not classic at all, Neither was the food on your person either.
When I started my half elf ranger back in 99 I clearly remember starting in Gfaydark(its why i fell in the love with the game)
and the only thing i had on me was a short sword. That was it.
I really don't think they started that note thing till either kunark or velious. I know it was introduced Very early, as well as the food supplies but neither were on the initial release.

If you click on the
bottom link from the original post, you'll find all of the newbie starting items (including the guild tunic from newbie note) referred to, along with the changes in their progression since release.
If you didn't have a newbie note, this manual from March of 1999 explains why:
[Note: Some PC's do not start with this note, as their Guildmaster has not yet been added to the world. Not having a note does not is not a disadvantage, as membership to your profession's Guild is not required to receive training]
Due to this, it seems as if Surefall Glade may not have been complete at launch.
I don't think a Priest of Discord was ever added to SFG. This could have been an oversight.

It seems likely that the listed classes above began starting in SFG when selected Qeynos as their starting city once SFG was complete.

I've been trying to find my old ROK/Classic discs. The Eqmanual.doc file should be identical on both, since when Kunark was released, there was a second ROK_Manual_Supplement.doc, rather than an edited manual. I did find my SOV disc and installed that, but it only installed Velious files, no core game files at all.
If anyone can dig up their old discs and host these files, it would be a handy resource for a number of things. Meanwhile, I'll keep looking.
