Just thought I'll bump this for a quick thank you to everyone so far that I've played with or just casually chatted to in game. 'Lafael' the druid is doing great in Crushbone (seriously, I love that zone) and my Shaman 'Venexia' + friend's Warrior 'Wulframm' are making a great duo; we just arrived in Black Burrow.
Playing it from fresh, i.e. no twinking, is somewhat difficult, especially for Wulframm. He literally has almost no armour, not even cloth. Everfrost Peaks drops are stingy, especially those polar bears, other newbie zones seem far more friendlier with loot drops. That said, for both Lafael and Venexia the cost of spells is becoming fairly high and both are broke as a result. Venexia has all her level 5 Shaman spells and Lafael has the important level 9 Druid spells. Wulframm however could use some armour or a decent weapon! Heck, so could Lafael. I'm just waiting for someone to come running though the zones with some odd items to sell that may be of use.
Anyway, I'm having a great time, and apart from the activities of a small number of bards running around entire zones with a congo line of enemies, everyone has been great (that said, the bards did leave us newbies with enough mobs to kill ourselves). After years of back and forth between other MMOs and the usual life priorities, it's good to come back to EQ and enjoy it even more than I did all those years ago; it really did something right, something that no other game has been able to recreate.
Feel free to send me a tell if you see me in game
