Thanks for the advice! I rolled a cleric, and I've been bashing things for a little while. I'm loving the game so far, I feel so lost in it with no maps! Sadly I have to go for a bit, but I'll be back on tonight. I'm going to have to use the Wiki to figure some stuff out. Mainly what a bind is and how to get it, and also where Orc Hill is, and these other areas.
Hope to see some of you on later!
Binding is how you change your "spawn point" that you will return to if you use the spell Gate, or die. All casters can eventually bind themselves and other players (as long as they are grouped). There is some restriction however, melee classes can only be bound in cities or in a few specific areas (anyone can bind anywhere in Greater Faydark). You want to keep this in mind when you start traveling....dying then having to spend an hour running back to where you were is no fun.

Orc Hill is a small hill that has a few orc camps around it, it's not far from Kelethin in Greater Faydark (Gfay).

Also, welcome and enjoy. EQ is a great game, the progression is a lot slower than what you will be used to in WoW but it's definitely worth it. IMO the slower progression makes every little bit so much more significant...I was prouder of a lvl 10 in tattered leather armor on EQ than I was of any of my max level characters in other games.
