I don't know about the rest of y'all, but I started as a Barbarian, both on live and here on P99. For Barbarians, as well as for Qeynos humans (and really for Erudites too), Blackburrow is THE dungeon when you start, just as Crushbone is THE dungeon for elves/dwarves/gnomes. You can't tell me that's not classic EQ.
When you're new, whether new to EQ or new to P99, you don't think "gee, Blackburrow is crowded with high level characters, I'll go find a druid, get him to give me a free port since I'm new, go to a different dungeon that I found on the Per Level Hunting Guide, and then get a druid to port me back when I need to train/get spells". You think "what the hell are these people doing in my starting dungeon? This is the one place Barbarians/Humans/Erudites are supposed to learn how to play EQ."
Now of course you
can XP in Everfrost plain, Qeynos Hills, or even Permafrost. But two of those aren't dungeons, and the third is essentially deserted. Newbies should have a starting dungeon. They learn important things about grouping, surviving trains, etc. that will matter later on in their EQ careers.
Instead of saying "let's have higher level characters prevent 1/3rd of all new characters from having a starting dungeon" and blaming the victims for not going somewhere that:
A) they probably don't know about
B) they don't know how to get to
C) is far from their starting city
how about we try to figure out a way to make our
classic EQ emulator actually emulate classic EQ when it comes to something incredibly basic: starting dungeons?
