I've started a couple characters, been enjoying myself for the most part (people have mostly been very nice). The starting newbie area inside Paineel is pretty good as long as there's only a couple people there. After you leave there well... I was happy to get off to Freeport! Even having to sneak around the sewers. Barbarian shaman probably hardest I've had, the starting zone is not great. Con ALL skeletons, cuz those vengeful musician skells will kill-ya-dead, and they wander right through the newb area!Lack of decent armor makes it difficult. Ended up doing what I've done with a couple characters and make the lowest level crappy armors myself (which hasn't been too bad, and has been a bit of a quest all by itself). I do miss the newb armor quests that EverQuest put in after so many years, enjoyed them. Kinda wish they put them in P1999 (or some variation). Don't think I have any particular advice except as a barb Shaman -DON'T- hand in any polar bear skin you're lucky enough to get to drop to Cindl, what she gives is crap and you're better off selling the skin to a player I've heard they go for 20-30 plat for 1. I understand there is a rogue armor quest, may be worth doing. I haven't done those yet. Do get the Initiate symbol it's a quick pretty easy quest, it's summon weapon is a good starter weapon, don't worry at all about the caster bead quest, they are crazy rare drops and the weapon is only good to put in other slot for the +5 mana.
