Well, with my billing issues DBG gave me a few free days to try out while they work out what happened to my payment.
I rolled an erudite paladin, Odus is quiet as hell (I shoulda known that and rolled somewhere busier to get a sense of community).
I fought my way to Paineel because the tox forest newbie zone is too sparse. Killed a bunch of decaying skeletons in paineel then carted the bone chips back to erudin to receive a boat load of spells, weapons and some raw hide armor and about 16pp in cash (spent on a 8/40 morning star).
Lots of vanilla raid bosses going down all the time, which I suppose is fun, but perhaps detracts from the magic of killing something rare.
The only 'this is not EQ' moment I had was being able to swim into the hole without a key. I made a little use of the map, which was nice, but not that different to having a side window with the zone map in anyway. Didn't die though, so never got to see what respawning fully geared felt like.
I realised I made a mistake when I swam into the hole; there were plenty of necromancers in there I could have sold my 100 bone chips to there for significantly more money, and then perhaps bought a burning brand / mudman enforcer cheaply in zone.
