Hi ! I haven't seen any other section in the forum for new players so I will ask questions here and hopefully I'm not at the wrong place.
I've been lurking around on and off and I'm about to start playing. The first time I played EQ, Planes of Power just got out. So I'm not that much familiar with anything prior to that. I do understand that it was tougher, longer. I remember certain details about death penalty and such but really, even after reading stickies on the forums, and the 'getting started', I feel the need to ask because I hate not being prepared.
FYI, I played on Shards of Dalaya ( another EMU ) for 2 years not too long ago, so I'm trying to 'deconstruct' anything that might pose a problem to my experience here.
1 - Do classes work the way they are 'supposed to ' ? Rogues Rangers are DPS. SKs, Paladins, warriors are tanks... etc ?
2 - Which classes in classic posed the best solo options ? ( My knowledge tells me necros, druids and bards to some extent were the best )
3 - Which classes in raiding, are the most important yet unplayed ?
4 - Is the population active enough to warrant finding group at any level and pretty much any given timezone ?
5 - Any tips on trading, getting plats, experience zones, etc ?
Other things I should know before stepping in the abyss of non-EXPness ?
