Greycee was created on January 23, 2013t.

I actually started the server on January 7, 2013 but had a bugged account so had to create a new one on January 23rd.

It's important to think of this as a "game". There are different ways to play the game, and different strategies to get there.

Greycee is a druid, level 45. My "main" will be a cleric. Kupcake is level 20 and very well geared.

This was a post by me on January 17th:

BTW - the ooc offering 50 plat for a port? I saw a druid in BB ooc'ing asking 100 plat to port.

Serious? Maybe I should level a druid first.
Within 10 days of starting on the server, I knew I needed a different strategy.

I knew I needed to level a druid first.

Druids don't need gear to charm. The only gear I purchased for my druid is a foreman's tunic for 200 plat, and a springwood club for 250 plat.

While monk is not as gear dependent as a warrior, your character is more gear dependent than others classes to generate dps.

Porting tippers are generous and people like to move around.

I can't say my cleric's gear is a result of the tipping though. I was saving for a pair of GEBS with my porting plat when I befriended a player that stripped his cleric and gave me the gear. There IS a lot of wealth on the server and mixed with nice people that share.

You didn't mention if you were in a guild? Even in my noobie guild, the higher levels pass down to the lower. We have a guild bank account full of low to mid level gear. (This is not intended to be a recruitment post).

As in most leveling games, level > all.

This is absolutely fine, but that time has a value in the game. We've all heard it said the game is a time sink, so time does determine success to a great extent.

I talked to a guy the other day, who played the EC tunnel for 6 weeks before rolling so he would have the plat to gear. This is not my idea of fun, but I've met a lot of people that really enjoy EC. You can start with pelts, bone chips, spider silk and trade up. Ever see the shows "Barter Kings" or "Trading Up"?

theres more than one way to skin a cat, just like there's more than one way to play EQ.
Keep at it. Most importantly enjoy yourself each time you log on.
