Something I didn't see mentioned thats a good thing to keep in my mind.

Corpse runs are significantly different, I wont go over wow's corpse run system but a quick rundown of eq

You start with a "bind" point near your starting city. Everytime you die you spawn there naked and physical, no ghost, needing to run back to where you died.

As you level it is necessary that you rebind, Bind affinity a spell most casters get around 12-14, if youre not a class that can cast it you can find a caster that can do it for you. You can't bind everywhere, normally just city zones, unless you can bind yourself. there are some non city zone areas you can bind in.

If you find yourself in a situation where you think death is inevitable try to run to a safish area for corpse retrieval, if you run into a camp of mobs try not to die to close or theyll just agro you naked. When you come up to your corpse you won't get a pop up that regears you instantly youll need to get within loot range and loot each item individually, which takes time and draws your attention leaving you vulnerable. Normally you will want to use the /corpse command which summons your corpse to your current location, assuming you are close enough, to drag your corpse to a safe spot. Normally zonewalls are safe in most every zone, some wanderers but if you can get high enough youre usually safe.

Just be aware of death it is common and brutal, huge experience loss, long corpse runs, etc etc. If your in a group deep in a dungeon you may not be able to retrieve it at all and youll have to pay someone to retrieve it for you, though there are a lot of people that help for free on this server.

Rebind everytime you move to a new area! youre starting area will last you to level 10 or so and then youll be traveling farther and farther away from your home town. The last thing you want is to die 5 zones away and have to run back naked through wandering mobs risking dying again.

I'm rambling, youll learn all of this playing thats what the fun is!
