New Player - Intro

[Jetlag]

Hi everyone!

I had originally gained interest in this server two years ago, but was discouraged by the cost of retail Titanium sets. On my recent visit and SEARCHING these forums, I found the solution that has oft been repeated. Biting the bullet and risking my computer's well-being, I managed to obtain a copy of Titanium. So here I am.

I played a wizard up to level 10 during beta and started over as a cleric for release. Played a couple years very fervently to the detriment of everything that was not EQ. After playing through RoK, it was time to rejoin reality. It was an incredible experience playing, as I am sure many of you EQ vets can relate.

Fast forward back to the present: I spent the weekend exploring as a necromancer (class envy from my memory as a cleric). Spoke with some very nice players. The community seems very nice compared to some of the UO freeshard communities.

About myself: I enjoy power gaming, but EQ is the antithesis of instant gratification. So bracing myself for the long, slow haul. I have been reacquainting myself with game mechanics and geography as well as progression planning. Older, hopefully a little wiser, I'm keen to see where this new perspective and focus takes me.

My lovely counterpart, who is NOT a power gamer, but very devoted companion that has adventures beside me through almost a dozen MMO will be joining me and this will be her first experience with EQ. Until the petition is approved, I am giving her the head start in my place.
(as a disclaimer: I have noticed a lot of clamor on the boards regarding 2 boxing. Just to nip things in the bud, I'd like to think I have enough common sense and constraint to know better than logging on her legitimate account if she were not playing, even to buff..as that would be a violation of policy.)

Thank you for reading my loquacious introduction. And thank you in advance for all the welcome wishes. Look forward to adventuring with you all, soon.

I'm jealous, mine is still waiting for me to grow out of video games.

Welcome, it's a fun place, and I too have noticed how nice everyone has been. Enjoy the ride, no game quite like it.

Thank you again for all the well wishes. I played only one class those couple years because of the time commitment. I never even dabbled with other chars. Therefore, this is a completely new experience...seeing the world from another races' perspective.
