Post LF Someone to guide me.

Hello.

I downloaded the game earlier, and after not playing since I was 7 - 8 years old (Now 17) I have no idea what I'm meant to be doing. I started in qeynos, and was unable to move at first and found out the settings had weird hotkeys, then spent another 10 or 20 minutes trying to figure out how to fix my camera after pressing O, and another 5 figuring out how to open my inventory..

When I had all of that figured out I couldn't find a way out of the city, so I figured it was a tutorial zone or something. In the water I saw a cave thing so thought I was meant to go down there, but nope.. Died and lost all my items. Yay.

Spawned outside of Qeynos I guess, in a zone I really recognize since when I was a kid and I have literally no idea what I'm meant to be doing. Anyone able to answer my questions along the way on Skype or something? Or if there's any guides on here the link would be nice. xD

My skype ID is: iloverivea

what you are meant to be doing is making pals and killing mobs for xp and pixels with said pals.

I couldn't even see anyone IG, so I was unable to ask for help. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
I also don't know if there's a global channel or what.

you might not like it but your experience is what we all started playing here again for that true just dropped in a world what the hell where do i go feeling.

yeah take the time to get your settings and hotkeys right it shouldnt be a huge deal.

Qeynos is a terrible starting area there arent a lot of other players in that area so if youre just starting dont go there start near freeport if your human/half elf

run around and learn your city.

theres no in game global chat anymore

This is the wiki site , http://wiki.project1999.com/index.php/Main_Page , it has everything youll want to know, maps of every zone, locatoins of mobs/vendors etc etc etc and a lot of useful guides for newer players.

biggest thing imo is to remember its not a race, games been out for 5 years a lot of people are set in their ways and you wont be the first to do anything. Take you're time, explore, talk to people as often as possible having friends will get you farther than anything in this game.

the wiki should answer most of your questions but if not just ask a lot of us are really helpful

If you torrented EQ Titanium your hotkeys are whatever the uploader's keys were (which are ridiculous for the version I got) ALT + O > Keys > Reset Default.

Feel free to /tell me in game if you need help, my character name is Kruptcy if you have any basic game mechanics questions... otherwise the exploration is all the fun!

xD Yeah, Alt + O was my options button. I guess I'll do the change to default thing. Didn't think of that for some reason. I'm about to get on and re-create my character at freeport as suggested above. Will post my name in case anyone wants to join me. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Lol. Well, I'm lost in Freeport. Can't find the way out, and whenever I do I run into loading screens. qq
Oh, and now my game has crashed and won't let me back on because I'm already logged in.

And once again, another "Not Responding" for 10 minutes. Guess I should just remake char. :l
