First time playing EQ

[Yushe]

Hello and as the title of this thread says this is my first time playing Everquest.

I've always been interested in the mmorpg genre but I never got super stuck into it until I one day I got interested in trying vanilla private server WoW. Which now that classic is out I sort of miss because it was much more challenging compared to classic.

I did try Everquest once in 2018 when I was vcing with one of my friends but quit within a 5 minutes because of all the ads telling me to buy things.

But so far on this private server I have been enjoying my time learning the game and leveling, I've also been occasionally streaming it since its probably entertaining to see someone who has never really played this game before stumble through it.
If you guys have any tips or info that might be useful I would really appreciate it, thanks.
