Life of a necro...

[Verterdegete]

Hey guys. I have a question about being a necromancer in EQ. I really liked what i read about them on p1999 wiki, that is - their independence and self-sufficientness (and especially their ability to summon their corpse). But, i also read that pretty much everybody hates them.
Does that mean that literally everybody except my starting town will kos me, or ill be able to enter "evil" towns or... ?
I'm relatively new to EQ so i don't know much about how rep and factions work in practice. I tried EQ on this server some time ago, but i rage quitted after i died at lvl 10 and lost my corpse with some good gear that some nice people gave me.
