Yeah the first time I played live EQ back in 99, I think I rolled a human wizard and immediately died like ten times in a row and gave up and went back to playing UO for like three months. Eventually came back to EQ and made a barb shaman and by the time I made it to level 5 I was hooked.

Lots of generous people here though who can hook him up with some starting plat and maybe a decent weapon which makes the first few levels much more bearable.
