New Player

[Nightcrusher]

I am very excited about playing on the Project 1999 server. I was a bit frustrated when I could not use my current installation to get on, but I finally found a copy of EQ Titanium and it is on it's way. For now, I am just browsing the forum and getting familiar with the world, so hello everyone. :3

I used to watch my brother play classic EQ as a child. However, once I grew up and joined myself it was during the Planes of Power era, so the game went through some significant changes. But what I have seen, I have missed a great deal of content from the past game. So when Sony announced their progression server I tried it out and was amazed at how fun the game could actually be at the basic level. However, I was dissapointed at all the raid guilds that progressed the server too quickly, so I could not enjoy it for long. I hope that I can experience classic EQ again through this server, and see once again what made this game truly amazing. My favorite classic EQ quests are those for Ghoulsbane and Soulfire (hopefully this time I can beat lady vox and nagafen and get the fiery avenger and defendor this time around).


I know that once I install titanium, a lot of features I am used to in newer EQ versions will probably not be there, and the old world will be completely foreign to me (PoK book eliminated the need to travel much). So I would like to know what you all think is a good place to start. What Race should I pick as my first character, What class should I be first, and What Deity should I pick? Preferably one that dosen't get me slaughtered in a bad spot, I heard this game has "Corpse runs".
