It mostly is... Gather as many people as possible, in the best gear possible - hope no one's an idiot and try to take down the boss mob. It's not as forgiving as other MMO's - one cleric could not possibly keep the main tank alive during the bigger fights. In Kael - TOV (Velious) and other spots you might need 5+ clerics in a 'chain heal' to keep the main tank alive. I guess even Kunark needs some chain healing too, with the gear available to us and such at this point. The first 'chain' heal I ever recall doing was the dragon in Skyfire Mountains for the.. Cleric? Epic weapon. If DPS starts going all out at the start of a fight - such as it common in WoW, DPS will be on a corpse run. The Main Tank needs *solid* agro, you likely can take one or two hits if you are in cloth from a boss mob that's you appropriate level range anyway. A wipe in end game here, doesn't mean rez at the soul rezzer and run back - in some places, like Chardok expect to spend 1000's of PP on corpse summons or possibly even hours to get bodies back. | |||

This game is incredibly unforgiving compared to other MMO's. That's half the challenge - you know dying isn't trivial. Your bind point matters, adds matter. In WoW they didn't. I half lazy in WoW because CC was so irrelevant sometimes. In EQ, CC is life/death, and a few adds can smash your group badly. That's part of the fun though - it's not easy. It's not hard if you're following the right rules, but it's not easy. | |||

So, its not late for us to start?
I came here few months ago, and i wanted to start playing the game but i had trouble with my Internet connection (Wireless) so i couldn't play properly. Now im on broadband and i'm eager to start. I only need few words of encouragment that everything is gonna be all right [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. | ||

Everything is gonna be all right. Sky should be ready soon, which is gonna take some pressure out the hi-end. And Kunark should open it wide up. I will say however, that if these things don't change the end-game as it currently stands, well...let's just hope it turns out the way I think it will.

More for the OP if you have never played EQ before...
Welcome aboard. The only rule is, have fun. Turn in your guild note. Then explore; Hail the the various NPCs and follow the quest lines of any you find; consider NPCs from a distance before you get close to them (guards in other cities for example)... Get yourself lost. Do quests just because they are there. Take a boat ride. Learn your way around all the major cities. Give 2 gold coins to the table dancers in Neriak 3rd gate! Collect bonechips from decaying skeletons and sell stacks of them (/auction) in the EC tunnel. Buy yourself something nice with the proceeds. Basically, try to avoid the (kill/loot/repeat) grind and you'll probably have a lot more fun. Sure, you'll do that from time to time to level, but if that's all that you do, then you'll turn into a bitter level 50 with nothing to do, since its all you know how to do. Anyway, most people here would love to be in your shoes and be exploring Norrath for the first time. You're one of the lucky ones! | ||

It's too late to start on live, but not here. And I disagree with the earlier posters that say just grind grind grind. To me, that's not very fun. It gets you to level 50 quickly, but it's not like you'll be the first to level 50 and "win" the race to 50.
Some of the quests can be kind of fun and get you a nice item. You can check out http://everquest.allakhazam.com for quests. About half of the quests even in Freeport won't actually be there, as they've been added sometime between 1999 and now, so therefore aren't on this server, but it's a place to start. Exploring can be fun too, most of these guys have been playing for 10 years, so exploring isn't nearly so fun for them, but back in the day, I had a great time just running around and seeing everything. The earlier posters are right in that part of the draw is that it's not all handed to you on a silver platter and you can't get to max level in a few days of soloing like WoW. And many classes can't solo effectively so you have to work together to progress. You get dropped in the middle of a city with a newbie weapon and part of the game is figuring out what to do, both by trying it out and interacting with other folks. | ||
