Too old as in, I have to be in bed by 10pm to get up at 5am for work.

Then I was too old at 18 working full time to power game. Computer and 85 300zx wasn't going to pay for theirselves.

Not sure why the focus of this thread has become the word "old".....wasn't the intention.

I know. I just thought people would realize that the older you get, the more responsibility you obtain, and that is the real issue.

Yea, I understood it. It was more just about not having the copious amounts of free time to play all the time that a lot of us did in 1999. Or even really wanting to spend that much time in a game.

I think there's enough people in this boat that you won't be outleveled, though, and you'll be able to find groups throughout Green's lifetime. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if this was the norm.

You guys did make me feel a lot better about this. However, I have never even started a rogue before, so I don't know much about them, meaning this will be a 100 fresh new experience for me if I do it.

That being said, does anyone have any pointers for a new rogue? I take it I shouldn't go Barbarian because they will be blind forever and the darkness on green is for real, for real!

I don't think I should go human, but not because of the night blindness, but because of the fact that I have seen more players ask how to get to the rogue guild in Freeport than any other question in the starter zone.

Rogues are very easy. Stat priority is strength. You want the highest damage piercer you can get your hands on for backstab. Barbarian is a min/max class, halfling is decent stats with little higher exp bonus, dwarf is slightly behind barbarian but smaller and can see better I guess. I would pick between those 3 unless you just really like how another race looks. I would probably pick wood elf just for that reason. Rogues are probably the easiest class you can play so you don't need much advice. You stand behind the mobs and backstab, evade every time hide ability is up to reduce aggro. That is it.

I only play gnomish rogues and it works fine, their high INT makes for good tradeskilling like tinkering and much faster increase of many other skills [You must be logged in to view images.

A tip is to start practicing pickpocketing as soon as you get it but tell your group about it and be the main looter for them so you don't steal their share. [You must be logged in to view images.
