Nah, there's no map, no compass, no floating marks above npcs to show quests. When you zone in for the first time it's like dropping into a foreign world you will have to explore a bunch to even find your guild or a guy that will buy your vendor trash.

Class defining spells and abilities are introduced earlier but grouping at level 4 is kinda necessary instead of soloing a thousand blues.

If anything, EQ seems like the easy mode compared to MnM. Very similar ruleset, except more punishing. You have to keep a spare spell book in bank or cant do spells on a CR. Cant even sell vendor trash except to specific vendors. Like meat to butcher npcs, trash weapons to like smiths, etc. Also, I would say the night blindness is even less forgiving then for humans on P99

This 100%. I could invite any of my casual friends to P99 right now and they would make fun of me and be like why did boomers think this was hard? conversely I'm on like 100+ hours and am just hitting level 11. I realize if I invited the same exact friends, even with infravision, they would all rage quit before hitting level 3 in the noob yard. dead ass!!!

Something that triggers me too lmao, on a side note. All these "hardcore" EQ veterans desperately begging for starter weapons... like bro, are you sure you wouldn't rather just play World of Warcraft? Of course the same exact people are on the discord demanding maps, and zero faction because in-game racism is hateful lmao

world war 3 cant get here soon enough because these kids needed it yesterday

i remember playing the playtest, i had to actually read signs in the town to find out where the class trainer was - it was very immersive. no /find, no map markers.. just reading artwork to decipher my location and the location of my destination
