Stopped at level 2

[Tecmos Deception]

New Swish sig is awesome.

The fuck? I'm a huuge slacker and practically exclusively solo and the first 5 levels (at least) were a blur. 6 months to level 20 is within my definition of fun.

And I tend to play race/class combos with exp penalties (eg, current main is iksar).

It took you 2 years to make level 2 and quit?

What are you trying to play (and how were you doing it?) that it is so ridiculously terrible that you can't make more than 1 level?


I mean. I guess if you're a naked level 2 iksar/troll shadowknight and you're killing level 1s to xp in a 75 ZEM zone, you'd need like 150 kills to get through 2. But that's a terrible grind because you're doing a bunch of things wrong, not just because classic EQ is "hard" or because you are impatient. Don't play a SK for your first p99 character. Don't fight in a shitty zone. Don't kill level 1s (2s are worth 4x as much xp without being even twice as tough). Get help from higher players. Etc.

If you can't bother to do any of that, then yeah, bye; there are other MMOs out there for you.

I'm not sure where all this agressivity is coming from (especially from "social" players), but i'll take some advice into consideration (like avoiding melee classes for a first char).

Well it's down now, but there is a wiki that has a wealth of information. It's very helpful to 1st time players and even returning people who have been gone a good long time. There is a link here some where that will at least get some of the pertinent first few pages. Certain classes have xp penalties, and most races do as well. It is a hard game compared to a lot of games that seem to give you everything right out of the box, not impossible [You must be logged in to view images.

Two years and 1 level I don't think they jumped on him about not using the wiki. You can start any class and get to level 3 in a few hours brand new and never playing any mmo.

Didn't say that.. sounded like a bit of complaining. Would think that is what people were getting on him about.

Don't forget to use the auto attack as well as the kick button skatergnome!

Leveling is hard? Can get to 51 in couple days played if you make friends with the right people [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

On live in 1999, no one grouped at level 2. Maybe some did, but it was pointless.

I think the first time I ever grouped I was level 5 or 6 and that was with guild sword and the 1 or 2 pieces of leather I could afford by then.

Seriously, rats and skellies till 3, then fire beetles. Every class can do that till 4.

BTW, saw a group at derv 3 in NRo just last night and a group at crocks in Oasis, so people are grouping at the levels required to progress.

Sounds to me like you just don't like EQ.
