A Newcomer To EverQuest

Shodex · #1 01-25-2011, 11:54 PM

Greetings! I am a newcomer to EverQuest, though certainly not to MMORPGs. I came here after dabbling in EverQuest II: Extended... for 30 minutes. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I heard this game was actually worth playing, so here I am.

But I'm sure I'll learn quick, and I just thought I'd poke my head in and say hi, as community is a huge part of playing MMOs for me. If anyone thinks they'd like to hang out with "that new guy", I'm always down. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Welcome. This is going to be the toughest you've played. Good luck. Post your name/race/class I'll see if I have anything gathering dust you could use.

Thanks for the welcomes, I've decided to go with a Wood Elf Ranger. I'm hoping this was a good choice it usually is in EVERY other Fantasy setting. :P

You picked about the most worthless class in Classic, but are fun to play and I like to have them in my group =) Get ready for a ranger joke at every turn [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Going to die...a lot. But that's true of any class. It's funny how much rangers get made fun of, yet a ranger has the best melee DPS on the server, given he's got the 2 best weapons in classic, but that's a different story.

Rangers are a fairly decent class, you should know that they do have a 40% exp penalty for being a hybrid class. You won't get your duel wield until later in life in EQ. Archery in EQ is kinda sucky too, at least until disciplines are implemented.

When I started EQ back in 1998 (beta) - I started a Half-Elf ranger. They tend to be a little more durable than their WE companions. I didnt know enough to ever know how much I and my class sucked back then, but rangers are FUN to play, which is why I play video games. They are very versitile, and can be very valuable in many ways. The good news is, you'll be a minority on this server, which means a greater chance you'll get picked if someone needs your specific talents.
