I'm the same. I started on red and a druid gave me some stuff but it wasn't super OP items, but they definitely were an upgrade, but this was after I had been grinding for days in The Feerrott and wasn't making any exp gains. Was stuck at like lvl 5. If I went anywhere else I just couldn't kill them. (Later learned there were other options like in innothule swamp near a guk or something) I didn't want to be ported somewhere and given a bunch of awesome high level gear and skipping through levels like a breeze. So I asked the druid what would a person who was starting where I was without any help go? And he answered that and other questions. I just wanted to understand the real experience a player has when the server starts and there is no one to give hand me downs. He showed me lower guk or maybe it was upper, I have no idea. So confusing. We floated through some zones with levitate, was kinda funny following a midget through a swamp. Then he said the place I ought to go next for leveling was Crushbone. He ported me there, showed me some stuff and even told me about the shiny brass shield from the orc trainer. Then bound me when I was okay with it. So I spent a few days in there grinding and would meet people and form groups. I loved forming groups cause I had low dps and a long recovery time between fights(im shaman). I did group with this Fungal Tunic monk named Civec and that made it very easy.
Also, I got the shield because I persistently farmed that Orc Trainer. It has a neat glow around my character.

Resting with an adorable cleric dwarf.

Only problem now is my brother who was supposed to play EQ with me isn't playing it anymore...

Paragraph much?
