Many first-timers to EQ say the exact same thing...you need to actually play the game past level 3 to see what it's all about. It's just like if you judge EQ when you're level 1, cause all you'd see are the ancient out-dated graphics. I've always had a much easier time bringing EQ people to DAoC, than the other way around, and once they've experienced what it's like to play with a group like the ones they're used to in EQ, they get to see why DAOC's PvP system is still considered to be the best to this day.

I've started this thread mainly to help DAOC first-timers coming from EQ, get started and actually have a good time playing, but because of the huge amount of players trying to play all at the same time, the queue system made it very hard to maintain a constant group.

Anyway, I've stopped leveling my main char the Mentalist at level 35, cause I'm 1L8 and want to keep having the option to RvR at mid-level rather than grinding non-stop and *maybe* experiencing it at 50. I've made a Warden (Detfree) a few days ago, and I'm enjoying it quite well so far, he's level 12 - if anyone here is starting a new char or already have one around levels 8-14, make a post here and we can form a group. A friend of mine has a level 15 Valewalker he's been grouping with me, and we're making friends from nearly every group we make. Also, from what I've seen the battlegrounds are becoming more and more active now, especially Thidranki (levels 20-24) and Caledonia (levels 30-35), so that's currently our destination with the melee/hybrid chars we've made!

My friend also happens to be a Weaponcrafter, so if you're playing a melee at lower levels, he can make you something way better than any drops you can get at those levels.
