Thanks for the tips everyone.. I got the game mostly going okay w/out the WinEQ, got the arrow keys resolved, swimming I figured out.. gotta hold down and not just press PGUP/PGDOWN to get it to work.
Created a Qeynos bard and got him to level 7 using a rusty long sword and some starter equipment from the beginner area in N Qeynos and eventually went off to Qeynos Hills and Blackburrow. Would have liked to seen an upgrade or two drop from either of these zones but absolutely nothing drops from anything that tops the equipment from the starter zone, its literally the exact same stats with a slightly different name. Couldn't find any quests for an upgraded weapon, besides one for a staff for a DRU/RGR from killing rarish gnoll hunters that I found out I couldn't get the quest for after the fact of camping both parts. Doh. Wanting to upgrade that rusty sword I heard P1999 has the old bazaar type thing going on in ECL tunnels so decided to try going there and tring to buy something. Started asking around about directions and found out the easiest path was going through Highhold Keep. After a lengthy journey (with focused Selos mind you), up the longest ramp ever, I finally get to Highhold Keep and guess what? There's high level KOS critters blocking the way. After dying on the way back and doing a prolonged corpse retrieval to some dumb enchanter epic npc that killed me in one shot I tried sailing down to Erudin to see if I could get through that way. I guess I missed a platform cuz I ended up on some Kerra cat island and proceeded to have my head bashed in by some madman and had to do another lengthy corpse retrieval. After consulting even more maps I found a way a super duper DOOPER long way through the Southern Karanas and Feerot and about 5 other long ass zones. I can't even imagine what it must be like for others to do this run without SOW or bard speed. Well as luck would have it a druid happened to be in S Karana so I politely asked for a port. "I can't port individuals he says". Oh sh!t that's right, only wizards get that. Another DOH! About halfway through the zone got ambushed by a werewolf and died in 2 shots. Okay... I give up. Yep, I'm done with this. Good luck to everyone that has the patience to play this game, I tried my damndest but anyone that isn't a druid or wizard is screwed in this gig. Peace, y'all. Thanks for letting me try it out its a great game just wish they would have created a better boat system so knuckleheads could actually get where they want to go. My whole 34 plat I had saved up probably wouldn't have even bought me anything worthwhile anyway.
