I wanted to make a useful post here but its on page 12 already... I want to say this is better then classic. I never found a port in months and spent all of my classic playtime on odus / stonebrunt mtns getting to lvl 39 SK before I ever made it to ec. On our wonderful server druids are happy to accommodate you. This feature makes solo or grouping both much easier than classic.

"Stonebrunt Mountains" era of Everquest was not really Classic EQ. Sounds like you unfortunately never got to play real classic EQ. If you couldn't find a port, though, it's because you didn't know how. It was not hard back then to do a /who all for Wizards and Druids and get one eventually. Besides that, you could have just taken the boat to Qeynos and played in that area of the world, or ran to Freeport area after getting to decently safe level for the journey, if that's where you really wanted to be.

You mentioned that you were a Shadow Knight. Being an evil character was supposed to actually mean something in classic EQ and make traveling much more difficult. The game back then even specifically listed when making a character what the "difficultly level" of your Race/Class combination would be.
