How can this game be any fun when the community is so sh*ty?

To those saying that I'm having a fit cause the game is too hard: I played UO before pvp was optional So, no the game isn't too hard. Nice try trying to shame me for havi g a life and being unable to dedicate my life to this game.

As I said I love this game. I couldn't play it when it came out because of some personal-family-financial issues. I was poor back in those days. I had to share the UO account with a friend of mine back in the day.

I've totally stopped playing wow because of this game.i even tried EQ live and it's a total shitshow. I lasted maybe 15 minutes before I got back on here.

Let me be the first to shame you for making a giant post blaming everyone else for your own mistakes and misunderstandings around game mechanics which none of us invented. Who cares if you’re a newb, welcome aboard, but take some of your own advice and be an adult too.

Edit. I read the rest of this page. Thank god TD is on it lol. I can’t even right now ��

Most people would prob be willing to help you with a plat transfer. There are usually a lot of people doing their auctions in the East Commonlands tunnel, so they are usually willing to help with transfers since they're just standing around there anyway. It's pretty rare to find a scammer and (no offense) 60pp is not a lot of money for most people at this stage so they're not going to risk getting banned over scamming you for that so you should be totally safe.

So use the character that you originally used to put the money in the bank to take it out, then run them over to the tunnel (not far from Neriak). Then run your new character there so you're easily able to switch over the them once you give someone the platinum on your original character.

You could do this in any other zone too, of course, but since EC is the auction hub I figured I'd mention that one since there are always a lot of people there.

Side note, when playing an evil character (class or race (also, worshipping an evil deity/religion can sometimes make an otherwise "good" class/race have problems as well)) always make sure to right click or /con on everything so you know if they're gonna kill you or not. Read the guides on the Wiki it will help.

All banks in EQ share the same inventory. So, you don't need to go into Neriak to access whatever is in your bank. Just go anywhere.

You cannot access the bank of another character, even from the same account. So, I don't know what you mean by "I don't have a toon that's strong enough to go in there and get it."

If you want to transfer loot from one character to another on the same account, camp both toons at the same spot, somewhere remote that no one might randomly walk by. On the character with the goods you want to give, drop them. Quickly camp and log in as the other character. The goods will be sitting on the ground in a bag. Money may or may not be dropable like this. If it isn't, buy an item that sells for nearly what you pay for it. Drop those items in the same way described above, and pick them up with the second character. Sell the items back to nearly what you bought them for. You will lose a little in "commission", but that is the price you pay for not trusting someone to hold onto your money for the 20 seconds it would take to do the transfer. Really, the best thing to do might be to use the 60pp to buy some low level armor and weapons, and transfer that to the new character to actually use.

Finally, 60pp sounds like a lot when you are level 1, but it really isn't much. Get to level 15 or so and you can make that in about an hour. Or at even lower levels, learn a bit of tailoring and you can turn ruined pelts into 60pp fairly quickly, all while leveling. I find the best place to do this is in Everfrost. Just watch out for the Vengeful skeletons.

I have had a majority of cool people help me out, give me gear, port me for free, buffs, and help me through rough areas. I try to help others when I can. I am sorry you had such bad experiences. I love this community, I feel like we are a bunch of dads unplugging from adulting for a bit when I hop in.

I love this game. I love not having to follow gold exclamation marks around and killing or gathering x thing to give to random bob. I love how there isn't an implied rush to end game.

I am just so frustrated that I have a small fortune and I can't touch it because the dark elf starting area is the video game version of hell. Hardly any mobs, big ass golems just wanting to crush you into the ground for being in their sight. I have begged people to help me get it but, all I get is "Roll a dark elf" and its like "I fucking hate that race."

I tried rolling a gnome Necro but, that turned disastrous when I got too close to a guy that didnt like necros and got killed with all my money and loot too close to him. I begged for help and I was just ignored. One guy, another newb, even sacrificed himself to help me try to get it when no one else would.

I am sorry. I love this game but, there are times like these that make me want to just fully uninstall the game.

You sound like you need to acquaint yourself with the newbie guides on the wiki, slow yourself down, be more patient, and join a leveling guild where you can ask questions. Cause boy, have you got a lot of things wrong.

You're making newbie mistakes (like apparently attacking golems as a dark elf, cause they won't normally attack you, or wandering close to "good" NPCs as an evil PC) and then going into a frothing-at-the-mouth frenzy on the forums when you didn't instantly get your hand held through the very beginning, simplest stages of the game.

After reading this second post by the original poster, I smiled a little inside... And I totally feel empathy for him lmao! He doesn't sound like a bad dude or anything, he just sounds like the 13-14 year old me in 2000 on my first day of everquest and how fustrating it was cause it was SO hard. Okay now compare him playing in 2020 after he's been playing all these easy video games and then runs into EQ (LOL!) Here's some advice tho ..stick with it! It'll become funner and easier I promise, that hardness your feeling is part of the everquest experience.. trust me. I remember those days well haha

It doesn't sound like you "love this game". In fact, if getting lost in Nek forest or w/e you're on about is the cause of such frustration, you will absolutely not enjoy the game. The community is what you make of it. 95% of the people are mad chill land happy to help.

You can make level 1 alts that are not kos to drag your corpse for you in situations like Nek Forest. You can consent offline characters (even your own alts). Consent and then swap to your alt to drag it to safety
