Full disclosure, I haven't played EQ since it went live decades ago. I don't remember a thing. I've played many games since then but always love the older school styles that don't hold my hand or can solo from 1st to max.

I have tried a few times to get started here but I'm really lost. Any basic tips to get started from day-1 and not be completely lost?

1. Suggested good first class/race?

2. Friendly(er) starting areas?

3. Do(s) and don't(s)

4. A friendly guild(s) who accept stray dogs?

Thanks!

1. Shaman, Enchanter, Druid are good first solo or group toons.

2. West Freeport is a great starting area. Just need a friendly port and bind, if not a human. Human very bad eye sight at night.

3. Have fun, meet new people, make mistakes. Don't take things personal if things go wrong in groups.

4. As others have mentioned. Adding Dawn Believers and Light House, I'm not sure, but tossing names out.
