Heroic Wow so ez that's why only 10 guilds have heroic throne of thunder on farm status, cuz after all, all you need to do is mash buttons and have DBM installed. Lol?

Or a lot of serious guilds dropped out cause the game sux now? PvP was the only fun thing in that game.

Welcome to EQ!

As a tip, it is highly encouraged to use /ooc and /shout on EQ the same way as you would chatting in The Barrens in WoW. You might even want to make a hotkey macro of some Chuck Norris jokes for this very purpose.

I dont quite understand why people take so much offense over hearing that EQ takes tons of patience, but very little skill. Does this make it less entertaining? Certainly doesn't for me. The PVP sucks (pvp was the best part of WoW imo) and the graphics suck. Doesn't change the fact that velious era EQ is my favorite game.

When you go back to WoW don't forget to get your add-ons.

Alright that wasn't fair of me. Honestly you have your opinion, I have mine. On that facet of understanding, we don't know who's right.

What I'm saying is, given the current raid scene. Competition makes it more challenging/rewarding. The fights aren't choreographed. The environment can randomly affect players on p99.

WoW is sooo hard that 5 year olds in China can get to max level and farm gold to sell to US players.

My advice:

Train 1 point in sense heading right away. Attach the ability to whatever key you use to turn (right or left). You can ask here for help, if needed.

Make a hot key /loc
If you are dying, try to remember to hit the loc key and hope you don't LD on your zone so you know where your corpse is. While you're at it, make a /corpse hot key. Invis to your corpse if you have the spell. Drag your corpse to safety before looting. You can ask here for instructions if you don't find directions to make hot keys.

You need food and water. You consume it automatically. If you don't have food and water, your health and mana won't regenerate.

The Kelethin lifts work. You need to click them three times slowly to activate them. Or look up and keep clicking until you see the lift coming down.

Good things:

If there is a piece of loot you want, you can farm it. While a random number generator determines how soon it will drop, it will eventually drop.

Zones. While it is important to warn in /shout or /ooc you are training the zone, if you do get into trouble, you can run to the zone line to lose aggro. When new to an area, a common practice is to play near a zone line.

In none of the 7 seasons of breaking 2200 in 3s/5s in arena did I ever find PvP as intense or skill based as that found on live Rallos Zek on a good day.
