"Purest" Everquest Start

[Alorae]

These kinds of things pop up every once and a while and it gets a lot of people reroll and have some fun without twinking. Good luck guys and enjoy it.

So far we have a War+Cleric+SK, not sure when we are going to start probably in a few days when we can figure out starting races and what not and good timing for everything, so if people still want to join up let me know, and yes we will start a guild at some point to make our little "band" more noticeable.

good luck. however, nothing will ever be pure unless you do it on a new server from scratch. The economy changes to such a degree that you essentially cannot buy anything for market price and keep things pure. You essentially have to loot every item you get yourself, which of course isn't a pure experience.

I speak from experience.
But good luck.

ergo the quotations in the title

I would like to join the group! Although I've made a few prior attempts I've never actually made an EQ character past level 10. So any character I make will be starting 100% fresh with no money or twinking.

Willing to be any class. Preferably either a healer or Enchanter. Let me know! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

How the hell is "looting every item you get yourself" not a pure experience? To some of us the amount of platinum we have isn't everything, and we actually find joy in looting weapons that are tough to get with sharpened rusty weapons.

What are you talking about, Fael?

I think what Fael means is, medium-quality Kunark gear is so cheap on this server, that if you want a classic leveling curve, you need to not buy items. For example, if you start a newbie Paladin, you could get a Baton of Faith, which is superior to the best god/dragon gear in classic eq, for what... 200 platinum?

Some of my earliest EQ memories were of twinking and powerleveling, so I haven't the foggiest idea what you're on about. Day one: my friend handed me a BBC and said, "Go kill stuff."

So, you never played Classic Everquest.

Great to see people are still wanting to play Classic EQ. At this point a new server is needed, though, with modifications that actually allow the game to BE Classic EQ. The game will never again be Classic EQ if everyone already knows where the drops are, how all the quests go, all of the min/max specifics, etc. The entire playerbase needs to be figuring things out for themselves as they go along and actively participating in the game world, or else it's not a real RPG.
