"Classic" classic - things I should know

[Larkverdin]

Back on live I came into EQ for the first time roughly halfway through Velious. I played a druid exclusively and didn't stop until the end of PoP. Here on P99, I started in 2014 with an iksar monk, got to lvl 39 then rerolled to the druid who's now 56. That said, with Green releasing soon, I am looking forward to rolling my first evil character and experiencing another side of my favorite game.

My question is this, what are some small details that someone who didn't play "classic" classic EQ might need to know? I've got a pretty good grasp on the game overall, but I'd like to hear about some of the things those of you who started in 1999 or started fresh with Blue back when it first launched, might know that I don't.
