Thanks everyone for the info, especially you Falkun!

Are people picky about character names, or will "Tecknologic" work?

People generally don't care, there are a lot of respected high level people with IMO extremely stupid names. You'd think that someone who played EQ 10+ years ago would have grown out of that by now! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Let me refer you to here:

In general though, people are pretty lax. Hell, I'm a bard with a name of "Deajay", noone's given me any flak for that.

Play a class you enjoy, that's the bottom line. Having previous MMO experience you probably know what you prefer in terms of tanking, healing, etc [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I say it to everyone, but if you start as a high elf/wood elf/half elf (in Kelethin)/dwarf of gnome...make sure you do the mail delivery quest from Felwithe to Kelethin repeatedly to hit level 6, it will give you cash and fastish experience, and saves battering the local wildlife to death!

Well said, Falkun!!

I'd just like to add that if you play an evil race, realize that you're evil. Accept that you can't go everywhere your High Elf friend can. Faction is very important in EQ, and it takes a lot of time and effort to fix it if you ruin it or if it was ruined from the start.

If you get faction for killing something, make sure you know what the consequences will be if you continue on your rampage.

This is also one of my favorite things in EQ; If you're a Dark Elf and want to be loved by Wood Elves, it's totally possible (for the most part).

I can't imagine starting off in EQ brand new. Here's a couple sites worth checking out http://wiki.project1999.org/index.php/Players:Adventure. And http://www.pro1999.com/.

Another thing to mention if you're coming from WoW or some other modern MMO:

Quest-giving NPCs are not readily obvious; there are no exclamation marks or other symbols floating over their head. You HAVE to hail everyone you meet and read the dialogue to find keywords that lead to quests.
