What did you learn from the first Green? Let's chat!

I dont port people because it takes too long and the tips are horrible

1. Don't start as an Enchanter.
2. Don't get frustrated with your day 1 enchanter and try to swap to a Troll Shadowknight because OH BOY you forgot about class and race XP penalties.

Use GINA,
a great timer utility. It can time spell durations, mob spawns and just about anything else. It takes a little bit of time to configure but it's worth it.

Use ZlizEQMap
a great map program.

Both of these programs use the log files so they are allowed on P1999.

Why not chanter though?

Welcome in all groups.
Can solo, can solo VERY well post 30ish.
Can farm cash camps and it's not too stressful either in Classic.
Need no gear

Sure, you lack goblin ring but eh.

No Breeze and no clarity = no fun time for chanter.

The biggest thing that I learned about Green is that you really should just roll a Necro or Mage when you start. Once that toon is 50, you then start your real toon.

Haha yea, level 39 mages complaining about how broken the pet spell system was and how they could barely kill blues (and in fairness pet research was broken in early classic) ... meanwhile I’m on my level 12 melee with a combine longsword getting killed by greens with three times the /played like “you guys can solo xp?!”

Wow buddy no need to flex that longsword so hard, yeesh.

This is partly why I am not very interested in any new green server.

Having to play X class and farm in order to play Y class that you actually enjoy, meh.

I think the grind overall is a killer for me and I think if I ever do play on a green server I'd wish to keep it to a minimum. I.e. avoid classes that lead you down the grinding rabbit-hole and instead just go with ONE class and focus on grouping and having fun.

Now I'm thinking Cleric or Druid or Bard, and I'm somewhat on the fence on the bard due to the xp penalty and how it actually CAN get crazy expensive if you decide to go all the way with drums of the beast and whatnot.
