The easiest and simplest class to play?

The one I prefer is called ZLiz as it uses the old EQAtlas maps which just look better.

I'll leave it to the Linux nerds to explain if it can be done with your setup though, I don't know. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Got it to work in Linux! Thank you so much! Well it crashed after few seconds, but it properly marked my location. So even if it constantly crashes, if I can run it for a few seconds, to figure out approximately where I'm, and what is around me, that's all I really need. I ran it on blue, but I'm assuming it is OK to use it on green also? (since only reads logs, and plots outside of the game)

Halfling Druid is like the rogue of the caster classes [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I concur that it is fun to play and chill.

Why in the hell am I thinking of making a dark elf magician right now.. especially instead of a superior enchanter.. a weaker class, with an impossible epic..

It is only impossible because you were told it was impossible. Now go prove them wrong.

Dark elf mages look cool with Helot skull helms and Mage epics and gloves of rallos zek. Throw on a pair of GEBs and a Crimson Robe of Arudene and you can taste the rainbow.

pure melee just sucks without a discord of pals, hybrid is an okay compromise since you can still solo just not at an ideal rate

Ashamed to admit, still on lvl 1. Not much time for play, maybe tomorrow I get few hours in.

I have 2 kills/wins so far and 4 deaths. With body chased far away and I have no clue where. So I created new toon. Clicked on guard, to see if there is something interactive with him and it was. He killed me on the spot! lol That's how I got 4th death.

Druid starts with thick skin protection buff, heal and weapon. I was sure that will be enough to mop with the creatures. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Here comes by Klaknak Drone (i think), I attacked and he would not die. At least not before me. Looks like it is not the weakest one. After i re-spawned, I figured out, there are creatures more equal to my lvl. So I eagerly attacked one. Only to found out I had no spells, no weapon... Then I recalled, I did read about it, I should go to my corpse first, duh! Died second time.

OK got to my corpse, got my stuff back, buffed up and I was ready. Finally!

Bat! My level. Easy peasy if I can reach him. Snake, my level, killed both. Then next snake, running away, I was chasing it when some player fly by me.

Come to find out, it was not a player, but some bloodlust Bixie Drone. I started to run toward the guards. Little problem was, I had no clue where guards were. Can I outrun it? I tried, running some one minute or so. Who knows where. Then he cougth me. Third death.

After that I'm standing next to guards, thinking what to do next. Corpse is who knows where... Someone probably noticed my struggles and he traded me nice, blue pair of gloves. (I wrote your name down, good soul, will try to pay back some time in the future).

Gloves looks nice. No way I was going to search for my corpse miles away. I would die again and lose gloves. (at that time I didn't know if there is bank around or where it would be) So I created new toon, that guard killed on the spot for right clicking on him. One day i will be back and then this guard will see all the marbles!

Then I ran out of playing time. Can my first toon send gloves via email to second toon? Or is there a way to share items through bank slot? In the mean time I found bank, so i can save gloves in it, if I decide to go search my corpse with first toon. But bare hands, no food/drink for regens, not knowing where I died, I'm not that inclined to go this route.

Anyway, fun start lol I will remember this one :-)

p.s.
Have some tweaking to do. Computer completely froze solid during the game. Only reset helped. That's not good, can add to my deaths count, so i need to experiment and figure out how to get more stable system.

p.p.s.
I see (you tube video) some players have compass at top of the screen. I need to get one, first priority. (or are those videos from blue server, is compass available on green server?)

Sooooo classic! Congratulations on having these experiences.

Do you know how to strafe-run? If you run forward and hold right click and also try to turn, you end up running diagonally. This makes you slightly faster (because EverQuest physics). You can outrun mobs with normal runspeed this way. Cats, though, not so much.

Its interesting how many old games this worked on but how few new games it does. If you add the movement of two vectors you run along the hypotenuse which is longer than the two right-angled sides. Somehow it went from common programming to a beginner's blunder

LOL this is hilarious! Congrats on those experiences, and welcome to the game newbie!
