Default New to EQ!

Yes, believe it or not, I have NEVER played any of the EverQuest games.

I'm tired of current MMORPG's. They're just blah. I've played WoW for too long and nothing else can hold my attention longer than a couple of weeks.

So after a couple of days of research, I've stumbled upon P1999. I hear not only is EQ a great game all in all, but P1999 is doing it right. The live version of EQ is no good (so I hear) so I'll be making P1999 Blue (I believe that is the PvE server) my home for now.

I look forward to getting ingame here within the next few hours and meeting new friends, and experiencing what I've been missing out on for all these years!

Cheers everyone, to a new beginning! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hell yea, great to hear it. And welcome.

EQ is a very challenging and sometimes unforgiving game, but if you stick around long enough you will find out that these are some of the reasons why it's such a great game.

Be prepared to be transported to a time before all those luxuries existed, like maps and compasses and quest logs.

EQ is an imperfect game that frustrated even a returning veteran like myself. But the longer I play it, the more those imperfections seem less like flaws and more like video games ought to be. This game is immersive, a world you truly must enter and understand to enjoy. I've tried introducing numerous friends who can't get past level 1 because they get bored, or irritated, and go back to those flashy games they are used to.

Too bad, I say.

I'm ready for the challenge! I'm tired of the hand-holding, non-challenging game that WoW and many other games are today. I'm ready to be immersed and sucked into a world again!

I'm so pumped just thinking about it, the chance to really be amazed by a game again. As soon as I get ingame I'll stop by this thread and put my IGN here. Hopefully I can get Darreth.

And thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

Let me know if you need any suggestion on race/classes to start with. I'm assuming you've seen the wiki, it has a pretty good writeup on all of that also.

Nice to see a nice face, I don't believe there's a better game that will ever exist than classic EQ.

I got one of my coworkers to join and he never played as we. Is now level 20 and enjoying the shit out of it.

Prepare for good times.

Should also note that my friend had also never played MMOs before so he is a true newb.

Being a "true newb" was so fun when I started EverQuest, plus I was in 3rd grade so I was practically a newb to reality, learning english and improving my typing on EverQuest, understanding and spelling words on spelling tests that I learned from EQ... Heh.

I think I was 14 or 15 when I started but I vastly improved my typing skills. For what it's worth too you see lots of unused words as well in the dialogue and learning about mythical creatures is awesome.

To the OP: best of luck out there, there are tons of great guides out there but the best of all is just doing it. Gonna be some good times ahead for you. Throw my on your friends list and I can help you out when I'm online.
