New to EQ

[wanderica]

Hi all. I've been playing MMOs for a very long time, but somehow never played EQ. I've played EQ2 lots, but never the OG. Once you get past the old visuals, there's a LOT to this game, even early on in it's life which has left me with a few questions.

1.) so far, I haven't seen a ton of people running around in the towns. I assume they're all out adventuring?

2.) Where in God's holy name is the Rogues guild in Freeport? I've played this toon for an hour and a half already (even managed to snag a Fine Rapier from a nice Necro killing guards), but for the life of me, I can't find the rogue's guild. /s Pretty sure Sense Heading would be maxed by now.

3.) When do people usually start grouping? I've seen zero chat going on so far.

4.) How's the UK and EU population? I work nights in the US and tend to sync better with EU and UK playtimes.


Thanks for answering yet another list of newbie questions. See you all in-game.
