New Ogre, want to group with people

Meriakh · #1 12-14-2016, 12:41 AM

This is my first time playing everquest in probably 15 years. Hoping to get on here to have a good time and meet some people. I'm also fairly new to everything EQ seeing as it's been so long, so was hoping to find out some things.

I noticed i have only 8 bag slots. Can I get more? Am I missing something obvious here?

How do I actually talk to people in game? As in, talk to global, etc. I was hoping I could chat while I'm slaying spiderlings and such.

You can get more bags for your bag slots, yeah. Each of those slots can hold 1 bag. You'll probably want to have one or two of those slots free for a lightstone or clicky items or whatnot. If you're an ogre, Broxx Boxtripper or whatever in Oggok sells containers.

There's no global chat in old Everquest. /ooc will chat to your zone, /tell <playername> will talk to players directly, /say will talk to people in your immediate vicinity, /shout is like /ooc except your text will appear in red.

Welcome back, btw =)

Also, when someone has messaged you directly, you can just tap r (without hitting enter) and it should automatically fill in the /w thatguysnamehere for you!

Gonna go see this ogre and what his face looks like.
Wether has hope or not in the world out there.

Welcome to the server!

Thanks for all the welcomes! Are there any named mobs I should try farming at the lower levels?

Welcome!!! I'm new as well and if you happen to make your way to the Kurns, I will see you there!

So I just got a halberd to drop - I managed to get 8 bags for myself as a person gave me a little plat to buy some. I could not put the halberd in my bags so I had to destroy it. Is there anything I can do to avoid that?

Found him, was ugly as sin. Lazy eye and drooling from mouth.
Probably won't return from jungle alive, devoured by spiderlings sooner or later.

Have a bag that is giant or drop one of your eight bags in bank and keep an open space in inventory
