new player intro
Just saying hello! I should be in game tonight. I've read many posts in this forum over the last few days, you all seem very helpful and the community seems pretty decent thus far. I look forward to playing a vanilla EQ again!
EQ was my first MMORPG... I recall going over my friends house and taking turns playing his beta account. I got the game the day it was in stores and basically left real life behind me for a few years haha... I quit around 2001 to play DAoC where I became even more addicted to gaming... Anyhow! I read a lot about new players taking the Gfay route. I'm more interested in playing an evil race. Back in those days my main was a SK (SK main in eq2 now)... I'd like to give that a shot again. I'm stuck between Troll and DE right now but I feel I'm going to struggle even more starting in those newbie zones... Am I digging my own grave right off the bat by wanting to play there? Troll is probably my number pick for my SK but the xp penalty atop of the hybrid penalty sounds horrific. Any insight on this? My next thought was to build a Bard (my alt in old days). I have been reading some old posts (2010) regarding issues with song twisting in low levels. Is this still a problem? Thanks for your feedback. [You must be logged in to view images.

First, welcome back!
Second, I hate to break it to you this way, but this isn't technically vanilla anymore, now that Kunark has been released. And third, play what you enjoy playing! Trolls and DE's don't have too tough a time running over to EC and begging buffs in the tunnel, and you can rush through levels (3-11 or so) pretty darn quick that way! Bards function 99% the same as live (charm-kiting is the only real excpetion), so they're fine too! | ||

Great! Thanks for your replies. Think I'll try a few spots out and see what fairs well with me. Looking forward to the challenge. I may be responding again soon, though your guide and the wiki in general should cover most of my questions. Thanks again.

If you end up on Faydwer as a Gnome, Dwarf, High Elf or Wood Elf (EDIT: Or even a half elf!)... consider the mail delivery quest from Felwithe to Kelethin over killing the local wildlife, it will get you to level 6 or so a lot faster and you'll have gold in your pockets for the spells you might need, or equipment if not!
Good luck [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||
