New (very hopeful) Player

[Sowelharvest]

Hey guys. Old EQ fan here. Just tried another shot at the live servers... level 100....... I just can't. But I want to play the game again, I want lamentations to be cool and worth a few K, I want to kill old world dragons again. I don't want to grind for 12 months to start getting raid gear. Not that I even care about raid gear, but it takes waaaay to long to catch up to the main stream community now and I hate it.

That said, I'm dying to jump back in to the game. I would like a helping hand. I remember the first character in EQ, grinding for bags and spells and your first fine steel. Is there anyone who can spare enough in the way of a few bags and spell plat? I'm going to restart my necro I believe, may be a wiz or mag. Def a caster for first char, and it'd be nice just to grind with spells in hand and not sell every damn beetle eye and spider hair to inch my way through the levels again.

I don't want gear, don't want a twink, just something to let me grind and have spells. I want to be honest, I don't know if I'm going to be the next up and coming raider, but I hope to be. I miss this game soooo much and I can't wait to log in. Dusting off Titanium now.

Also, to every programmer who did this, I thank you all. I watched this project for years many years ago, last I checked there was a big hang up with elevator mechanics. So glad to see a community here, every "new player" thread and guild opening thread gives me hope. Thank you all a million times, even if I only get to level 8.
