I played EQ shortly after Kunark released until little after Luclin. I remember receiving the game from my uncle not having any experience with MMOs. He also gave me a old Kunark guide ...with stories, classes, races, and basic MMO etiquette. I remember logging on a wood elf druid ...like my aunt had. At first I want to say it was a tad bit over whelming ... mostly because the N64 and EQ were so much different.
I played for a day after being killed by some dwarf skeletons I didnt log back on for a month or so. After a conversation with my uncle about paying the fee so I can log back on and my playing more then once in a month ... I continue playing this time however going against my aunts advise about evil characters and not being able to go anywhere or do anything due to faction, I create a dark elf necro and someone gave me a black robe (enshroud?) I had blast from that point until just before PoP. At that point I couldn't afford it nor could I talk my parents into paying for it ... then I find EQEmu in one of its earliest forms, became a type of GM of Counselor on some short-lived server...but it wasn't the same.
8 years pass before I give the game another shot ...so I log onto live. My aunt and uncle traders are still selling stuff ...after 8 years. I think to myself how much I missed EC tunnel, log out and the next day I'm here.
I was very surprised that I had found a "classic" server on the emu ... I suppose back in my emu days classic wasn't really sought after. Just wanting to thank everyone who put this together.
On to the questions -
Ive browsed through the site, faq, rules but still some questions.
From my understanding there are a few major bugs due to using the Titanium client and trying to make a pre-titanium game .... or something along those lines. Any of them worth mentioning? Dont go here ... dont do this ect ect.
How are factions working? If I take an iksar ...well anywhere ... will I get the appropriate response?
EC tunnel? If I go to EC will I see /auction /shout /ooc of Bag of goodies at T1 or any variation of sales going on classic style?
Hows grouping? I notice there are around 600 players on average. Is it safe to assume that I will be able to find people fighting in CB, Unrest, and some of the lower end dungeons?
Last question:
I didnt get any sizable amount of plat until after luclin released ... how are people doing it here? Giants? Thats one of my main worries ...having platinum to enjoy the game. So if anyone has any "secrets" and dont mind sharing with just me (promise) please PM me =D
