Downloading tonight and re-joining the fun!

[Havick_T]

Hey guys, really glad to see this happen. I heard something about it a while back but never new it was a emulator that was being made. That sad great work, I appreciate the hard work it took to make this happen. Any way, I'm logging in tonight after I download all the bit torrent goodies. I'll be starting fresh after about 7 yrs of not playing EQ :P

Curious as to what players are needing now a days for groups? I used to have a Rogue, Enchanter, and Wizard. So I can roll any of them pretty easily. Any suggestion on classes really needed here?

[Jeebus]

Glad to see new players and im going to give the cliche answer "play whatever you want". I know its cliche, but its truly what I believe. If you don't enjoy your class you're gonna be miserable. Every class in EQ brings SOMETHING to the table, even rangers!

[TheWhiteSamurai]

I think there are not many rogues. The Rangers are few in number 20 on at a time on a good day.

[Havick_T]

That's good to know. I just didn't want to roll a Enchanter or Rogue again if the server is saturated with such classes. Makes getting in a group a bit hard you know :)

Ya, it's been a long time but I can't wait to get playing again. Especially on a classic server. I stopped soon as Plains of Power came out. Just lost it's luster for me. That and DAoC was coming out and I'm a pvp'r lol what can I say :D

DAoC was out long before PoP arrived.

I agree with playing what you like, but only to a point. If there is a saturation of that class to the point of making it difficult to find groups, you will probably regret it, even if that is what you like playing.

I started as an enchanter, but after several disappointing evenings in the group finding department, I decided to start a druid alt. Sure, I could probably solo with the ench, but that's just it- I don't want to. So, I made the druid to have something to play when I get tired of waiting LFG (and with my patience, that happens fairly rapidly).

I will say that most of the calls I see for LFM are for tanks.

[Havick_T]

Indeed it did. I was playing both for a while. Hell I started out playing UO, and when this game came out I beta tested with a friend of mine. Thinking to myself how far games had come because it was in 3D lol. Times have changed :P

I reopened my account the other day and seen I had all of my chars still on there. I was actually shocked at Sony for keeping them around.

I thought I read some where that melee is pretty brutal on here. That creeps can actually hit you for full amounts rather then random several times in a row dang near instant killing you. That fixed or even a bug?

[Striiker]

Welcome! If you've been out for as long as you said, then you'll be happy once you jump on the server. It's great being able to return to those favorite newbie hunting grounds and actually see people running around killing and being killed. I tried many times to return to EQ live and could never get past the fact that all of my favorite zones were empty. I envision spending a lot of my time on this server and know that you'll love it too.

[Shannacore]

Hi! If you need a bind or a port to start out with let me know!

Thanks for the welcome, it will be nice to see the old stomping grounds. Being scared to swing at a even con mob because he may kill me lol. I remember thinking the first day of EQ in the beta that this is going to be easy. I mean I went from being a REALLY good UO player to a NOOB in EQ. I actually drowned in the pool in the Dark Elf area. To the much delight of my friend who was beta testing with me. I look back at that moment all the time thinking GOD I hated this game so much because I didn't know how to move around up and down in 3D lol. Ya, I was a noob. Lol good times. Looking forward to it tonight. Hopefully the downloads don't take to long. I have 3mg / 1mg Fiber so I hope it will go fast when I get home.

Lol I think that is to be true with all MMO's lol tanks are like healers needed but not much glory :P

/hug Thorns and regen is the greatest thing in the world. Lol my friend and I used to power level all our alts that way. Lol High level druids following around noobs with Thorns and regen after fights :P

Thanks for the offer I'll be calling for help I'm sure once I get going ;)

I don't have regen yet THANKS FOR MAKING ME FEEL BAD ABOUT MYSELF THOUGH.


Ill be on later, I can definitely do all the other buffs!

[Crone]

Pssh, you can't power level? Useless Druid. haha

[Havick_T]

Lol nooooo. :p

All good anything helps in the beginning. I remember doing the craziest stuff back when I first started playing. Like taking bears out of WC and running them to the zone line killing them down to NO hps. Using my enchanter to wipe their memories and zoning out to let my lowbie friends get the xp for the kill. Oh ya, we got inventive with it lol.

Thanks Shannacore cya in game :)

[Havick_T]

I'll try and find a nice place to hide before the angry druid ports you to a treant infested area. lol jk :P

[Havick_T]

So I've decided after doing some reading. Halfling Rogue is the way I'll go. Although I've never played a Warrior. Hmmm. Still think Halfling Rogue is fun. We shall see.

[ponyboy_nd]

I am also in the same boat. I just found out about this today and I plan to join as soon as my download is complete (probably tomorrow sometime). It's good to see an active friendly community as well. I'm thinking I'll probably roll a bard right out of the gates, it's a class I've always wanted to play but never got the chance. It's also nice to see this thread, I'm happy there are others starting out like me =)

One question, how will finding groups be while leveling up? I'm sure most of you have max level characters at this point. But I'm a group person and enjoyed my time grouping in EQ and hope it will be relatively easy to find groups while leveling. Or is everyone max level already at this point.

Glad I found this site and can't wait to join the fun! =)

[Crone]

You'll be surprised at the number of people not at max level. I'm level 23 and as a Warrior have grouped since level 4. It's a lot of fun.

[Auvdar]

Find me (Auvdar) sometime in game and Ill give you Auvdar's "Welcome to the server" package. Reach-around will cost you tho.

What kinda of a guy would I be if I didn't give a reach around.. dear god what d you take me for? A High Elf Wizard?

[mitic]

just be proactive when lfg or just start your own groups. i would never start a toon just because it is needed or not.

i wouldnt have a problem even as a ranger in any levelrange finding groups

[Tudana]

/wave new too and having a blast!

Who said you can`t relive your first MMO memories!!?

Last night, in Crushbone..when the crazy lag started...OMG the train at the zone in! was funny as hell..many poor dead newbies all scattered around the zone in trying to lag their way out through the Orc Cents to safty. hahah

PS: /who in crushbone between 7-11 est (when server crashed) was around 30~ people

good stuff

You'll be pleased to hear that there are players of all levels out there and getting into groups is not that difficult. Sometimes it can take some effort but it's no different than on the old live servers! I'm only level 12 and I'm having fun in the usual places.. I was in Black Burrow for a while and am now in Unrest (although I died on the bottom floor and still need to get my body back)
