Im sure something of this nature has been posted in the past, but I felt the need to have my own personal version told...
THEN:
I started EQ in June 2000 and really only played on Kunark through lvl 40 as an Ikky warrior. I didnt experience much of the old world content or what it was like to level up a new character in that time period off Kunark. I was a five year veteran on Rallos Zek and seasoned well, finishing my EQ run at lvl 67.
NOW:
Started a barb warrior and my wife who is a true noobie started a barb shammy. We leveled the typical route, Everfrost, Qeynos Hills then into Blackburrow through 11. I didnt know the maze of Blackburrow, thus I found myself printing maps again, lemenating them and putting them in a three ring binder by the computer.
We then made the trek to Freeport to battle in Oasis. I have NEVER leveled in Oasis or the like. So these croc groups and whatnot are all a learning experience. Two days in Oasis and Ive gathered a mix of Bronze and Banded armor and a Double Bone Bladed Axe for the little amount of money we have been able to scrape up. The groups we have had have not been the typical, we need X class for a great group or anything, its just been, keep the group full of whoever is LFG and keep killin! THE GRIND! Needless to say, I never thought I would have that old newbie feeling again other than seeing it through the eyes of my wife. That is no longer true and I am once again bragging about EQ at work to the guys I used to play it with! Thank you all for bringing this world back to us!
God Bless!
