I had a blast experiencing anew the excitement of being a real newbie! I know yesterday was a special situation since a LOT of people started a new character on Saturday. Therefore, on Sunday there were a LOT of people around levels 10-15 looking to group. The cooperation was fun, the experience bonus was crazy, and the chatting during down time was just like the good ol' days.
I was attacked by players only a few times. I knew to have my "Flash of Light" ready and was able to run like hell as soon as the root wore off. The fact that I survived suggests to me that the attackers were newbies just like me. I had a great laugh when I was attacked in the bank and watched as my attacker fled with a guard in hot pursuit.
The community here seemed quite welcoming. Thank you VERY much to the very nice ogre who saw my pathetic level 5 self, half dead, sitting to regen health and mana, and took pity, handing me over 500 gold, silver, and copper!! (I also received two nice weapons that I can sell when I figure out how that's done on this server.) My heart was racing as I gated home and realized that I was obviously encumbered as I ran to the bank--felt like I had a big red bullseye painted on my back!
A good time was had by all :-)

This, this, and this.
It's about excitement, folks. The playful kicks and slashes between melee during downtime, the unexpected root spell followed by buffs and heals, a whole group coming together to fight and protect a camp when another squad interlopes...
Newcomers, I know your heart started beating a bit faster when that humongous Troll Warrior appeared and started taking swings at you. Can you remember the last time you felt like that playing EQ? There's a level of danger here that gets me fired up.
Love this Server.
