I had ~20 friends pick up EQ this weekend to play on Project1999, and I threw together this website to help them get started.
I know the wiki has great info and guides, but this covers the really basic beginner stuff. If you want your friends to play, this may be worth showing them.

The forums are specific to my friends and I, but the rest is a work in progress, FFA.
Thanks!
