*I don't know anyone personally who plays EQ. What is the easiest way to find groups in the game?
/ all lfg
Got to places where groups form. ie along the beach at oasis. Ground floor at unrest.
*Is it a good idea to just jump into playing a hard class without any money or items or is it better to make a solo/farming character first?
That's a bit of an opinion question, but I would always start with a farming class. Probably a druid or necro.
*If a new player like me plays around 3-4 hours a day, around how long would it take to get to level 60, generally speaking?
As a new player, maybe 6 months.
*Besides being an Enchanter, is there any way to gain the appearance of another race?
There are various items. A common one iss the dark elf mask for rogues and bards which drops in guk. There are other ones for drarf and erudite I believe but I don;t know the details. hmm maybe gnome too.
*Is it possible to petition to get a name freed up if its no longer in use?
No
*Around when is Velious coming out? Is it something I should plan for or will it not be until much later?
I wouldnt be planning for it. who knows.
*What is going to happen to the server after Velious comes out? Any MMO eventually becomes boring without new content. I'm wondering if playing may ultimately be a waste of time if everything withers away in a year or whenever.
Velious isnt that far ahead that everything currently in the game will become obsolete.
*A lot of the screenshots of endgame Monks I see are holding goofy weapons like batons. Is it possible to play a Monk without being obligated at endgame to hold those goofy-looking weapons?
yes
*What class is in the most demand for groups at the moment?
Healers and enchanters both. Bards are usually welcome too.
