I absolutely despise this game, but it's exactly what i wanted!

[GrimSloth]

Hey there! I'm new to Everquest and decided to start off from the roots. The game is absolutely kicking my ass and is pissing me off beyond reason because of the de-leveling mechanic, but god dang it, it's just the type of game I've always wanted to play! I'm a lv11 Enchanter called Eivor, currently loosing tons of xp trying to pass Kithicor Forest so i can reach High Keep.

I feel like a kid again playing this game. The lurking danger at every corner really helps me get immersed. The mature and super friendly community has made my so far short experience quite memorable and fun, so thank you! Also a huge thank you to the team behind this server. I tried playing retail, but for some reason it just didn't like my graphics card + I wasn't a fan of the redone lighting model. Classic just feels better.

P.S.

Special thanks to the top lads who bless you with Spirit of the Wolf. The true MVPs

Welcome!! It is definitely punishing/enraging, but fun!! Kith is terrible at night only, I believe (never spent much time there), so it might be worth waiting until daylight to try to venture across!

And amen re: SoW!! Life is sooo much better with it than without!

You've picked a tough class for a newbie.

If you're having too tough of a time, you might want to consider playing a druid, monk, necro or mage.

Do consider sticking with the enchanter, though. Your progression will be more than just levels, gear, and research spells; it will also include learning new tactics and how to capitalize on game mechanics. Enchanters have so much control. You really learn how the game works if you have an enchanter. However, it requires some grinding/patience/grouping/help to get to 12 for charm, 16 for haste, 29 for clarity, and so on.

Also, yeah, Kith will be a breeze if you go between 6am and 8pm.

Yeah this. Enchanters in my eyes are the best class in the game outside of end game raiding (like kunark+velious end game raiding) and also one of the coolest classes in any mmo i've ever played. It's unique because enchanters really do have a high skill ceiling, whereas a lot of characters in classic everquest do not.

There was a widely panned post by John Smedley, the bigwig at Verant back in the day, where he opined "people don't know what they really want, though they think they do".

Awesome! Teens is HARD for enchanter! but it gets better, and then really better at 29

Follow zone walls also, usually far less mobs along the walls of zones. Makes travel that much safer. Invis is your friend. But night time in kithicor means undead, undead see through regular invis. Make a hotkey for the /consider ability. It will be in the keyboards, mine is bound to V. When invis, target something and consider it. If it says regards you indifferently. It can't see you. If it says anything else. It can see you. Regards you dubiously, or threateningly , or scowls, ready to attack. All mean it will attack you on sight.

Dubious isn't kill on sight.

Ya, as soon as I posted it, I realized I might be wrong there. I always forget the faction levels.
