A Word of Encouragement to New Players

[hikeon3]

I see far too many posts on this forum slamming the community here so I figured I'd post something to counter.

Let me start by saying this: If you are the kind of person who wants to spend your days farming the top end content Kunark has to offer; you might run into some kind of drama. I can't vouch for that.

BUT, if you're like me and enjoyed solo/group levelling in this game 12-13 years ago and want to re-live and re-experience the early/mid/late casual levelling game as it was back then; you're going to have fun and run into a lot of generous and kind people.

I've had nothing but positive experiences so far. Whether it has been random buffs, gifts of valuable (for a newbie) items, help with corpse runs and re-binding, or generous overpayment for simple early-game items; I've been having a blast and meeting great people at every turn.

Kudos to everyone. I've been playing here for 3 weeks now and I'm having a great time. I'd encourage anyone who loves this game to jump in and experience it here.

Yeah, server is a lot of fun.

Endgame was an extreme weak point for classic EQ anyway, the trip up is a lot more fun. As is making alts.

I would have to say that starting back up is awesome. Everyone is generally nice and it can be a rewarding way to spend some free time.

Also thanks to everyone who's sow'd and buff'd me during my play over the past cpl of nights its been awesome.

BTW 13 warrior lfg pst.

Another dirty secret: Those guilds that seem to always be getting lots of bad press-- won't name names-- contain lots of swell, generous types. Even in my brief 6 months on the server, I've stopped counting the helpful.

I would agree with you, I haven't even started playing yet but I have been casually browsing these forums for about a month now just reading about the server. I am excited to start playing the version of EQ I loved. I started when Kunark was first release and played all the way up to PoP and then quit. I recently tried playing again on the live servers only to be disappointed with being able to solo everything with Mercs and not having to look for groups and enjoy the community.

I'm looking foward to actually having to group again to get things done unlike every other game I have played since EQ.

If you have any sense stay off of the Forums. Reading the crap on here makes it sound like this is the worse server in the world. It is just the other way around. The Devs do their job a lot better than people see. It is pretty hands off and that is great. Glad to see new blood on here.

Ignore us old, grumpy turds on the forums. We are bored. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yeah I'm not overly worried about it. Just hard not to notice all the bashing going on, and if I'm going to be playing on this server I will definetly be on the forums from time to time so whatever. I just want to enjoy my favorite MMO again.

Heh, I enjoy the bashing on the forums and top end guild wars is all part of the game. If the top guilds didn't have to fight for mobs and be challenged, would they really still be playing or quit from boredom?

Touche sir. I mean really that was part of the game being so much fun for me, you finally find a group after say 30 - 1 hour of searching only find out that the spot you wanted in some zone is already taken by another group. The realistic competition for mobs was awesome, not like the damn instanced zones for everything now.

Like most things in life, this server is better if you're illiterate.
