New Player (Minimal EQ Experience)

[Llurendt]

Hello there!

I'm Llurendt and I've played many many MMOs (and games of all genres, really). I played a bit of EQ when I was a kid, around the time WC3 was still pretty new and I fell in love. by the time I had a regular job and income to support the habit, it seemed EQ was dead and gone (mostly) and I had moved on to other things. Since then, I've tried EQ Live, but it didn't feel right and the communities were... ghostly, to say the least.

This community looks and feels amazing already and I'd love to become involved, at least to some extent.

To start with, there are SO MANY race and class options that I've no idea where to even begin. I'll be reading through whatever I can find, but I haven't really seen anything like a 'new player guide' floating around the forums... In modern MMOs, I often play a healer or DPS, though I'm not sure if those terms even really apply in the same way to EQ. Any help is greatly appreciated!
