Should be about an hour before they give up and go play WoW.

Yeah they'll realize how flawed the game is with most of the difficulty being layered on artificial time sinks.

Though this isn't the mid-late 2000's anymore, WoW hasn't been the go to thing in quite a while.

EQ has far more difficulties than just timesinks. I sort of started thinking like you recently. But then I decided to make an alt and lvl said alt without any help from my other toons. Man it's really challenging starting all over again. Most of my previous alts I automatically drop 10k kn gear so I forgot how tuff the early lvling is.

Just to point out, if you and your friends are living in a dorm and are sharing wifi, you will need an exemption from the staff. If you all have different IPs, you're good to go. Would suck to get banned on stream your first session, lol.

Hi don't play this game. Use your school's free gym instead, and finish school

Pretty much sums it up. Even if you quit. These forums end up becoming a AA meeting for people who played and cant leave. This game replaced crack in the 99'.

If you're going to flunk your classes for an MMO, at least make it a game you don't need to be embarrassed about playing.

make all the chars near a central city ( qeynos area, freeport area or faydwer are good. class/stats is not important. faces are very important. the main thing you will need for the first few hours is:
1. locate yourself and your guild on the map using p1999 wiki map and /loc
2. equip your sword and find the autoattack key
3. become proficient enough at begging to get big plats from the guards, you must drink alot of mead to make this trick work

Start in Qeynos!! And make the journey from Qeynos to Freeport together....

That was a legendary journey younglings would make. Often guides would offer their services to help run groups of people to Freeport....though often a few wouldn't survive the journey.
