Decided to roll a Druid after over a decade away from EQ

[Llurendt]

As far as newbie-friendly guilds, I just joined Kittens Who Say Meow, though I saw one other US guild which accepts newbies... Vindication I think? Both looked good, but KWSM seemed more casual, which is more in line with my play style, haha.

EDIT: Oh! Also, the wiki has a LOT of great information. There are multiple guides for most classes which at least discuss most of your questions and are a great starting point (I think), though I'm still new, so I don't have much to judge them by, haha.
