Are there any tips for a rookie like me prior to the launch on Friday who never dwelled into EQ.

Avoid dying at all costs. You lose progress and you wake up naked and helpless and have to find your body to get your stuff back. Do not die.

Welcome! First off, Norrath is tough. Be ready for a stomach punch every now and then. Starting at level 2. It takes much more exp than level 1.

Sounds like it's right up your alley. Disclaimer: I haven't read it, but the title fits.

Nice to read, thank you.
Even if i did not play WoW that much it generaly describes what was different to all the other MMOs i played during the last 20 years.

Fight next to the zone line and you know, be real careful. That's how I got my warrior to lv21 before dying to a bugged npc. But that's just bragging and neither here not there. My advice to him is based on his experience in WoW. He probably thinks he can just die and it's no sweat [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I remember one of my biggest surprises when I went to WoW from EQ was the fact that when I killed a MOB with a weapon in their hand, I did not get to loot the weapon.

This was foreign to me and I didn't understand. I then realized that weapons in the hand of a MOB meant NOTHING in WoW. In this game, however, not only will you get whatever weapon the MOB is holding of you kill it, the weapon will also change the way the MOB attacks you.
