New to EQ
Hello, I have always been fascinated by the stories of family members and friends, of this amazing word, and i was never able to share in their stories because i have never experienced the game. For this reason i decided to start a character on this classic server, i have never played EQ before.
as of right now i am playing a Bard, If anyone has any advice it would be appreciated [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.], wish me luck. | ||

Welcome to EQ. Be prepared for an MMO before instancing (everything in game people have to compete over), rare-contested spawns, difficult quests, takes a long time to level, an actual real auction system.
Bards are good soloers later on, you can aoe kite multiple mobs and be pretty effective. Bards incur a 40% xp penalty, so it will take you longer to level up than some other characters. If you read into the getting started section you can see into this. Good luck and welcome. | ||

Bards are excellent soloers from level 2, when they get chords of dissonance. You can start strafe-kiting at that level. I got my bard to 9 just by doing that with the gnolls outside Blackburrow and doing the fangs quest.
The 40% experience penalty really hurts... Quote:

Oh how I wish I were in your shoes! Starting with a clean slate on a classic server...
Everything will be a joy of discovery for you. That's what I'm jealous of... it's all new for you. I'm glad for you to have found a classic server. It's pretty darn close to how it was despite all the handwringing and crying on the forums. Remember, for any online game, the forums always paint a portrait of an unfair broken game. Take it with a grain of salt and prepare to ENJOY the OBSESSION!

Kunark = Expansion Blue has kunark = not classic Red has no expansions = classic Populations are pretty even between the servers, one can have more than the other at a given time. Red will eventually have kunark, but until that time it is the classic. Also, blue sucks because it has no pvp, no additional spice to the gameplay. | |||

Do you think the red population will die off after the newness wears off? | |||

Alot of people had been looking forward to it for a long time, so as long as it is managed well I would figure on it getting scattered new players that hear about it and want to try EQ pvp on a decent emu to replace the random people that leave...at least to a reasonable degree. Bottom line would be that if you want to try EQ pvp then have at it. | |||
