New to EQ

[Slave]

My one and only piece of advice to a new player would be: do not play a bard (or a warrior). Magician is an outstanding choice. Always try to group with at least 1 person to avoid the major pet exp nerf. (Even if they're in another zone and not actively helping you with your camp)

That said, I have some statements that you should hear.

1) Kunark is probably the best expansion for any game, of any genre, at any time, ever. And I am including Diablo 2: LOD in this.

2) You are one of the very few people to recently be able to play this game as a new experience. I envy you in the way that I envy someone who is about to read George RR Martin for the first time.

3) I absolutely congratulate you on your mere attempt to play this game. The coolest and smartest people I know won't even do that. So this pretty much makes you instantly cooler and smarter than the best people I know. FML.
