Completely new to this server and game need help

I can feel your pain lol. I remember when I first started EQ I was totally lost.

The best advice I can give you is to group up with someone and ask for their help. You are never going to figure out all the stuff needed by yourself. Best to farm bone chips and HQ Bear Hides to make some plat for gear. It is just going to take time trust me.

This game is hard as heck even for people that know the game. The classic aspect of this game makes it damn hard. That is why Sony kept making changes to it to make it a bit easier. So don't give up. There is a lot of pride in this game just to make a good toon with good gear. It ain't easy.

As others have said focus on finding a group of close leveled folks to group with, if you get lucky you come across a couple players with the same schedule as you and will end up with a steady partner or 2.

Any class quests worth doing wont be til later on, and any part that is low level will be a breeze to run through by then.

Ask, in group, questions you may have during downtime between pulls if there is any.

As far as maps and figuring out where to go, notice specific landmarks as you travel. After 6-7 years of being away from Norrath, I was able to easily find my way around less common zones based on landmarks I recalled from my time on live, and of course the help of EQAtlas maps.

And remember, unlike many of the newer games, mobs won't quit chasing you until you break agro by using Feign Death(Monk, Necro), or zoning. So don't beleive you've outrun them just because you don't see them, they're still coming. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
