A tour of norrath, need some advice

This is a good point - classic eq is hardmode, and people that aren't nostalgic for it may run out of patience for the slow leveling + other parts that we like but are not present in current MMOs.

Try to ignore the min/maxers, play what you want, and have a good time. You'll do fine - this ain't rocket science.
