New guy here, having a blast

[Qratz]

WoW player here, haven't really played EQ before much (I tried Live trial and f2p, got a few chars but max one was lvl 7, wasn't really thrilled with how Live worked).
Tried P99, ran into debugger bug and crashing. Fixed it by stopping AVG.
Made a half-elf druid on blue, Kelethin as starter town. I managed to fall down, and started killing stuff in the forest. Few bats and wasps down, I got ganked by an orc oracle who suddenly appeared behind me and one-shotted me.

Spent 15 minutes trying to find my corpse without any success. I was I don't know where. Deleted a character since it was still lvl 1 and made a new one. Let's go again!
Started close to the lift and guards this time. Got a few helpfull buffs - run speed and damage reflect I think, which made me godlike compared to what I was before, reflect pretty much doubling my DPS. Managed to get lvl 2! Ran around Greater Faydark, killed stuff, avoided getting killed, found a group of guys at what I gathered from ooc chat must've been orc hill.

They apologized to me because they were full. They. Apologized. Because they were full. And advised me to level to 4 before camping orc hill. I was stunned. Speechless.
Compared to other MMOs nowadays when most people just do their own thing until max lvl when they're forced into grouping - or play lobby-like matchup dungeons and battlegrounds - here the general community seems to work really well. Best that I've seen in a MMO.

Despite the aged graphics and bad drawing distance, I'm finding myself pulled into this server. Level 3 now [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

However, I noticed almost half of the people around seem to be druids as well? Did I choose my class poorly, will I have issues later?
