What Green WON'T have to start with

[Chryorn]

Yes, I was surprised by that when I made a human ranger a few day ago. I was wondering if I should really run over to Surfall Glade just to turn in the note or just start killing mobs in the yard. Decided to run to see how difficult that would be. Wasn't a problem. Still a bit strange though.

Rangers and Druids classic initial spawn point is supposed to both be in surefall glade, at the back wall you hit if you walk straight forward out the door of the druid guild. Their initial bind point is supposed to both be in Qeynos Hills, approximately 150 game units south southeast of Chanda Miller.


In project 1999, they mistakenly both spawn at the priest of discord in North qeynos, and their initial bind point is northeast of the gate to qeynos. All wrong.

That dark and long ass tunnel out of SFG was super fun to attempt navigation as a brand new human. People are gonna shit if they actually get the old levels of darkness going for this thing.

My very first char started in surefall. So blind. Used a map of qeynos because that is where I selected to spawn. Proceeded to be a completely lost & confused preteen in that darkness and in the end rerolled a mage.

My first time running from Freeport to East Commonlands. I could see NOTHING. All I remember is my combat text:

Orc Pawn tries to hit you, but misses.
Orc Pawn hits you for 1 pt of damage.
A black wolf hits you for 1 pt of damage.
A black wolf tries to hit you, but misses.
Orc Pawn tries to his you, but misses.
A black wolf hits you for 1 pt of damage.

Then, a new string of text was added after I heard an unfamiliar (but later would become VERY familiar) sound.

A griffin hits you for 80 pts of damage.

I ran frantically but I couldn't see anything. I had no idea which way I was going or where I even was. I wound up running into one of the doors of one of the inns and as I opened the door, I was killed.

THAT'S Classic EQ!

Yes, right outside the glade in Qeynos Hills a bunch of lower level mobs spawn, the problem is not very far away are some much higher level stuff so it behooves folks to not stray too far from the guards at first. The very south end of Qeynos Hills has some slightly higher mobs that are near the zone edge to Qeynos.

It'd be nice if they could reinstate that starting point.

Do we have confirmation of classic darkness? I'd love it to be in, but my understanding is that it's really hard to implement with the current client.
