Hi, I'm EQ is completley new to me and....

[quellren]

It's not terrifying... it's just... non-linear.
You're 'born' with a sword and a note and it's up to you from there.

Find friends. They'll point you in the right direction and watch your back.

thanks for all the helpful tips guys, I did try and read up on quests before this and assumed they were just vauge discriptions. I will find the game much more enjoyable now that I know that questing is not an important factor and I can infact do whatever I want.

I wouldn't worry too much about gear, unless you are a melee then get a decent weapon. I would just save up for spells and some -cheap- caster gear if I was going that route also.

Hit me up in game, Jval.

Jval the name is Hmotzart. Yeh this game isn't based on questing since most every quest reward is trade able. If you want to purchace items best place to look for trades is in East Commons if you are lost. http://www.steveprutz.com/eq/ is a great site for maps. THANKS STEEEVE!

This game is more about community than gear or quests.. Make friends, adventure with them and have a good time. You reputation is really all you have here. You mess that up and Good luck getting anything done in the long run. Hope you have fun and GL.

IMO the name suits the game except a little backwards. should be named Quests that take forEver. HEHE . That's where the term EPIC comes from in other games. But here once the epic's open up you'll see what a real epic item is. It is not Epicly running to your epic bank, pulling out your epic cash, epicly running to the epic auction house, and buying your EPIC! hehe..

Here it is truly a epic quest to get your epic.

I am Draxz in game, feel free to sent me a tell whenever. I can't offer much support since I'm only lvl 11 but I played EQ Live a lot back in the day and I'm always down for helping out.

And yeah, this game can be terrifying, but that's one of the things that makes it awesome!

Yeah brocachos its all about xp. I wouldn't worry about items until 29-34+ at minimum. Can't really camp any good items until 39-44+.

Save all of your coin! Save that shit up until you have enough to buy some decent loot! That's how I got my (respectable for a new character) stuff.
