Completely new to EQ!
Good afternoon all,
I just thought I'd drop a quick hello and gather people's thoughts on the best place for a newbie to start? Blue? Green? I'm from the UK, I do hope there's an EU player base as well as a US? In the late 90's early 00's, Asheron's Call and Ultima Online always took precedence in my MMO world. I have never played EQ in any form. I feel as though I've missed out and I want to come and experience EQ in it's classic form. I have no doubt the learning curve for EQ will be steep (something I'm really looking forward to, I had trouble answering the question on Forum registration! [You must be logged in to view images.

I barely played Asheron's Call and I knew enough about UO, to know they were decent competitors in their own rights. I'm not sure how much different EQ will be.
Starting off the game, EQ classic is mostly just a gambling machine, to see if your character will die or not. I can understand someone not enjoying it, or saying it requires no skill but its still my favorite game. /shrugs | ||

As Necro, be prepared to have faction issues. Press C every time you target someone in a town - if it says threateningly or scowls, you are not welcome

I would recommend starting on Green. The server is a lot younger than Blue and isn't as "corrupted" by mudflation and top-heaviness (on Blue, most people play the high level game, as they had a lot of time to level up).
Without hesitation - go Green and don't rush to the high level game, enjoy every bit of the trip. | ||

EQ is definitely nothing like UO. I've played lots of both. Never played AC though, I think EQ might be similar to that. Anyway just posting to say I'm jealous cause I wish I could play it for the first time again.
